Read the entire article here: Suspect detained over 'extremist' bumper sticker
Where is the outcry? Where are Jesse Jackson and the Reverend Al Sharpton? If the "extremist" in this instance had been a liberal - the NAACP and all sorts of activists groups would be up in arms calling for investigations and asking for the officer's resignation, etc. Anything to get face-time for their causes, right or wrong. But,this is a conservative "extremist" here, so it's not news.
I don't claim know the entire story, I haven't had an opportunity to do more than read this one article. BUT if this is true, then the officer was in the wrong. We need to find out if he was acting of his own accord or if on orders from superiors.
I do hope that someone (an attorney) has already stepped up to assist this "extremist" to file a lawsuit against the officer, police department, city AND DHS for UNLAWFUL DETENTION!!!!!! It was, after all, the DHS memo that started this entire mess. We need to send a message, loud and clear, that this will not be tolerated.
Don't get me wrong - heck, I'm the wife of a cop (excuse me, Police Officer) and I worked in emergency services for 14 years. I know that bad officers do exist and because their mistakes become so public that the profession ends up with a black eye and a lot of good officers get bad raps for no reason. I'm not out to get the officer - I'm interested in teaching Washington that they really, truly need to think about all of the potential ramifications of their actions. They are releasing memos and reports left and right without any true regard for the residual damage they will cause. This must be stopped.
The leaders in Washington are afraid of us now. The once quite, shy, afraid to stir the pot conservatives are growing angrier by the day. Because we, historically, have just let them walk all over us (One reason the country is in the shape it's in today is because we haven't had the balls or backbone to stand up for ourselves, not as a collective) they don't know what we're capable of. The unknown is a scary thing. They know they are losing control and they are truly scared of what might come next. The only thing they know to try is to control us through fear. Fear of being labeled an extremist, fear of being put on the "watch list", of being jailed, would they go so far as to start "offing" us???
We must stand tall, shoulder to shoulder, and show them that WE ARE NOT AFRAID! We will now cower. We will not be controlled by fear or strong-armed into submission!
Ladies and gentlemen - it's time to bring out all of our bumper stickers and posters and flags and banners. Display them proudly. And if you're near Ball, LA - organize a parade!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
