Don't Taze Me, Bro! or Three Steps Closer To Anarchy

As most people already know, we were all witness to a violation of a persons civil right to free speech when the police at The University of Florida assaulted, subdued and ultimately tasered a student during John Kerry's visit there. It doesn't matter that he was annoying or asked inconvenient questions, he was invited to and did not break any laws. The police reaction was way over the top. As a shout out to conspiracy theorists everywhere, look at the You-Tube video. To the right of the student asking questions you can see the cops and a guy in a black suit looking to the back of the room repeatedly as he speaks. As soon as he asks the question about Kerry's membership in Skull and Bones, the same secret society at Yale that the Bush family and many CIA employees have belonged to, the black suit makes a chopping gesture across his throat and the cops step in. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.
Finally though, the scariest thing about this incident isn't the police over-reaction or the screams of the guy getting tasered. It is the complete indifference of the people within 10 to 20 feet of the incident. Other than a few people taking pictures with cell-phones or video cameras, no one stepped forward to say anything to the police, no one intervened.
When you couple that with the press being absolutely silent about the transfer of nukes from an air force base in North Dakota to the base in Louisiana that we bomb the middle east from, one does have to take a moment to think about what is happening here. Why is the press also silent about the Israeli bombing in Syria? Were there North Korean nukes there or not? Was that the final destination of the North Dakota nukes?
The silence is also pretty deafening about Fox censoring Sally Fields remarks at the Emmy's. While a Fox censor might mistakenly think that "God-Damn" is censorable, it isn't. Then continuing the black out through her comments on the war is unacceptable, although not unexpected by Fox.
If we can't count on our fellow citizens and the media to help protect our constitutional rights, we are in a world of trouble. All I know is, I am going to get a sweat-shirt made up that says "Don't taze me, Bro!" and hope the cops have a sense of humor at the next peace rally I attend.
