oNE UNARMED 64 yrs old senior, why would you assume this is Justifiable in any way ?

Sephiroth Im glad to see not everyone is in total bliss

Answer 1

yeah that sucked but we're not at a police state yet. Just on our way there. When bush declares emergency powers in 2009 to continue the war effort we're screwed.

with the growing threats against us and the administartions refusal to talk to the world unless they do as we say we will lose many ties and any hopes at peaceful persuasion with places like N korea and these lackys will sign it all away to bush's moral crusade.

Answer 2

I agree to a point! I think its very sad when your own government listens to its citizens phone calls. There is no need to screen calls unless you have a suspect and a warrant.

The sad part is George Bush is a Republican and I cant believe Republicans would allow government into the private lives of its citizens for any reason. Isn't that a core Republican value is to keep government out of peoples everyday life.

Dont give that crap that its for our safety when we still dont look at half of the shipping containers that come in to port and have waited this long to talk about securing our borders!!!!

Vote Demo -in- 2006

Answer 3

You have corruption in a system without the system being corrupt.

These men should be tried and found guilty. It apears that the man said something to upset the officers, and it resulted in blows from a police officer, and when he tried to defend himself it ended with a dog pile.

Freedom is only lost when there is no chance of this going to trial.

It is sickening.

Answer 4

well hell yeh it is a police state, example 1 i must be able to show an I.D. if im asked by the police.(your papers please).
watching the news makes me sick, how rights are trampled upon on baseless speculation and assumption.
example 2 very very very few cops ever stand a trial after killing someone,let alone ever get convicted.
example 3 me,,,,,,,,,,i hate cops they are smug asses who are above the law, can kill u and get away with it and dont doubt that for a minute.and although not all cops are mean bullies, they are all cops and they'll stick up for a cop over you any day. so.........yeh were in a police state.

Answer 5

I don't know what you are talking about. I know many people and none of them feel that we are in a police state. What freedoms have we lost? Get real. We have more ffreedoms here that any other country. We may not be perfect - but I don't know of any place that is better.

Answer 6

Wanna know what a Police State is really like?

Go live in North Korea for a year and you'll be begging to come back to America.

Answer 7

Yes, oh paranoid one, we have lost freedoms under the guise of safety and protection from various threats. But that's what happens when the normals become fearful due to watching all of the propaganda on TV or reading it in the newspapers. They get convinced that the media created boogie man is gonna get them, and they cry to the powers that be, who in turn inpliment various safety measures that prevent us from doing or having certan things that they deem threatening to self or others, and justify it based on past events in history. But what are you gonna do?

Answer 8

I don't think most of us feel that way. Some people do and it is ridiculous. If you ever had to live in a communist country or Saddam as your leader you would truly know life without freedom.
Before we went to Iraq...WOMEN COULD NOT VOTE, or GO TO SCHOOL! That is a life without freedom.

We as Americans have freedom! Saying we don't is an insult to the men and women who died for us to have it.

Answer 9

I guess you ought to start with those who truly have lost their freedoms (or never had them) and truly live in a police state....start with Iraq, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Philippines and go from there....see what kind of freedoms other countries have and compare them to ours....we've got more freedoms than we know what to do with and like spoiled little children its never enough.

Answer 10

I think we are too free. Women need to cover up, teens need to stop having sex, and we need to be a more-moral society. Close down the abortion clinics and put Planned Parenthood out of business.
