Don't like smoking in bars? Make it a LAW, give the police even more power over us. Just keep going and going, every little thing you don't like put the POLICE in charge of it.
The police, these same lunatics flashing their guns at Starbucks employees to get free muffins. The same ones who are shooting dogs and beating moms and killing everyone. This roving band of pirates. Yes, pull them even further into everyone's lives. What they need is more POWER over everyone. Unchecked, unlimited power.
Some people are complete and utter buffoons.

I'm sure the people in the community appreciate the power of the police to break into any house they want, on the flimsiest of excuses, and start shooting anything that moves.

A few dead dogs here and there, a few dead negros, a few needlessly tasered people, a few heads busted in, a few million people in jail, these are is a small price to pay to live in a civilized society.
