The police are the enforcers of the thievery practiced by the One Percent. The main function of the police in America is to suppress the citizens. That is what the black uncle Tom cop is doing at the school board meeting.

One of America's greatest disadvantages is "law and order conservatives." These peoples' paranoid fears of crime have enabled the creation of the American Police State. Moreover, these people are completely illogical. The police seldom, if ever, prevent a criminal act. The function of the police is to investigate the act and to pin it on someone, innocent or guilty. If an American is so scared by crime, he/she can use the carry laws to arm themselves.

The facts are established that each year 2 million criminal acts are prevented by the fact of armed Americans. The Second Amendment is the most powerful preventer of crimes in the United States. Essentially, the police prevent no crimes; rather the police commit crimes against the public, such as against the school teacher, whereas the Second Amendment protects each year 2 million citizens.

What America needs is not the corrupt police force that it has, but the Second Amendment.

Once Americans give up their right of self-defense, they are toast. My advice to every American citizen is: when you see the Second Amendment going down, get out of the country as fast as you can.
