America in 1776. "I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death."
America in 2016. "If the cops are harassing you, it must be your fault." "You should just do everything a cop tells you to do the instant he tells you to do it." "If the cops shoot someone then that person must have deserved it."
It's interesting to see how a police state can make people run in fear. Maybe people assume they can be safe from the police if they join in on the police attack.
It's also interesting to see some people from other countries talk like the reason we have so many out of control cops and so many prisons is because the people of this country are a bad society that needs to be clamped down and controlled. It's all our fault. You'd think some of these countries would look at their own history and realize a police state is never justified.
I have faith in the youth of this country. I believe they'll right the ship, even if they have to create a new country to do it. They will restore freedom and end the police state. And when they're done, they will live in a long period of isolationism. Did someone invade your country and now they're robbing you and throwing you in jails? Good luck with that. After all, where were you when it was happening to me?
