Good thread!
I just had to chime in, about the 'evolution' of police authority.
In the late 70's, as I started to (legally) drive, and subsequently get
pulled over for road-shenannigans, the cops were known, familiar guys
from the neighborhood, with personalities. And no more equipped than
us. But friendly and caring.
Now they're armored robots with machine guns & tasers & 12 ga. bean
bags, ready to use force at the twitch of an eye! Especially on types like
me, who are known to question au6th6or6ity quite aggressively!
The police state has crept in all around lately, in my opinion!
So I am very encouraged by people here at Above Top Secret, who seem
to question au6th6or6ity; especially those who "know how to do things to
make tanks and armored personnel carriers less effective!"
Rock on, Damacles!
