Is the ongoing Surge of Police State in America a Surge of Karma?

[enhanced_deficit]

Ongoing Surge of Police State in America has any relation to 80% of Americans supporting invasion of Iraq based on lies and then electing another dubious politician who surged war policies that resulted in surge of civilian deaths/raids on homes of people occupied with funding from American taxpayers?

Why do police departments need military vehicles and weapons?



(Photo: Pool photo by Mark Wilson)
Story Highlights

• The Roanoke Rapids Police Department acquired some Humvees and MRAPs from the Pentagon.
• In the last several months, many small towns have acquired MRAPs from U.S. war zones.
• Is this the country we want to live in?

Something potentially sinister is happening across America, and we should stop and take notice before it changes the character of our country forever. County, city and small-town police departments across the country are now acquiring free military-grade weapons that could possibly be used against the very citizens and taxpayers that not only fund their departments but who the police are charged with protecting.

Recently in a small, sleepy North Carolina town of roughly 16,000 people, the Roanoke Rapids Police Department acquired some Humvees and Mine-Resistant, Ambush-Protected vehicles (or MRAPs), which it proudly displayed at a recent car show. Roanoke Rapids got them free from the Pentagon, returned from our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The town's police chief, Tommy Hathaway, noted, perhaps unintentionally, the misuse of this equipment on America's main streets, saying that "its intended purpose is to prevent mass casualties and to extricate people," but that hopefully Roanoke Rapids will never need it.
Next door, in South Carolina, the Columbia Police Department also received a free MRAP from the Pentagon, which otherwise would have cost Columbia nearly $700,000 (though the city is responsible for all repairs and upkeep going forward). Their interim police chief, Ruben Santiago, justified the acquisition saying that the MRAP "will be a barrier between the public and a hostile person or situation such as a barricaded suspect with weapons who may be threatening someone's life." We are quickly redefining what a rational response to a security threat looks like.

Duh!

Thank you.

In increasing cases, it is a literal connection.




Unarmed Man Killed By NYPD, Was National Guardsman

Victim was a guardsman and detective who shot him was a former marine..

Americas main export is freedom via bombs and our main import in tyranny via fear.

That is dangerously blunt statement about our freeedom import/export business.

When the subject is karma, I can't submit to being part of "we". There doesn't seem to be such a thing as karma.

There seems to be both karma and injustices in this world.. perhaps that is why concept of "life hereafter" fits universally in human psyche.

For example, little children killed by SWC drone kings "smart missiles" could have done nothing wrong.

[h=1]Richard Clarke: Potential for American ‘police state’ created by NSA[/h]

A former cybersecurity adviser to President George W. Bush fears that the NSA has created the “potential for a police state” to emerge in the United States.

“In terms of collecting intelligence, they are very good. Far better than you could imagine,” Richard Clarke said Monday in San Fransisco while speaking at the the Cloud Security Alliance Summit, Search Security reported.

“But they have created, with the growth of technologies, the potential for a police state,” said Mr. Clarke, a member of President Obama’s Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technology.
Mr. Clarke, speaking about a 2013 report on data collection by government agencies that he was involved in, went on to note that much of the blame can be placed at the feet of policymakers who have failed to ask tough questions about what the NSA is doing and to lay out very specific ground rules.

...Because Karma is a collectivist?

If they didn't want to get smart missiled, they should have moved. Where's that warzone quote when I need it?

 

[DamianTV]

I cant exactly call it Karma as much as an inevitable result of creating Tools of Oppression.

Pope today should have refused to meet disgraced droneking unless it was for a confession.

We don't have enough neocons around here to keep such quotes fresh.

Not exactly Karma, true .. but there are traces of collective punishment.

 

[Christian Liberty]

Karma is a satanic lie. No, it is not "karma" that causes these events. That would be absurd especially since the 20% that don't support this type of aggression are the ones who suffer the most under the police state. Most of the 80% are fine with it because they don't get it.

Mind you, I'm not saying there is no connection. There is a connection. Aggression overseas does naturally lead to more government at home. But this is simply a logical truth, not some kind of cosmic justice.

Indeed, in reality, criminals frequently get away with what they do in this life, especially government criminals. And the legalistically innocent (non-aggressors) are frequently forced to suffer in this world by these criminals.

Divine justice goes BEYOND this life. Every single sin is paid for exactly one time. It was either borne by Christ on the cross, or it is borne by the sinner for all eternity in Hell. Sins are NOT atoned for by mortals during earthly life, ever.

Karma? Nah. This is Humanity...you're just a misfit.

Not Worth It: Huge Majority Regret Iraq War, Exclusive Poll Shows

By Carrie Dann A divided nation finally agrees on something overwhelmingly: the war in Iraq was simply not worth fighting.
Seventy-one percent of Americans now say that the war in Iraq “wasn’t worth it,” a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Annenberg poll shows, with skepticism about the lengthy war effort up substantially even in the last 18 months.

Just 22 percent now believe the 2003 war effort was worthwhile.

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll earlier this month showed that 27 percent of respondents said the Afghan conflict was worth it, versus 65 percent who disagreed. Negativity about Iraq appears to rival that of the Vietnam War; three Gallup polls conducted from 1999-2000 found that about 7 in 10 Americans believe that 1970s war was a “mistake.”

The poll of 1,383 voters, conducted June 16 to June 22, has a margin of error of +/- 3.27.

Karma is cause and effect, mixed with intent. We certainly are seeing it in action.

Dhammapada -
"All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage. "

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him."

" For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time: hatred ceases by love, this is an eternal rule."
