I read a definition of a “police state” yesterday that really bothered me. Someone said that a police state is a place where the police have the power to arrest anyone for anything at any time. My very first thought was, “Welcome to America.” In case you didn’t know, you can be arrested by any policeman at any time, and the policemen will not ever be held accountable. The charge? Resisting arrest/disorderly conduct. This is also known as “contempt of cop.”
71-year old Ray McGovern found out about this when he committed a serious crime and was wrestled, manhandled, bruised, and arrested. What was this serious crime, for which he was physically attacked and punished? He dared to turn his back on Her Royal Majesty, Hillary Clinton. No, seriously, that’s it. He didn’t say a word, he didn’t bother anyone, he didn’t threaten anyone, he didn’t harm anyone. But if you annoy a government official in America, you are forced to jail. And the charge? Of course — disorderly conduct.
