One Month Later

Watertown, MA

It has been a little over a month since I last updated DeKalb Police State.  After the Boston Bombing caused a complete police state take over of Watertown, Massachusetts, I considered for a moment the idea that since the take over is here, what sense did it make for me to call attention to myself for speaking out against it?

Oakland, CA

Ten days after the Boston Bombing police in Oakland, California decided to shut down a lower income neighborhood in order to conduct searches for illegal guns and wanted persons. Any innocent civilians in the neighborhood just had to endure the lock down in order to bring a few people to "justice."

Less than two weeks later in Cotati, California, police were responding to a domestic disturbance call.  When they arrived at the home, both husband and wife claimed everything to be fine and that their children were playing in the yard.  When the couple would not allow police to enter the home, officers proceeded to bust in the door and taser the man.  They then arrested him for... not allowing police to enter his home without a warrant?

California is really keeping it classy in 2013.  On May 13th in Kern County local police beat a man to death with their batons as he pleaded for his life.  They then went on to confiscate the video footage that local residence took as they awoke in the middle of the night to screams of bloody murder.

And those are just the highlights.  With what follows I could not continue to ignore these atrocities and if writing this blog reaches anyone at all it contributes more than just staying silent.

In Concord, Califronia police killed a man fleeing from suspected drug related charges.

A high school student in Minnesota was maced *and* tasered by two police officers.

Texas cops order woman to ID herself at her own front door.

Meanwhile in San Antonio, Texas police beat a woman,and then threaten her brother for trying to record it.

All the way up in Kodiak, Alaska troops shoved and arrested a woman who demanded they leave her property.

In Richmond County, Georgia a man was arrested for not rolling his window all the way down.

Then there's the 20 year old "rapper" from Methuen, Massachusetts whose lyrics could land him in prison for 20 years.

Another incident involving a slightly more realistic rapper in Fayetteville, North Carolina had an under cover cop arrest the man for not allowing him to smell his Arizona Iced Tea.

What a month, we'll end things on a bright note though with young citizen Jeremy here who questions an officer on his choice to park on a side walk when there was no emergency.
