are you familar with the story of the Maryland Mayor that had his door kicked in and his dogs shot, while he and he mother-in-law laid on the floor for four hours? He says for awhile he didn't know they were cops because they kept that fact concealed.

6. DU was incensed over that
It's hard to believe the police did that - to the mayor, no less. If the mayor's not safe from intrusion, none of us are. If you can, try doing a DU search.

Welcome to DU.:)

7. you are so right. alas.
been going on since about 1990 when the "swat" model
reached even small towns. It was partly a money game.
departments could bge money and equipment.

With the patriot act and similar state laws, its now
way past :scared:

the only bright spot is obama... but he doesn't seem
focused on that yet... I guess we give him some time.
But 'worried man' would be me.

5. Wait a minute! The FBI informant is an active & violent criminal?
This unsavory character not only infiltrated and informed on the RNC-8, but on another case that was recently dismissed? Dismissed because of his violent & criminal activity, the government wouldn't /couldn't call on this guy to testify!

So the government besides being 'thought' police feel justified in using criminals to criminalize dissent?

Yet, in Denver the US Attorney didn't feel the need to prosecute the three who threatened then-candidate Obama!?!

Where's the justice?
