Feel free to give up your rights at every opportunity. I want mine. If you are too stupid to realize where this country is headed then you obviously don't need yours. Let me guess, you're probably one of those who actually believe everything you hear from "officials" or television right? You saw it on the news so it must be true. God help us... This country has really gone to hell.

When my wife and I go downtown we are not scared of some "terrorist". I don't believe some guy hiding out in a cave attacked this country. Not without a lot of help. I don't worry about crackheads behind every tree like the media says. I see them everyday. The only thing that scares us is an encounter with the assholes wearing a badge.

I have witnessed over 40 years of encounters between citizens and our public's "finest". (What a joke.) Yes, I do lump ALL of them together. Sleep with a dog wake up with fleas. Many of us have witnessed instances where one cop, who might have been a decent person, stood by while another cop blatantly abused their authority. Did they speak up? Did they attempt to intervene? Did they "Serve & Protect"?? Never! Not in one single instance that I have ever witnessed.

Solve crimes you said?? It is almost impossible for a crime to be solved by the police unless you have left very specific evidence behind. Despite what you see on C.S.I., most arrests and convictions come courtesy of friends, neighbors or family. Someone has told them where to look. They are called witnesses, informants or snitches. It is NOT good police work. I guarantee that if someone steals a kids bicycle off of my back porch it will NEVER be recovered unless that thief "brags" about their actions. THINK about it!! How could they possibly find it? You expecting fingerprints, DNA, semen samples, etc..?? Get real.

I have been robbed before. Courtesy of the U.S. Border Patrol. Bless their souls. You are aware of the corruption problems within that agency aren't you? Earlier in my life, when I still believed that the police were there to help us, there were a few instances where myself or family members have had occasion to call on our brave "finest". In every instance, without fail, it was:
A: a complete waste of time to call them or
B: they simply showed up and make things worse.

Calling the police now will be the last thing I would EVER do. I take it upon myself to secure my property. If something happens to get stolen then I blame myself for not securing it properly. This has proven to be a much better system for me.

I am also a firm believer in guns. Trust me, if you kick my door in I am not running to dial 911. I am running for my Mossberg 500. We will call 911 to come and clean up the mess. Do you really believe that the police are there to protect you? How can they protect a citizen from something like that? Are they mind-readers who know to show up at the moment that you raise your foot to kick my door? Only a complete and utter fool would rely on an "authorized" individual for personal protection.

I don't want you digging through my glove-box or rifling through the papers in my desk so why would I want to allow them the privilege? It has nothing to do with me wanting to hide anything. They are welcome to "solve crime" on your time, not mine.

The bottom line is that it is NOT your business and it is NOT their business to investigate me without cause. If they want to go fishing I would happily direct them to your pond.

Now, "Am I free to go?"
