We're the Only Ones Elite and Special Enough

A Chicago police officer who was already in legal trouble was arrested Wednesday on federal charges for allegedly planning the murder-for-hire of a former fellow police officer.

...Finnigan was assigned to the elite Special Operations Section of the Chicago Police Department. He was one of six members of that unit arrested in 2006 for allegedly using their badges to shake down residents for cash and other items. He was suspended from the force after state charges were filed in that case.
Bummer. There goes his eligibility for professional courtesy. Meanwhile, Chicagoans "Snuffy" Pfleger and Laura Washington are working hard to make sure Daley's "Only Ones" continue to enjoy an elite and special monopoly of force--while working to expand that condition state and nationwide. The result, of course, would leave "ordinary citizens" (that would be you and me) at the mercy of the Finnigans of the world, not to mention the feral, enabled offspring of witless pawns-for-the-police-state mothers. All in the name of humanity, mind you.

It feels like the majority of our country's population (or at least the media) are becoming dependent on government and less reliant on themselves (for anything, it seems). Huge opportunity for the police state to fill that void of responsibility.

If you're a petty tryant, it's a great opportunity to get a badge and some privilege, if you like to lead your own life and be left alone, you're shit out of luck.

At my house if they interfere with me living my life and won't leave me alone, they are the ones shit out of luck.

It doesn't end when they say. It ends when I say or win or die.

And I will insist on taking company along for the dark journey.

Hey look, now they're not only the Only Ones elite and special enough, but the Only Ones covered up enough, as well.
