Title: Philly Police Harass, Threaten to Shoot Man Legally Carrying Gun
Post by: rickl on May 16, 2011, 10:09:19 PM
Found at Instapundit.

I haven't listened to the recording yet.  I'm going to bed soon and don't need to get all wound up.  The article is bad enough.

Yah, best not to listen before bed; it'll only get your BP up to no good.

It's no wonder people hate cops.

Ran across this column by Massad Ayoob last week; the comments were a litany of fear of cops and their power today.  Interestingly, Ayoob responded with something about "cop-haters".

Know what is really frightening? Indiana Supreme Court gives cops like this the right to violate the Constitution to enter your home FOR ANY REASON, without a warrant or probable cause.

In a Ticker several months ago, Karl Denninger pointed out that when the SHTF, the police will be vastly outnumbered by the feral beasts roaming the streets.  When that happens, they will wish they had law-abiding citizens on their side.

Amen, brother!  I know stories like this one in Philly should no longer surprise me...it sure seems that if your a low-life scumbag bastard you get all the breaks and if you're a law-abiding citizen you don't get sh*t for consideration...but these stories sure piss the hell out of me!  When the SHTF I just hope I don't have to fight way through both zombies and police!  But I am not hopefull.  How will LEO's distinguish a fricken zombie from a citizen defending themselves?  They seem to have a hell of a time trying to figure that out now!

Know what is really, really frightening?  Yesterday,

The Supreme Court, in an 8-1 decision in a Kentucky case, says police officers who loudly knock on a door in search of illegal drugs and then hear sounds suggesting evidence is being destroyed may break down the door and enter without a search warrant.

OMG, it's just like on the road, an officer doesn't even have to see an actual infraction to pull you over, he just has to say he saw an infraction!  This country is rapidly losing any semblance to a free Republic!  These SOB's are pushing us in the face!  We need to push back in theirs , HARD!

Has anyone also noticed that you don't see many small or average sized cops anymore ? They're mostly big , brutish , hulking bastards like the SA were in Nazi Germany .

You know what's really, really frightening about the SC case you mentioned?  The lone dissent was Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg!  The world truly is coming to an end.

No.  Far more egregious.

Today is one of those days when the knot in my stomach is giving me a headache.
