Obey or DIE!

This is the message the militarized police forces all over America are brazenly putting out now.

(and that goes triple for you black and brown citizens of course!)

Man police shot in Walmart killed over fake gun, family says

The gunhand of the 1% are making it real clear now that they wield the power of life and death over any of us at any time for any reason at all. They can and will snuff out your life, your kids life, your life, any where any time in this great and wondrous Randian land of freedom=slavery we all exist in today.

This country is fast turning into a corporate fascist police state. I wonder if its too late to stop it and turn it around?

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me."

—Martin Niemöller (1892-1984), a prominent Protestant pastor who emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps.

If any persons rights are taken away in this country, its just a matter of time until everybody's rights are taken away from them!

We will either be all free or all slaves and racists are too damn ignorant of the facts of history to care if black males are systematically stripped of their rights because....we ain't black!

DUH you stupid f*****s!

Why were that tax-evading freeloader and his followers in Nevada able to aim guns at local, state and federal agents without repercussion?

joining as they see the threat to this country.

And the more who stand up, the better. Police Chief Bratton thinks the protests will 'fade away'.

He hopes.
