Expressive Opposition

The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Social Disobedience

While the streets are filled with gang members and real thugs committing acts of violence, and wall street with high class corporate thieves screwing the middle class, the dopey police in America are still wasting time pouncing on desperate men (and even women I suppose) looking for a good time with a willing hooker. Yes, the victimless crime, and a timeless profession much older than the nation that pretends to have higher moral standards. What happens when the police go too far and start arresting folks stopped by a supposed streetwalker, when they aren’t even interested in some pay-for-an-std action? Then the police have definitely gone too far!

New Orleans police officer Robert Evangelist was caught on tape brutalizing 66-year-old Robert Davis in the French Quarter on Oct. 8, 2005. A television news crew captured the brutality on video of three NOPD officers and two FBI agents piled on Mr. David using what is undeniably excessive force. The video was shown on national television, and from CNN to Fox News viewers expressed a general consensus that the level of police force was beyond what’s necessary. So what happened to the bully cops? All charges against them dropped, a total whitewash, and business as usual in the American police state.

When a 19-year-old was severely beaten by the police of a Chicago suburb back in March, local residents became alarmed. Officer Ken Gross administered a beating to Franklin Park resident Edison Reformado whom the officer claims was resisting arrest. However, it is reported that Mr. Reformado was continually tasered five additional times after he became submissive and was on the ground. The officer also kicked and punched the man who he claims was still resisting arrest. Witnesses have a different take on the events. Thankfully, The Forest Park Review is bringing this and other incidences of police Brutality to the attention of the public. Today that paper has the story, “Defenders of police brutality must wake up and face facts.”

In what is becoming a police state in Franklin Ohio an elderly woman has been hospitalized after receiving five brutal shots from a police officer using a powerful taser gun. The 68-year-old woman was said to have been “resisting arrest” after she voluntarily went to a police station to settle a domestic disturbance dispute involving her daughter. A very long wait resulted in little reward; she was zapped by the cop and forced to the floor where she was frightened for her very life.

Police State conditions continue to grow here in the United States with the latest, the FCC mandates all broadband and Internet phone providers to create backdoors for the government to listen in on private user networks. VoIP companies have 18 months to put these backdoors in place for local police and federal agents to use.

Again, the DOJ is behind the kind of government tyranny leading us firmly into a future police state. Teamed up with the FCC, DEA and FBI, an act went into law called the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA).

An eleven-year-old Texas girl and two other children have been suspended from their school because she folded paper to resemble a crude gun shape. Furthermore, the children must attend an alternative school for the month following the suspension, all for folding paper with no intent of any wrongful behavior. “I just thought they would tell us to throw it in the trash or just cut it up and don’t make no more,” the girl said. This raises the question of excessive post Columbine sensitivity in other schools so many years after the horrific 1999 school shooting.
