The police are abusive and tend to enforce their brand of Christian morality, especially in Midwestern states like Ohio. The role of “godly” police, detectives, and federal agents is twofold. The first role they fulfill is to keep the ignorant cattle in line. The second role they fulfill is to provide models of “Christian morality”. When I was intervened by police detective and BATF agent (as part of a plot to frame me for a bomb plot), I noticed that they carried themselves in a very arrogant way. During the interview I realized that I was vied as the scum prison cattle and these two men viewed themselves as “Godly” morally superior men. Detectives and other members of “law enforcement” routinely bully and intimidate the citizen trash prison cattle (you and I) to gain false confessions.

Clearly the attack on civil liberties is a more than relevant and crucial topic. I can already find quips of events to get riled up about with a simple google search. I have come to respect the intelligent dialog on the site and the way these types of issues are 'processed'. I did not see any processing here, only reporting. I honor that breaching a subject is an important part of opening the floor to conversation, but I was really hoping for more of an opener and not just an in-your-face video. More the way it was handled, not the topic at hand. Because it is such a loaded issue, it seemed a careless way to bring it up. I am not suggesting that police brutality is not relevant.

But far too many people seem to either (1) side with those beating people and worse or (2) deny that it happens to anyone (3) deny that it happens to peaceful people or (4) do not imagine that it can happen to them. It happened to me and it changed my whole perspective on power. It isn't irrelevant. It is the boiled-down essence of what is relevant in politics.

It happened to me and it changed my whole perspective on power.

It isn’t irrelevant. It is the boiled-down essence of what is relevant in politics.
