Cops Kill 8 Times More Americans Than Terrorists
Many people have noticed that several of the local police officers, particularly the younger ones are more gruff, rude and even abusive as compared to the past. Many veteran officers attribute the shift towards DHS’ training of local police which focuses on teaching the police that the public is their enemy as opposed to the traditional view that teaches that the local population and the police are partners in keeping the community safe.
Whatever happened to the friendly neighborhood cop who walked a beat, was well-known and respected by the local residents and was seen as the protector of the neighborhood? Far too often, that cop has been replaced by thugs wearing camouflage, bank robber type black ski masks who are armed with automatic weapons and sometimes even break down the doors of people who are innocent.
A Long-Term Trend Towards the Militarization of the Local Police
Americans have long maintained that a man’s home is his castle and that he has the right to stand his ground in defending his property from dangerous interlopers.
police state Tallahassee Unfortunately, the right to defend one’s own home may be disappearing. America has become Swat team happy. America has seen a disturbing trend towards militarization of its local civilian law enforcement, along with a dramatic and very disturbing rise in the use of paramilitary police units being used for routine police work. The most common use of SWAT teams today is to serve narcotics warrants, usually with forced, unannounced entry into the home. However, anyone can be swat-teamed, even those who default on their student loans have been swat-teamed.
Since 9/11, and the subsequent militarization of the police by the Department of Homeland Security, about 5,000 Americans have been killed by US police officers. The civilian death rate is nearly equal to the number of US soldiers killed in Iraq. In fact, you are 8 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist.http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/08/president-obama-the-odds-of-dying-in-a-terrorist-attack-are-a-lot-lower-than-they-are-of-dying-in-a-car-accident.html
Salt Lake City: The Federalization of Our Police
Under the creation of the Unified Police Department (UPD) in Salt Lake City, Utah,http://updsl.org/index_new.html local jurisdictions and municipalities which were previously controlled by the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office, was reallocated to UPD. The UPD is a regional police force. They answer to no mayor, no city council and no county commissioners. The UPD is Salt Lake City’s new police department and serves as the model for the program which is being implemented in other police departments across the nation.http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705355392/Unified-Police-Department-starting-Friday.html?pg=all This centralized Gestapo type of law enforcement does not belong anywhere in America.
It is clear that the police departments are being trained as the local enforcers of the coming marital law and they are also being trained to use horrific brutality.
While the majority of police officers are good men, reports like raiding the wrong house and subsequently killing the individuals inside are becoming more common place and the officers that are involved rarely face any sort of consequences.
cops wrong house John Adams 61, was shot and killed by police in a drug raid on the wrong house. His wife Loraine, 70, was also handcuffed and forced to the ground. Not one of the officers has lost their job. In fact, some have even been promoted since the event.
Jose Guerena murdered by the Pima County Sheriffs in Tucson.
Jose Guerena was shot and killed by several members of the Pima County Sheriff’s Office on a drug raid that produced no evidence of drug use or that of selling drugs.http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/02/is-stuart-rhodes-an-oathkeeper-or-a-gatekeeper/ He was an Iraq veteran and the Pima Sheriffs officers let him bleed to death over the course of an hour after being shot over 60 times. The deputies denied Guerena medical attention. Not one of the officers has lost their job.
The Guerena and Adams cases are being played out all across the country. This is unacceptable in a supposed free society. However, what we are witnessing is the militarization of police for what looks like brutal martial law training. Why else would we see such senseless acts of violence being committed by police against American citizens all across the country?
The Data Says It Is Time for the Public to Act
cops cato The CATO Institute’s National Police Misconduct Reporting Project, in 2010 there were 4,861 reports of police misconduct involving 6,613 sworn officers and 6,826 alleged victims.http://www.policemisconduct.net/statistics/2010-annual-report/
The question of police discipline is one of the fox watching the hen house. Far too often the police are left to discipline themselves. Many communities who are dissatisfied with police departments’ internal discipline procedures have created volunteer police watch groups to prevent the police from hiding behind the discipline offered by colleagues as they hide behind the “thin blue line”, which serves to protect fellow officers accused of wrong doing.http://www.mintpressnews.com/who-polices-the-police-eyewitnesses-document-misconduct-and-brutality/162268/
cops no knock raid increases Coupled with the paramilitary design of the police bureaucracy itself, the police give in to what is already a serious problem in the ranks: the belief that the increasing use of power against a citizen is always justified no matter the violation. The police don’t understand that in many instances they are the cause of the escalation and bear more responsibility during an adverse outcome. The Cato Institute maintains a botched raid map at this link.http://www.cato.org/raidmap
The Solution Is to Film Cops in the Performance of Their Duties
As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Police should be filmed in the performance of their duty so there is no question as to whether the police are applying excessive force and are following the Constitution.
We can no longer trust cops to operate on their own authority. They must wear cameras.
In Minneapolis, the city government voted to spend $25,000 to have cops wear cameras in the performance of their duties. City Council member, Betsy Hodges, said that the city will ultimately save money from lessening the number of law suits.http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2013/10/17/cop-cameras-could-cut-back-on-complaints-use-of-force/
Film Cops and Get Life In Prison
Unfortunately, many police are not warm to the idea of being filmed in the performance of their duties. However, it is perfectly legal to film cops so long as they are not interfered with as nobody in public has an expectation of privacy. Yet, the law has not stopped some cops from abusing their authority and arresting people for harmlessly filming officers in the performance of their duty.
Michael Allison, recorded police officers on duty in his front yard inspecting vehicles he was repairing. The police cited Allison for failing to properly register his vehicles, and so he requested an ordinance review hearing. Allison now faces five felony counts, with each count carrying a penalty for 15 years in prison. For videotaping police and a court proceeding, Allison faces an unbelievable total of 75 years, or the rest of his life in prison under Illinois new eavesdropping statutes.
Conclusion
Clearly, the tide of increasing and deadly police brutality must be stemmed in America. The solutions that should be invoked are (1) invoke the 10th Amendment and forbid DHS to train local law enforcement; (2) repeal the legislation which permits the military and DHS to donate military hardware to local police departments, it is not needed and promotes a paramilitary attitude towards police work; (3) establish a citizen review board which will have authority over all complaints regarding police brutality. The police can longer be allowed to judge their own; and, (4) require all on-duty police to wear cameras when they are on duty.
cops wont stop These simple actions could go a long way towards re-establishing civilian control over too many departments which are clearly out of control and are serving to endanger the public as opposed to serving the public.
“While the majority of police officers are good men … ”
No offense, but this is delusional as reports of these types of situations in your article multiply by the day and this has been going on for longer than most realize. We’re hearing about it more now due to The Internet.
Holding up the majority of cops as “good” only adds to the delusion that there’s some sort of “hope” that the “good cops” will somehow help make things better. A dream at best.
It’s very similar to the delusion of the recent rally behind various Sheriffs that are “going to stand up and defend your ‘right’ to keep and bear arms.” You know, “not on my watch.”
Where were any of these Sheriffs (and this “majority” of cops, you know, all those “good” ones you speak of) that are now making statements in favor of people being armed, when all the rest of your freedoms and liberties were being taken from you ???
Remember, these are the same ones that are in charge of enforcing ALL those draconian laws you’re now oppressed by, as well as those who pull you over and demand “your papers please” (a.k.a. driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance).
It’s amazing. When these “Law Enforcement” (they used to be called “Keepers of The Piece”. They’re not there for piece, but enforcement) say one thing right or don’t raid you or beat you up, and all of a sudden they’re some kind of heroes or considered “good”.
They’re not the “defenders of liberty” they’re now made out to be because this one statement, which some have stated that part of the reason was lack of deputies and cops due to layoffs. They can’t keep up with less. The Law Enforcement Growth Industry is suffering from the economic woes like the rest.
Nor is this “majority” you speak of because they haven’t raided your house or beaten you up, yet. They just haven’t had their chance.
Their collective track records on rights and liberties aren’t exactly stellar. Don’t be fooled. There are some, but very few “good guys” and they’re the exception, not the rule.
Were we not oppressed by draconian laws and being pulled over and commanded to produce “your papers please” (a.k.a. driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance) in the 70s, 80s and 90s by this majority of “good guys” (and now “good guy-ettes”) ??? ” … and your women rule over you.” Isaiah 3: 12.
It’s just that now, they’ve gotten worse and more oppressive because this nation continues on the road to becoming “twice the sons of hell” as those who have proselytized it.
And cameras on them at more public expense to further support The Law Enforcement Growth industry will solve this SYSTEMIC problem ??? Perhaps we can wave the constitution at them; been workin’ pretty good so far, hasn’t it ???
The constitution is dead.
It’s time to wake up Constitutionalists. Wake up Constitutionalists. Come on, wake up, wake up Constitutionalists. Coffee’s brewing. Take a big whiff Constitutionalists. You’re just dreaming, Constitutionalists. In fact, you have to wake up RIGHT NOW, because the police are here and they have everyone in the whole city of Boston under “lock down”.
They’re POUNDING ON THE DOOR, telling us we have to come out while they search EVERYONE’S house for a 19 year old patsy they’re blaming ANOTHER false flag event on. Wake up Constitutionalists. Come on Constitutionalists, wake up. Wake up. Wake up.
What are you “free” to do without getting permits, licenses, etc. ????
Try and add or build something on “your” property without asking permission !!!
Aren’t these “good” cops enforcing these things against you ??? Oh, I know, “just doing their job”, right ?
Your Constitutional Republic died decades ago and was turned into a Communist Republic.
All 10 Planks of The Communist Manifesto in Full Force In AmeriKa: http://www.criminalgovernment.com/docs/planks.html
And now it’s morphed into Corporate Fascism. And your article brings more proof that this is indeed the case !
This is result of this nation’s being deceived by the enemy to think we know better than The Almighty and should usurp His Law making power, which is to be EXCLUSIVE TO HIM.
We allowed the process to begin when we decided “We The People” should be god (sovereign) and decide what is to be the supreme law of the land.
The legislative process provided by the various federal and state constitutions was the vehicle used for the enemy to corrupt over time (via gradual increments) and finally take over. This nation wanted to determine what was “good and evil” (remember the garden?), instead of enforcing His Perfect Moral Laws.
Malim in se (evil in and of itself as defined by The Great I Am, the ONLY lawgiver) vs. malim prohibitum (evil because someone determines, or legislates, it to be evil).
The only way to save this nation is to turn back to Him, His Perfect Moral Laws, Statutes and Judgments, i.e., His Kingdom/Will On Earth.
Turn back to The King of kings and His Laws Statutes and Judgments. It’s a much better deal than the one you now have.
“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, And I will give you rest. Take My yoke (i.e., His Law 1 John 5: 2 & 3, as well as His tithe [tax] system) upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and ‘YOU SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.’ (Jer. 6: 16). My yoke is easy, and My load is light.” Matthew 11: 28 – 30.
He told us that if His people ” … shall humble themselves (e.g., quit thinking we’re the sovereign, take our proper place and quit usurping His), and pray, and seek my face (e.g., He’s to be the ONLY law giver), and turn from their wicked ways (e.g., enforce His Laws, Statutes and Judgments); THEN will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
