In America, now officially a police state, [color:red]you will be tasered in your own home if you lip off to the police[/color].

 

Senior citizen Peter McFarland of Marin County, California, discovered this after he fell down the stairs outside his home last year. On June 29, 2009, McFarland tumbled down the stairs and after his wife called paramedics the cops showed up. They entered McFarland’s home and tasered him because they claimed he was suicidal.

 

“We want to take you to the hospital for an evaluation, you said if you had a gun, you’d shoot yourself in the head,†a deputy can be heard saying on a video of the [color:red]incident captured on a taser mounted camera[/color]. McFarland said the comment was hyperbole made because he was in pain.

 

“Stand up, put your hands behind your back or you’re going to be tased,†the deputy commanded. McFarland refused, [color:red]told the police in no uncertain terms to get out of his house[/color], so the cop [color:red]tased him not once, but three times[/color], as his wife looked on in horror and pleaded with the cops to stop because her husband has a heart condition.

 

McFarland’s lawyer, John Scott, said [color:red]the cops did not have a search warrant or any reason to enter the McFarland residence[/color]. Scott told KGO-TV in San Francisco his client was [color:red]arrested, jailed and charged with resisting arrest. A judge later dismissed the charge[/color]. McFarland has filed suit against the Marin County Sheriff’s Department.

 

[color:red]Cops no longer need a search warrant in order to enter your home and torture you with a device akin to field telephone magnetos used on prisoners during the Vietnam War.[/color]

 

In fact, far too many cops have no idea what the Fourth Amendment stands for or do they understand that in large part the American Revolution was fought because agents of the crown used general warrants to enter homes, interrogate colonists, and seize “prohibited and uncustomed†goods.

 

John Adams, founding father and the second president of the United States, viewed these events “as the spark in which originated the American Revolution.†Adams and the founders understood [color:red]a man’s home is his castle[/color], as Edward Coke declared a century before, and a fortress “for his defense against injury and violence,†a concept that seems to be largely lost on many Americans...

California isn't really part of America any more.

His wife told the cops he had a heart condition. Just by looking at the man, you can tell he was a senior citizen.

 

This was all the cops needed to abuse the living shit out of the man. To make matters worse, the cops became criminals and got away with their shit and covered up their trail by arresting the victim.

 

People should realize that police are not their to 'protect and serve' but are agents of the government to make money at our expense.

There are good cops and then there are some bad cops. They usually ride together.

 

Seriously, I think we have an excellent police force where I live. No complaints and I've been here 25 years. Policing is a necessary evil that, unfortunately, typically attracts those least suited for the responsibility. In my town, even though the bastards may want to taze us or shoot us, they somehow manage to maintain professionalism.

 

Edit: Our police chief recently resigned and is now in charge of Oakland PD. Over to you, OH.

around here literally get away with murder. When they are not looting the public till, they are breaking the law and getting away with it.

Some of our cops have been known to be drunk, driving a police car.

 

Some of the worst drivers are cops.

I lived in Denver right after I got back from Vietnam. I remember the city insisted that all police recruits must have at least an associate of arts degree (2 years). The police were well paid and generally respected. You get what you pay for.

Rhe cops here are usually educated, and generally well over paid with fat over time scams and pensions that are bankrupting cities. They still suck ass.

I read a piece in the LA Times awhile back that revealed that being a prison guard in CA was one of the most lucrative jobs. Due to lots of OT and the highest hourly wage in the nation, the avg guard was making @ 120k yr.

 

Sick.

 

I know you guys don't want to hear this, but the unions are part of the problem.

 

I used to be 100% pro-Union. Not as much anymore.

There was one pig in Oakland who had a base pay of like $87K a year, but with over time, he made 238K...and his pension was based on that amount...and they wonder why the state and ciries are going broke? fuck the pigs, they do jack shit to earn their pay!
