Not surprised at all watching this. It's situations like this that inspired the second amendment!
I was thinking the other day, what would happen if my house alarm went off and the cops showed up while I was armed and searching the grounds? How would they react?
Errmm? It's almost three times the size of RI. Population is a quarter million.I counted 5 + 1 detective. SLO is a medium sized (smaller than RI) county in between LA and the bay area.
They would be ordering you to the ground at gun point. Or shooting you...
QFT. I can't think of a way to describe this better.Anyone who thinks the main conflict is about liberals vs. conservatives or democrats vs. republicans is deeply confused or just not paying attention. The conflict is between the people and the government.
What the hippies got right was the idea that government is inherently corrupt, hungry for power, and indifferent to the rights of the individual. The conservatives spent so much time fighting the counter-culture that they failed to recognize that just because the filthy hippies were irritating, and wrong most of the time, they were not wrong about everything. The knee-jerk conservatism turned to supporting more powerful government and more law enforcement control. Law and order became the trademark of the republicans, and remains so to date.
In the mean time, the liberals became the progressive arm of the democrat party. They are in power now, and have remembered everything that they believed decades before with one exception: now that they run government, they no longer distrust it. And they learned from the republicans just how useful it can be to have police power and a biased court system on your side.
So now here we are, with law and order on one side of the political spectrum and a desire for concentration of progressive control on the other.
You can see the conservative conflict in particular right here on this forum, where there is significant support for the rule of law, no matter how bad the law may be. Many conservatives, particularly older folks, just can't twist their thinking enough to see how much of a threat their government really is. They rail against criminals, but fail to understand that they are far better off facing criminals than a corrupt government, or, as in the videos above, corrupt enforcement of the law.
You can only fight this two ways. The first way, and the best of the two options, is to starve government financially, to oppose any extension of government power regardless of how helpful it may appear, to support any cut in taxes, and to question the validity of all victimless crimes. In short, starve the beast, and choose anarchy whenever possible. A government as corrupt and expansive as ours cannot be trusted with any more power, regardless of how beneficial it may seem.
X2I feel bad for LEO's who try and just do the right thing and have idiots like these bunch out there giving them a bad name.

It's really easy - every last one who did it or failed to stop it should be fired. A large civil settlement should be paid to the aggrieved party and this should be used as teaching material in the future.yeah I'll not comment on this.

And people wonder why we have skeptics.
Spot on observation.
There is a third way of fighting this and sooner or later these "Peace" officers are going to encounter a determined group of individuals who will not only resist but have a point to make.
Not advocating violence, just posting an opinion. People can only take so much.

Civil suits don't do much when the people being harassed are ultimately paying the bill.
