Reply to comment by archiotterpup in '#teamsendthemback': Private emails reveal cozy relationship, cooperation between NYC correction officers and ICE by mowotlarx

Really? Cuz I can walk down the block to my local precinct and scream “fuck the police” until my face turns blue and nothing will happen to me cuz I’m not breaking a law

Cuz we live in the USA where we have the freedom to do that

You say that, but that's not always true. The police in Georgia executed an anti-police activist because they didn't like him, the Buffalo police killed an old man for protesting, it's not like eveeyone who does nothing wrong except annoy the police gets off unscathed.

And that event was followed by a decade of litigation, people losing their jobs, and multi million dollar payouts from the city. Not saying this is justice to make up for that atrocity by any means. But do you think any of this is happening in actual police states?

What I’m saying is that since then the same thing has been more prevalent throughout the country as a whole. Just because it’s drizzling doesn’t mean it’s not raining. A police state can definitely be a thing in the United States given enough time and “good intentions”.

Getting killed for a “petty crime” is the definition of a police state. Dingleberry.

He wasn’t intentionally killed. The state did not sanction an execution

You should join your local libertarian chapter to work towards reducing State control over our daily lives
