well hopefully this trend continues and freedom of religion gets limited. Too many cults are running wild because of the protection they get from the state, it's absolutely disgusting.

Well, since the FBI was monitoring Raimondo and doesn't seem to respect the press, and it also monitored the transactions of anyone who sent a contribution to antiwar.com. Does that make me think of a police state? Yes, it does. Big brother is watching you, make no mistake about it.

DC cops lift paraplegic out of his wheelchair to smash his face to the ground busing open his head.

He lived on the block where it happened.

Cops pepper spray peaceful protesters.

Cops held open the mouth of one student and sprayed him directly down his throat causing him to vomit blood for the next 45 minutes.

Must it happen to you before you wake up?

He can't live on that block since there are no apartments or houses on that block (it's right in front of the metro station I take to work every day). Not excusing the police in the video but yeah, the woman who said that is wrong or just meant he's a homeless dude that camps out there all the time.

YES!

It is government of the rich, by the rich for the rich or something like that. The rest can be mowed down for all they care.

Yeah, maybe she literally meant he lives on the sidewalk on that block, but thanks for the first-hand clarification.

Absolutely.

Not quite 1984 there yet, but getting very close, like 1982 at least...

Are Americans in Line for Gitmo?

Though the 9/11 attacks occurred more than a decade ago, Congress continues to exploit them to pass evermore draconian laws on �terrorism,� with the Senate now empowering the military to arrest people on U.S. soil and hold them without trial, a serious threat to American liberties

Why is the NYPD After Me?

Quote:
WHEN I was 14, my mother told me not to panic if a police officer stopped me. And she cautioned me to carry ID and never run away from the police or I could be shot. In the nine years since my mother gave me this advice, I have had numerous occasions to consider her wisdom.

This thread can be ended, as we now have the answer to the OP: with the signing in to law of the National Defense Authorization Act, there is no more doubt about the police state, as now Americans on US soil can be taken into military custody and held indefinitely without charge, trial, nor attorney.

Presidential Frontrunner Warns Martial Law Being Established in America

Leading GOP candidate Ron Paul has warned in recent interviews that the amendments passed in the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) are not only dangerous, but authorize the establishment of total martial law inside the United States.
