Thank You for Kicking me Off Welfare. No Need for the Happy Tinkling of Coins in Pockets. I Hope that Putting my Pilots Licence Through the Shredder Helps the Collective.
I Love my new 85 Calorie Daily Allowable Limit. So Happy You Discovered My Hidden Liberty Device and had It Removed. All Hail Cube HQ.

I suppose that after they're done seizing our wages at gunpoint, since we are all wage slaves (save for the benighted holy classes of lawyers & politicians), they'll "make up the difference" to buy a Rambo-wagon by raiding law-abiding citizens' homes and seizing our property for asset forfeiture. I used to wear the badge, so I know that in asset forfeiture the owner is not charged with a crime, the property (perversely enough) is charged, and the seized property is sold for a profit even when there is no prosecution. This is legalized theft under color of law, and is tyrannical and unconstitutional (not to mention illegal under certain federal laws). I made a point not to be involved in these crimes.

The way police as a whole behave today is creating the very real perception that they're gearing up for warfare against the people whom they are supposed to serve. When the match is lit and this country explodes in civil war, they had better expect to become targets of opportunity in a 360 degree shooting gallery.

Oh, and by the way, those Rambo-wagons can't go off-road. They have limited armor protection in certain areas, and if that weren't all, eventually the occupants have to get out to take a dump... When you think about it, they're not very useful for anything except terrorizing an unarmed population into police state submission.

I turned in my badge precisely because of what the profession has turned into; it is no longer the job of 'peace officer' that my dad was sworn to do. I'd sooner shovel sh!t than wear the badge anymore; at least it's an honest living.
