I have spent many years writing and railing against the police state with far more competent observers like William Grigg providing a veritable cornucopia of evidence showing why police and American policing is an existential threat to any individual liberty it gets near.

Here and now, the police authorities in the US pose a similar threat to individual liberty that the British military regulars did in North America before 1775. The "redcoats" are now bluecoats.

These are the Jacobin vanguard and the Communard revolutionaries in new garb. When some of the National Socialists held their heads in shame at the conclusion of the War to Save Josef Stalin to proclaim that "orders were orders" did not necessarily absolve the dishonor of what they had visited on their countrymen; this same notion is the instant response by any serving cop in America.
