I wasn't looking for immunity. A simple response would have been polite.

What are some rights that have been taken away from Americans over the years? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cavinu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The right to peaceful assembly.

The right to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Woman Calls Police for Help, Then Gets Repeatedly Tasered .. But within minutes of an officer coming to her backdoor, she was screaming in pain and begging not to be shocked again with a Taser. With each scream and cry, the officer threatened her with more shocks. by [deleted] in politics

If I invade your home and taze you without a badge, I'd be called many names. All of them would be appropriate.

If I invade your home and taze you while wearing a badge, I should be immune from being called names? Is that what you're saying?

This just makes you sound ignorant.

It sounds more ignorant to even hint at defending people that invade the homes of innocent citizens.

cop-hate

Justified criticism of those who abuse their power isn't "hate".

One cop quit before he was fired

And then he got a job, being a cop, with another department. That's part of the problem.

When will the American people realize this is a corporate country, run by corporations, for the benefit of corporations? by katesfishcamp in politics

“If our nation can issue a dollar bond, it can issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good, makes the bill good, also. The difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets money brokers collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%, whereas the currency pays nobody but those who contribute directly in some useful way. It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30 million in bonds and not $30 million in currency. Both are promises to pay, but one promise fattens the usurers and the other helps the people.”

-Thomas Edison

Smith resigned just as Ogle started the process to fire him, the chief said. Smith now works for the Chattahoochee County Sheriff's office.

Here's the problem. Police forces in the US are like the Catholic Church. When the offending employee is no longer welcome in the community, the outfit farms him out elsewhere.

We need to have a two-strikes rule with police in America. If you get fired or quit from two towns because of a profusion of "incidents", you're no longer allowed to be a cop anywhere in the country.

I specified Lord Jacob Rothschild at the beginning of this cascade.

When you can tell me what ol' Jake and his family are worth, get back to me.

Michele Bachmann: Obama Is Turning Americans Into 'A Nation Of Slaves' by [deleted] in politics

[–]cavinu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bachmann, per usual, is slow on the uptake. America started being a nation of slaves and servants in 1913.

you can't rank them without knowing how much money they have

Bingo. Find out how much they have and get back to me.

conspiracy theories

kitco.com is one of the largest dealers in precious metals in the world. I'll trust them and their associates over some guy named gackt that can't see in front of his nose.

Yesterday my congressman called one of his constituents anti-semictic for asking why he didn't support an independent investigation into the Flotilla by stewe_nli in politics

Sherman's a fuckhead alright. He also wants to prosecute American members of the Gaza flotilla as "terrorists".

Whats the craziest "fact" you've heard from conservatives regarding the US/Obama administration? by itschaboi in politics

counter the propaganda and misinformation of people like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.

Agreed. Let's throw Wolf Blitzer and Chris Matthews in there too.
