A Snapshot of Police State Amerika: Wishing Death on the Child of an Uppity Mundane?
http://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog...hing-death-on-the-child-of-an-uppity-mundane/
William Norman Girgg (26 June 2014)

A Chicago resident and member of the productive sector was detained without cause or explanation for interrogation by two armed emissaries of the parasite class. The transparent purpose of this stop was to create a pretext for a search of the vehicle, most likely in the hope of finding something that would justify an arrest or confiscation of money or other valuables.

The driver, who was in the company of his nine-year-old child, was polite, providing his license and associated information, but refused to answer questions or roll down his window far enough to allow a search of the vehicle. Exercising commendable self-restraint, he refused to be baited by an obviously antagonistic police officer who was uncooperative when the citizen requested his name and badge number. The officer briefly tried to pretend that the driver’s child wasn’t legally allowed to sit in the front seat, but that pretense withered immediately when the driver pointed out that his daughter is nine years old.

Eventually the driver was told that he was stopped because of a “shots fired” call.

“And I fit the description, right?” the exasperated driver sarcastically replied.

“You’re unreal,” sneered the cop.

“Yeah, I know,” the frustrated citizen rejoined. “Gotta show my papers and all that other stuff, yeah…. I’m a law-abiding citizen.”

“Proud of you,” mocked one of the costumed functionaries. “Thanks for coming out tonight.” The conversation continues for about another minute, with the cop trying to justify the stop as an effort to deal with gun violence.

“I don’t care about those things,” the driver states.

“You have a child in the car, and you don’t care about those things?” the officer persists.

“That’s why I conceal-carry,” the driver concludes. “I don’t care about those things.”

“Hopefully your child –” at that point, the officer either says “does” — meaning that she cares about gun violence — or “dies” — meaning that the uppity Mundane would be punished for his defiant attitude.

The conversation continued for about a minute longer, ending with a malicious benediction from the cop’s tax-devouring maw: “Hopefully your child dies.”

Keep it up assholes, keep it up...

There are two types of people this happens to.

The first type, which cooperates fully, ends up getting a roadside cavity search and a summons for having the wrong bird feather or some other nonsense, and ends up still thanking the cop.

The second type, which knows the score beforehand, and only talks to the cop through a cracked window.

The inherent problem is that nobody in the first group ever ends up in the second group.

Even that 9-year-old was already going to be in the second group.

Not 100% accurate. I used to be in the first camp. When I was 18 (mid 1990s) a trooper pulled me over for expired tabs and said she smelled marajuana (never touched it). She cuffed me and put me in the back of her squad car while she searched the thing for a good 5-10 minutes. At the time I was thinking "Oh this is a good cop...just making sure I'm not a trouble maker. I don't have anything to worry about because I don't do drugs." Now there is no way in hell that I would allow that to happen. I'm firmly in the 2nd camp. My eyes are open.

I agree. What we need is more people switching from the first camp to the second camp. It can and must happen. I firmly believe that, if everyone knew their rights and exercised them to their fullest extent and didn't back down, it would make the police state impractical.
