I've been put in jail over bs charges, resisting without violence. For the past year or so I was telling myself it was partially my fault because I went out drinking. I know now that where I was the bouncers and police get a kick out of harassing drunk people, using fight words and threats to get a reaction so they can arrest people. This took place in Jacksonville Beach, Fl at the Brix and continues to go on there as a warning to anyone who may go there. I should have fought the case but is was easier to take a play and pay the $300+ fine(not couting the money that was stolen from my wallet when I was booked).

Recently my parents were arrested on frivilous charges and brutalized by the police in their own home(that is call I can release due to a gag order and a pending case). My parents have never been in trouble with the law and are now facing serious charges. I used to think America could be saved and an intellectual revolution would take place. I no longer believe in that fantasy. America is a POLICE STATE, and while there are many LEO's who do their job there a too many who abuse their power and get away with it. The corruption in the police forces is the tip of the iceberg as far as what is wrong with our legal system.

I am starting to believe the US has become an idiocracy with the masses hypnotized by what the watch on TV and they will never wake up as long as the TPTB controls the propaganda that is fed to the sheeple. Maybe Oprah will decide to give them all the finger and do shows on what is wrong with this country.

America needs another revolution but I seriously doubt it will ever happen. The few who are not afraid to stand up and say what is wrong quickly get silenced. April 22 2010 was the day I realized the United States of America was no longer For the People and By the People and that new birth of freedom that Lincon talked about has perished from this Earth.
