Watch this video, taken from a police raid in Des Moines, Iowa.
Send it to some people. When critics (like me) warn about the dangers
of police militarization, this is what we’re talking about. You’ll see
the raid team, dressed in battle-dress uniforms, helmets and
face-covering balaclava hoods take down the family’s door with a
battering ram. You’ll see them storm the home with ballistics shields,
guns at the ready. More troubling still, you’ll see not one but two
officers attempt to prevent the family from having an independent record
of the raid, one by destroying a surveillance camera, another by
blocking another camera’s lens.
This kind of thing is going to result in some ninja cops getting killed, and more cries for "gun control...
Gays and liberals, not swans, are the invasive species. Spray DDT to kill the bedbugs and roaches that infest Manhattan minds. When we were allowed to smoke, TB and bedbugs got fumigated. Parasite Manhattan residents, like Washington DC and exconvicts should not be allowed to vote, unless they want to vote in Europe. Move all the parasite universities to Manhattan and tax all college degrees and net present value of rent control to reduce our property taxes. Require a valid driver license for any employment. Double tax any parasite not working for profit. Build and join rail hubs at Woodside and West Farms to bypass Manhattan. Liberate Long Island City and Brooklyn from over a century of 1898 Tamanend oppression. Move UN, missions, residences to Governor’s Island surrounded by gators. Anyone who shops at Whole Foods must consume at least one of their own organs weekly. Apartment dwellers must consume any vermin found on their premises. Turn Central Park into a smelly green waste processing facility. Firebrand the forehead of anyone having an abortion. Access in and out of subway stations should only be by firepole.
