"Turn it down (referring to the music) or I take your ass to jail"
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 03:22 AM by Tyranny_R_US
I think the full military get up with overkill but don't you have a feeling in the very near future (ie a red terra alert) this won't be very unusual?

Story:

About 90 law enforcement officers from multiple agencies broke up what they said was a rave party on public and private property in the Diamond Fork area of Spanish Fork canyon.

Utah County sheriff's Sergeant Darren Gilbert says they made about 60 arrests for weapons offenses, driving under the influence, underage drinking, drug possession and distribution, resisting arrest, assault on a police officer and disorderly conduct.

Some partygoers say that law enforcement used excessive force during arrests at the party. One woman claims she was punched by officers and thrown to the ground.

The Utah County Sheriff says he was there when the arrests occurred and that no excessive force was used by any officer.

1. this was a very serious breach of domestic law
Posse Comitatus is a very serious concern as well as police brutality.

These guys are not going to get off the hook unless it's with the help of Federalist Society Klansmen presiding over the cases.

4. Blame the Government for your confusion.
The "Posse Comitatus" laws were very clearly written,
and easily understandable when they were passed 100 years ago.

Because, back then, there was a world of difference
between "Police officers" and "Active Troops".

But nowadays, we have our local "Peace Officers" using:
A: Military GEAR
B: Military WEAPONS
And, worst of all,
C: Military TACTICS

Police officers used to be our friends and neighbors;
these days they behave like OCCUPIERS in a conquered nation.

SADDEST of all:
A lot of our troops in Iraq would give an arm and a leg
for "body armor" like those "Peace Officers" wore while invading that concert...

And some of them already "gave" their arms and legs
because they didn't have it.

2. I see it coming but just how soon.
A"National Emergency" will occur,the Bush Crime Family imposes "Martial Law" suspend the Constitution and poof away goes our Civil Liberties..2 weeks ago here in NYC the 4th Amendment was "DOA".
All subway goers needed to be bag checked,if you refused you were ordered to go elsewhere,its one thing to look for bombs and another if you forgot you had a your weed in the backpack,now your arrested.Probable Cause is dead.This new policy took effect after the London incidents,even that crime smells..Martial Law,how would Americans accept it? Our Military working along side local law enforcement would be a formidable opponet...Scary stuff.Knowing this Bush Crime Family was willing to see as many as 30,000 people die on 911,lies about Iraq would have no difficulty and would welcome a major attack inside America...

If you think it's hell being a prisoner of their ego, think about how much worst it must be for them.
