Libertarian cop suspended after e-mailing media - NH

[maximumfullpower]

Brad Jardis is a traitor to the family of law enforcement that deserves to be in prison for his malicious actions.

[LiberalJerseyman]

the ridley report is the dumbest shit on youtube

[RidleyReport]

Breaking news 10/31.

Epping govt blocks hearing for "liberty cop"

See video descrip.

[HKSpowered]

dont get me wrong, i am a suscriber and fan of the ridley report, but dave... why would you charge 40 dollars to show people how to upload instant video from an i phone????!?!?!??! or do you also teach people how to do mini-dv editing on windows movie maker? honestly 20 bucks would be kinda steep, i mean all you gotta do is plug in your firewire cable to the camera, and it literally starts auto downloading to windows movie maker, and then you drag and drop music, then save it, 40 bucks? lol

[absurdparadox]

@HKS: sounds like a market opportunity! Embrace freedom and undercut! :-D.

[RidleyReport]

any vid is better than none, but most folks shoot bad vid. It takes years to get good at; a few hours and forty bucks is a drop in the bucket but can solve some key problems like shakiness and failure to get closeups.

But if ya don't like the idea of a class don't take the class.

[maltieskitten]

we need to stand behind the good officers like dear brad jardis, god bless him.

[NewWorldOklahoma]

Anarchy burger (hold the government)

[Elephantintheroom01]

Its good that his first response to their obvious threat was to come back here and tell us about it.

Of course we support your right to tell us about your work, it is after all a public service and the public have a right to know.

[CMLovejoy]

Looks like he made his handlers angry.

[mcgrawtim123]

Officer Jardis, or anyone in this country has the first amendment right to say anything about politics he wants to.

The drug war is political. Officer Jardis' criticism of the govt's drug policy is protected by the first amendment.

[Anothercoilgun]

Hopefully he will come to the bright side.

[jhyeti]

I am sure if all he had done was beat some guy and falsely arrest him he'd be getting a pat on the back and news stories about how brave he is..but speak out against the insane drugs laws, you're suspended..

[diggingforgold]

I think the liberty activists should really support this cop. But I do NOT think they should make a scene at the public hearing.

This is one of the few good cops out there, and he needs to be protected and supported at this time.

[iTellYouNoLie]

get him in touch with barry cooper

:)

[p00lman]

When you speak out about your work place and coworkers, what the hell do you expect? This applies to 99% of the rest of the world.

The libertarian disease leads to blindness.

[fawa2084]

Go back to your flock sheep

[p00lman]

Sorry, bunky, but I'm a lone wolf. I can't help it if I'm good at my job and I never get in trouble with the law.

[mrethrift]

You're not much of a wolf if you never get in trouble ; )

[NDNPolice]

The 'libertarian disease'? Certain individuals who identify themselves as 'libertarians' seem to have a few screws loose. However, those folks do not represent the bulk of the libertarian party. If someone tells you they're a libertarian and they believe in anarchy or lawlessness, quite simply they are a confused individual who is probably trying to 'find' themself. Certainly, anarchy is not a 'libertarian' idea and neither are many of the things these so called 'liberty activists' do.

[p00lman]

"those folks do not represent the bulk of the libertarian party"

Then who does? Show me someone in their right mind who can express Libertarian ideals without coming off as a nutjob.

[Elephantintheroom01]

But your just challanging people to let you call them a nutjob there, i bet you can find any fault in someone who doesnt agree with you.

[p00lman]

Your assumption is wrong. I give everyone a chance to explain themselves.

[mrethrift]

You are the nut job you hate.

[Elephantintheroom01]

Heres an explanation i would like you to disprove, beyond the point of opinion, but to evidence.

The idea of a state excludes the rights of the individual, why? Well not just in practice but at its very core the idea requires that the state is superseded by none. Therefore no one person can challenge the state, and by the 11th constitutional amendment, no one may sue the state for any transgression.

Tthe justice system falls under the supervision of the state it lacks the power to win.

[p00lman]

Why do I need to disprove something that's only hypothetical to begin with?

"The idea of the state" isn't a fact, it's not something that exists in its purest form in reality. It's not something that can be proven.

It's like telling me to disprove that god exists. Why?

[Elephantintheroom01]

If it is indeed hypothetical then you should have no problem when people; free stater/protester try to disprove it.

After all just because its a hypothesis doesnt mean people dont enact it, even if it is a wrong hypothesis such as a god.

If nothing were to change then humanity would never advance. We would still have the inquisition torturing people. The only wrong thing to do, is nothing.

[p00lman]

You can't enact a hypothesis.

You can test one, but not when the test subject is an entire society and the hypothesis requires changing the entire structure of society.

What you're discussing is not grounded in reality.

[Elephantintheroom01]

So your trying to tell me that christians do not act as if god is already prooven to exist every day? Even though this is just a hypothesis?

It requires no radical re-education of those that disbelive it, they just arnt invited to the hypothesis.

[p00lman]

Religion isn't a hypothesis. A hypothesis is something that can be tested to be proven or disproven.

If you're comparing the free state movement with religion, you're only making a weaker case for yourself.

[Elephantintheroom01]

No Im not comparing it to a religion.

People like to say that religion cannot be proven nor disproven but that is just laziness.

Ask Richard Dawkins, he and i both believe that there is a certain point when a theory becomes so disreputable through continuously being proven wrong, that it can be considered disproven.

[p00lman]

I like Dawkins, but I believe he argued against the Christian faith, not religion in general (I don't know, I haven't read his stuff, so I may be wrong). The more specific the argument and the more specific the religion, the more you can argue.

But religion in general? The concept of "god" in general? You can't really argue for or against it. It's like saying there was someone who started the big bang - how can we argue that either way? Belief is just beilef.

What were we talking about?

[spikeychops]

@p00lman Dawkins wasn't arguing against the Christian religion alone, it's all religion. He hypothesises that humanity may have a specific genetic component, or large sections of humanity at least, that predisposes the carrier of the gene or gene sequence to being 'a believer' in a deity or creator god. It doesn't single 'a' religion out, all religious belief systems would have at it's root, a genetic driver of sorts, or 'a genetic compulsion or imperative to believe' in a deity. He may be right

*stalk stalk*

[Elephantintheroom01]

You may be substituting anarchy for the word chaos.

[NDNPolice]

Anarchy (no government) is what i was saying. Lawlessness of course leads to civil unrnest and chaos, which is why i used both words.

[Elephantintheroom01]

Ok, well anarchy does not represent no government. It represents local government-councils who then agree upon things in parliment/congress however there is no leader.

Anarchy isnt truly 0% government as some sensationalists would have you belive.

[NDNPolice]

anarchy |ˈanərkē|

noun

a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority : he must ensure public order in a country threatened with anarchy.

• absence of government and absolute freedom of the individual, regarded as a political ideal.

-Oxford American Dictionary

[NDNPolice]

Who knows what world you live in but in the real world, anarchy results in lawlessness. If a neighborhood or a community were to agree to band together for the greater good of their families so be it. However, even if someone were to break their word and victimize someone within, there still wouldn't be any legal course of action to be taken, rather, there would be only a sort of 'jungle justice' type of retributiive consequence. Anarchy = lawlessness, chaos and civil unrest. It's that simple.

[mrethrift]

Another comment gone.

[12GaugeLosAngeles]

Barry Cooper... he'll jump all over this! Call him..

[Michael7893]

Well if he had made a formal complaint he may have been forbidden to speak of the matter to the press till after a formal investigation was completed. If thats the case then yes he could loose his job.

[sallyos06460]

Disgusted. Give him his job back!

[Pv8man]

They better give him his job back or else....

NH liberty activists REALLY need to vouch for this guy...

He is too valuable to the liberty movement to be fired.

Besides it's not against the law for cops to talk to the press.

[theeeees]

gives me hope that not all cops are assholes.

[HHODork]

does he not have the right to be a whistle blower in the event of harassment?

[redmolotail]

Move to Wyoming. Molon Labe.

[popomp1]

that some BS give the guy his job back

[webovisionca]

you should charge two oz of silver instead

[jsh78mang]

Brad is the man GIVE HIM HIS JOB BACK
