Securing the Blessings in Little Rock

What makes the case especially egregious is not that the police may have gotten the wrong home, that they shot a man, or that they were covering it up or going silent. We’ve seen all that before. What’s mind-blowing about this one is that they’ve continued abusing the poor guy, even after it should have been clear for some time now that they made a mistake.
Because the purpose of our government is "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity."

The War on Drugs is the War on America. Bad cops with bad warrants, bad judges, bad lawyers and GAG ORDERS to keep tales from getting out. Multiple Amendments at once.
I'd much rather have a house FULL of dope dealers next door than have these cops in my neighborhood or anywhere. There's less chance of someone getting hurt.

The RICO statutes should be applicable here. A U.S. Attorney should already have seized all the assets of the officers,and judge involved in any capacity. They should be charged with under the RICO statutes and put in federal prison.

Since this won't happen, these assholes will end up getting the war they have started but are too chickenshit to declare openly. Don't know how long it will take, but it will happen. Even the most cowardly become exhausted of fear and fight back after their system will not accomodate any more fear,because it has been supplanted by anger.

In Mr. Ingles current condition he probably cannot take extra-legal recourse, but were it me, I would be trying.

The little punk down the street apparently got the police called on him again the other day. This neighborhood is in decline. Last time they took him away for holding his girlfriend at gunpoint. I'd hate to think he was out already, but that's how it goes.
They were walking back to their car parked near my house when I pulled in, home from work. I smiled and waved. Then I went in the house, saw they were still hanging around, and made sure the AR was in condition ready. A shame, really, to have to think that way.
But I won't hesitate, if they make it necessary. I have a telephone and a doorbell. Most people do. Failure to use them will make us gentlemen and ladies forget our manners, too.

There is no greater enemy of human liberty than government, as Hitler's Third Reich, Mao's Peoples' Republic, and Stalin's Union of Soviet States have proved. And, oh yes, let us not forget the United States, ruled by mafia organizations, such as the ATF and DEA.

David, I meant to mention this when this was fresh, but in my dotage it slipped my mind.

N.Little Rock is a separate city from Little Rock. Hence, the article's title is not exactly accurate. Sorry for the delay. I am old, you know.
