@Mauhadeeb28, @26keano, @facesbysusanna, ... All our public employees from police to judges/court proceedings to legislators are rightly subject to electronic supervision/recording/surveill­ance by their employers, the citizenry.

It’s one of the more basic conditions of their employment.

Important and necessary quality control.

Cops are the corporation's enforcers. If they are held to the same standards there will not be such powerful corporations. Gotta keep people in fear in order to maintain power.

[Jimboman300]

Time for the people to crack down on crooked cops. Our taxes pay there salaries they work for us. We need a zero tolarance standard against police abuse

Land of the free my ass. This is a fascist state.

Apple has invented a device that will shut down cameras via software programming. Claims to be for concerts and stuff. Won't be long before every police car has one of these on it! Police will now be able to assault the citizenry, confident that no one will be able to record their actions!

@StopFear firstly its good to dissagree, shows your thinking for yourself.I have seen a lot of videos online and witnessed a lot of reality that suggest to me, when I look at the facts, that most countries now are in a police state. Power is an old outdated ideal, and has no place in the world of tomorrow. If we survive without destroying ourselves, people will realise this (many already have).

Our freedom lies in education, once the majority have that, the world will change.

We are the employers. We are the tax prayers. On the precipice of collapse (economically), which I believe we are in the middle stages, you will see tax payers finally paying attention, at that point we will be at war with the government. And Jefferson would be proud of us

@groam6666 friedman's not who I learned legalization from. I learned that in a library. The majority of the human experience takes place within economics. economics existed before money did.it existed as soon as human beings settled into permanent dwellings. as long as humans continue to live and consume and interact with the physical world to survive economics will exists. because aside from the high abstract, the metaphysical/spiritual all action and thought stems from the physical world

it would have been that cops fault if he got shot if the motorcyclist had concealed carry

@StopFear ".... you dont have to be a Mason to be a crooked cop."

No shizer? Wow, you are enlightening us all today.

If you knew of 1 credible debunking of the sources given we'd have seen them; note you supplied ZERO support with your traditional argumentum ad hominem and ad populum fallacy 'arguments'.

(A CNN, Faux 'news' and debate trick for which too many Americans fall sucker.)

Do two idiots w/ the noted fallacy arguments trump 1 analyst w/sources?

(LEO/FEO mgmt is what's corrupt.)
