Still doubting we live in a dangerous police state?
Jake, the Champion of the Constitution reports at Nolan chart that,
Iraq Veterans Against the War were trampled by mounted police during a peaceful protest at the last presidential debate.
Protesters were assaulted, harassed, threatened, told they had no rights, and even threatened with prison rape.
The marchers were attempting to ask a couple questions of Senators Barack Obama and John McCain as they were debating. Nick Morgan, Iraq war veteran, was trampled by a police horse on his ribs and face, breaking his orbital in three places
When Chiroux asked to speak to a lawyer, an officer threatened to place him in the back of the jail where "the big boys will pop your cherry." When Chiroux asked this officer if he had just threatened an honorably discharged veteran of Afghanistan with prison rape and requested his name and rank, he refused and told him to look it up on the police report, which was not delivered as of October 20.

Mainstream media has thus far been largely silent on the debate, less it mar the "dignity" of the righteous celebration of the two-party system that was the last pathetic "debate" between Barack Obama and John McCain.
At least the New York Post has picked up on another story of police abuse in the Big Apple.
The crime? Smokin' Weed.
The punishment? Beat down and sodomy.
A gang of rogue cops clobbered a Brooklyn man they saw smoking a joint, then sodomized him with a walkie-talkie antenna during a broad-daylight attack in a subway station, law-enforcement sources and the victim's lawyer said yesterday.
Is there anyone who believes this type of action by the police is in anyway justified?
Laws and law enforcement are supposed to protect individual liberty.
On the one hand, we have drug laws that persecute individuals who may make unwise choices, but are doing no harm to other people, eg: smoking a little weed in the subway.
On the other hand, you have the enforcers of these ridiculous laws using perpetrating a REAL crime against the so-called criminal, the pot-head.
This is so unbelievable it is making my head spin.
