Each and every day the police give citizens more reasons to think that they are part of a useless profession which is around solely to harass and intimidate people. This latest story comes out of England, but I could not ignore it. The police state is a world wide problem, America just so happens to be the land I was born in and spend the most time trying to defend from tyranny. However with the world so interconnected it is impossible to ignore stories from abroad.
This particular tale depicts officers stealing the last possession of homeless people sleeping on the street. The cops participated in a late night raid in which they stole their sleeping bags and food parcels that were donated by good samaritans.
Ilford Recorder explains the situation as such:
Adam Jaskowiak was one of the men targeted and said he pleaded with police to be able to keep his things but was ignored.
He was sleeping with eight other people finding shelter for the night in the former Ilford Baths in High Road, Ilford.
All of their belongings were bundled into a police car leaving the men, one in his 60s, stunned.
They go on to report:
But Mr Jaskowiak, 34, said: “They were just taking the sleeping bags and chucking out everything. I asked to keep it and the food, but they said ‘no’.
“I just grabbed as many of my things as possible and put them into a bag and ran.”
Talk about the complete opposite of serving the public and helping those in need. I guess someone could argue that if these people are not working they are not paying taxes so therefore not supporting the police monetarily. However I was not aware that the only people that could get the help of police officers were tax payers, I thought they were here to protect people, period. Have the police truly become a paid service only working for the rich?
What good does stealing the meager possession of a handful of homeless people do? Does anyone actually think this will get them off the street, as if they made a choice to be homeless? Why are cops allowed to steal from people? Who gave this order and under what rule of law was it deemed proper? If there is a law that states something regarding having sleeping bags and food outdoors, it is a horrendous rule that middle class yuppies allowed to be put in to place because they have no empathy or regard for people they deem lesser than them.

Then we wonder why the world elite treat us like insects to be controlled and manipulated. They see us in the same manner many middle class folks see the homeless. So welcome to the new world order, one in which people who make $30,000 a year hate those who do not work and live on the streets, those who make $100,000 a year hate those who need welfare to help supplement their meager income, those who make a million a year scoff at lowly execs with 6 figure incomes and lastly the mega billionaires piss on us all.
