The police are drones; they do what they are told. When my local police start cracking down on the hoards of illegals, and learn what extortion means - well that will be a start.
No, I had four police officers ready to kick my ass last evening for protesting at a Red Light Camera intersection because wearing a Guy Fawkes (V for Vendetta) mask was considered "potential terrorism."
I was very compliant with their orders, while still asserting my dignity as a Citizen of the United States, which led to some fierce (although respectful sort-of) exchanges (initially), but in the end we resolved it peacefully and agreed that Red Light Cameras sucked.
However, they were under orders from very high up to remove me from the intersection. They told me that I had to remove the mask, but I could put in on momentarily every now and then, and then take it off for theatrics. Then they left.
About an hour later one of the same officers returned and told me that I absolutely had to leave for "impeding traffic," and he was sorry, but he had orders. He confiscated my flag, but not the mask...?....?....? and I left.
I suppose they knew that taking the flag would make me leave, because simply wearing a mask with a sign would look retarded, and it worked, so I left.
Anyway, I went back to the precinct this afternoon, to inquire as what exactly happened, and to retrieve my flag, and the Sergeant also sympathized with the general cause and said "I can see where this country is headed." I suppose that is the best he can say without jeopardizing his own job. Obviously the orders to remove me came from higher up than the precinct. The Sheriff Offices also expedited the release of the records of the transactions from the Central Records Office, and knowing that our Sheriff has VOWED to nullify any new federal gun laws, I highly doubt that the order came from the Sheriff's Office.
Make a long story short, these guys are just like you and me, except they are even more aware and astute as to the direction that this nation is headed, because they are the ones being tasked with enforcing this tyranny.
Let them know that we care about our Liberties. Someone from the Libertarian party told me:
"That's what the Oathkeepers are trying to do."
and I responded:
"We need regular citizens to do it also, otherwise what's their motivation to restore Popular Sovereignty if the general population is indifferent?"
