Crimes Against Society: America's Movement Towards a Police State

[spartakos]

Dear God in Heaven, I am about ready to disband all law enforcement in America. I wish that was a joke. But I am now entertaining serious, serious thoughts about whether organized law enforcement is a net good to society.

I found it rather fascinating that I didn't hear or read anything about this in the MSM, but stumbled across it in a blog where I'd been reading up on something else. It's like my mind can't quite process the situation, because I can't grasp how it happened. Sure, logically I can follow the chain of events, but I can't figure out the why.

The big why, as this post (I suck with links, so I'll just put it here: http://www.racialicious.com/2010/05/27/the-lady-is-a-tramp-aiyana-stanley-jones-at-the-altar-of-the-media/#more-8194) points out, has to do with the cameras rolling with the squad. We all know people do asinine things when cameras are rolling for them to be on tv; why would the police be any different? Why are we encouraging them to be Johny Wayne, or Chuck Norris, or any other overworn movie trope?
