"It reminded me of two bulldogs attacking a little dog.If that was my father being assaulted, I promise I would not be standing there "watching in disbelief."
"They chocked him down to the ground with their arm around his throat where he had trouble getting his breath, and then they handcuffed him and held him there."
"Now this is a 68-year-old farmer in knee-boots who had been up most of the night and who wasn't going to hurt a fly. His ancestors had settled the land he now lived on and he's a well respected member of the Oakville community. To see him being tackled and handcuffed and treated like this was humiliating, just sickening."

His papers were not in order.
Well, they were in order, just not on him.
I have an idea for two really realistic scarecrows. Trouble is, they'd attract buzzards.
After 9/11 people don't sit quietly and do as hijackers tell them, they get up and mob them and kick the crap out of them.
If law enforcement agencies doon't put some chokechains on their attack dogs real quick, well, a mad dog is a mad dog.
The first mistake he made was disagreeing with them. They are our Gods and we must get on our knees and do as they say. Which is how they see it. We are stupid sheep and must obey them and anything they say. He should have said yes sir officer I'll move my truck right now but please understand I'm so and so and I'm just inspection the banks which is my job. He may have got more distance with them that way. Anytime a person willingly disagrees with a cop they are a direct challenge to the cops power and they will teach anyone a thing or two. Knowing they can do whatever they want and get away with it.
The big problem in the midwest its not out west because out west the son would have been armed and so would the others standing around. Things would have not got to that point. I don't know why midwest people are so willing to allow themselves to be subject to such large government.
If that had been MY father, someone would have ....been seriously injured!

Farm subsidies?
Well, I haven't carried in years, but I suppose I will start again. Funny thing that, I used to carry because of the criminal element, and their ferocity against anyone they thought was at a disadvantage, in places I had no choice but to be. NOw I am considering it because of law enforcement personnel who are more dangerous than those criminals I determined were a danger to me. And they are more violence prone and ferocious in its application because, unlike the non sanctioned criminal they need not worry about consequences should they be discovered doing what they shouldn't.
It's too damn bad those boys didn't go back to the Sheriff's office in body bags. Just like the man said "Better safe than sorry." Our safety is threatened by these thugs is uniform. Better safe than sorry.
"If you don't submit, we will taser you!'" *pant, pant*
Nothing gets a cop worked up more than getting to taze someone, especially the old and frail.
The witnesses should not have turned back the Christian ladies in the approaching car; This kind of brutality needs to be given maximum exposure, and Church is a great place to start.
Once enough law-abiding folks figure out this can (and eventually WILL) happen to THEM, they will begin to see, and hopefully take action.
"Brader said that Sheriff Mike Johnstone was told of the incident and he heard his response was merely: "Better safe than sorry.'"
Nice quote! When is the "good" Sheriff up for re-election? The quote and picture ought to make a nice mailer for the opposition come election time.....
...and when I suggest it's better to stop arguing and simply shoot the bastards, I am told that I'm an extremist or an internet tough guy...
"It is the mission of the Des Moines County Sheriff's Office to provide safe and efficient service to the citizens of this community in a dedicated and blah blah blah..."
Liars, too.
"Better safe than sorry" applies to seatbelts, travel insurance, flossing and condoms. Attacking a citizen who's where he is supposed to be for merely talking to you... that's not safe. Not for much longer.
The Steffey woman case, Officer Urbina in the DC airport, the Utah ticket tasering... all "according to procedure, no one's rights were violated."
Now every time I see a traffic stop, I wonder.
He looks like such a nice guy, too.
UNDERSTANDING
We will enforce all laws and ordinances, affording respect and understanding to all persons, while safeguarding individual's rights that are guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.
SERVICE
We hold ourselves to maintain the highest degree of service, to obey all laws and ordinances, and **to serve as role models to our fellow officers and community. **
There ya go...
Oh, forgot the FEMA guy just up the road in Cedar Rapids. "Bumper."
Peter, I don't think you are an extremist. I think the accomodaters are the extremists. No tyranny has ever come into being without them.
The only legitimate reason for not killing these bastards would be that the witnesses were unarmed. Otherwise, no excuse.
Iowa isn't the top state for subsidies, but a close second:
From ewg.org
Top States: Half of All Subsidies to Just Nine States
Texas emerges as the top beneficiary of farm subsidies over the last 12 years, collecting over $16.2 billion. It is followed by Iowa ($15.9 billion), Illinois ($13.2 billion), Nebaraska ($10.4 billion) and Minnesota ($10.2 billion). Five states accounted for over one-third of all subsidy payments, and half of the subsidies were absorbed by 9 states, all in the Midwest, South or Great Plains regions.
Most people I know have the "bread and circus" mentality. I showed the JPFO video "Innocents Betrayed" a few years ago in a local church and three people showed up. The comments were "It won't happen here."
They don't call us "Idiots Out Wandering Around" for no reason.
I've known Sandy Hedges for years and he's one of the good guys. I hope he fights this in the courts.
