The Terrorist Threat in America
When we think terrorist the Middle East comes to mind, religious
fanatics, islamic jihadist come to mind. Names like Abdul, Muhammad,
Khalid creep into our psyche , but what about names like George, Ray,
Tom, Todd or any other ordinary name you might find on any police force
in any Municipality in this country... America's standing army on this
soil the biggest threat to any American family , these fully armed
military trained soldiers sworn to protect and serve We the People
serve as more of a malignant tumor to society .
Case in point , have you seen an episode of COPS lately? you know
it was quoted by a poet I personally know "The worst enemy you can have
is not the guy you have a conflict with , but the cop that has a
conflict with you." As he likes to refer to it as the time before
"racial profiling" was popular .
Or the case of a "Black" man in Allen Park, MI who after being
harrassed by the police complained to the mayor of the city the police
response to the mayor's inquiry to the man's complaint they launch an
investigation against the man , after conducting surveillance and
finding no wrong doing the police went through the man's trash on the
curb (public property) found a few sticks , and secured a warrant to
come into the man's home (private property) .
And while the man was in possession of marijuana plants in a locked
room according to reports the circumstances surrounding the
incident scream police misconduct . Point 1. the tip that this
man was this Big Time narcotics dealer came not from a concerned
neighbor but in fact was one cop to another after the Mayor
Inquired the man's complaint.
Point 2. The same cop who conducted the investigation , went through
the trash , secured the warrant , and by all accounts took the bad cop
role to a very dark place, stood up in open court and perjured himself
all in an effort to get this man the maximum bail for a first
time conviction.
Now the perversion of common sense - These officers harrassed this man
, and when he complained they did not correct the problem they
persecuted and prosecuted him - how bout that? the other P.O.C.S how do
get a warrant out of going through public property to go into someone's
private home .
I tried to dismiss this story as sour grapes at first glance he was
growing weed in a house with kids was first thought. Until I actually
spoke with the man and he made an interesting and scary
point " These officer's found a couple of sticks in trash on the curb
and got a warrant to come in my house, what if it had been an old baby
picture of me in the tub is that evidence I am doing kiddie porn, or
did I simply discard an old picture ." it just seems like you would
need more .
When I really thought about it that could happen to anybody even
me . After carefully reviewing the facts I deemed this to be a
gross P.O.C.S whereby the constitution guarantees the right to privacy
, and against illegal search and seizure , in fact there is no wording
in the constitution that allows for a "police force", reason being the
founding fathers realized what a group of thugs loyal to the king free
from recourse could do to a fledgling nation, this is the fundamental
reason for the second amendment ( A standing army can
not rule if the people have arms) .
While marijuana may be illegal what a person chooses to do in their own
home is nobody's business, and anything found in trash that may have
been discarded by anybody, is just not enough probable
cause in my opinion to warrant a search of anybody's private property
no matter what color their skin .
