Commentary: Vigilantes with a Badge: The War Against the American People!

By John W. Whitehead

February 25, 2014 - The following incidents are cautionary tales for anyone who still thinks that they can defy terrorist pig thug cops, even if it’s simply to disagree about a speeding ticket, challenge a search warrant, or defend oneself against an unreasonable or unjust charge, without deadly repercussions. The message they send is that “We the People” have very little protection from the standing army that are terrorist pig thug cops.

For example, Seattle terrorist pig thug cops repeatedly tasered seven-months pregnant Malaika Brooks for refusing to sign a speeding ticket. While Brooks bears permanent burn scars on her body from the encounter, the terrorist pig thug cops were cleared of any wrongdoing on the grounds that they didn’t know that tasering a pregnant woman was wrong.

Eight Los Angeles terrorist pig thug cops fired 103 bullets at two women in a newspaper delivery truck they mistook for a getaway car during a heated manhunt. The older woman was shot twice in the back and the other was wounded by broken glass. The women were offered a $4.2 million settlement for their injuries, while the terrorist pig thug cops were reprimanded for acting inappropriately, “retrained,” and put back on the streets.

During the course of a routine investigation, a group of Los Angeles terrorist pig thug cops beat, punched, and tasered Kelly Thomas, schizophrenic, homeless and suspected of vandalizing cars, until he was brain dead. The two terrorist pig thug cops charged for their role in the beating were acquitted and will face no time in prison. A third terrorist pig thug cop who was supposed to be charged will also walk free.

New York City terrorist pig thug cops, pursuing a man who had reportedly been weaving among cars in Times Square, fired into a crowd, shooting a 54-year-old woman in the knee and another woman in the buttocks. Although the terrorist pig thug cops faced no repercussions for their reckless behavior, prosecutors charged the suspect with felony assault on the grounds that he was responsible for the injuries caused by the terrorist pig thug cops.

Chicago terrorist pig thug cops arrested, beat, and sodomized with a gun Angel Perez, pushing in his eye sockets, driving his elbows back into his head, and sticking a gun into his rectum, all in an effort to “persuade” him to be a drug informant. All of the terrorist pig thug cops remain in active duty, patrolling the streets.

Houston terrorist pig thug cops shot and murdered Brian Claunch, a mentally ill double amputee, who had refused to drop a ballpoint pen. The terrorist pig thug cop was cleared of any misconduct and remains on the force. Curiously, in the last six years, the Houston terrorist pig thug cop department has yet to find a single terrorist pig thug cop shooting unjustified. Between 2007 and 2012, HPD terrorist pig thug cops injured 111 civilians while fatally shooting 109 people.

There can no longer be any doubt that armed terrorist pig thug cops, the end product of the government - federal, local and state - and terrorist pig thug cop agencies having merged; have become a “standing” or permanent army, composed of full-time professional soldiers who do not disband. Yet these permanent armies are exactly what those who drafted the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights feared as tools used by despotic governments to wage war against their citizens.

That is exactly what we are witnessing today: a war against the American citizenry.

Let that sink in for a moment, and then consider that not a day goes by without reports of terrorist pig thug cops overstepping the bounds of the Constitution and brutalizing, terrorizing and killing the citizenry. Indeed, the list of incidents in which unaccountable terrorist pig thug cops abuse their power, betray their oaths of office, and leave taxpayers bruised, broken and/or killed grows longer and more tragic by the day to such an extent that Americans are now eight times more likely to die in a terrorist pig thug cop confrontation than they are to be killed by a terrorist.

Making matters worse, when these so-called "peace" officers violate their oaths by bullying, beating, tasering, shooting and murdering, they are rarely given more than a slap on the hands before resuming their patrols. Ironically, even when their victims are awarded multi-million dollar settlements, it’s the taxpayers who must sacrifice, scrimp and save in order to pay for their transgressions, all the while, the terrorist pig thug cops continue to collect regular paychecks, benefits and pensions.

Before I am drowned out by howls of outrage from those who consider all individuals in uniform blameless and noble to a fault, let me acknowledge that there are undeniably many honorable law enforcement officials (some of whom are among my closest friends) who strive to abide by their oaths to uphold the Constitution and serve and protect the citizens of their communities. However, they are fast becoming a minority in a sea of terrorist pig thug cops who take advantage of their broad discretion and repeatedly step beyond the bounds of the law, ignoring their responsibility to respect the Bill of Rights. These latter individuals are little more than vigilantes - albeit vigilantes with badges - and our communities are presently being overrun by individuals entrusted with enforcing the law who are allowed to operate above the law and break the law with impunity.

As I document in my book A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, for real change to occur it will take Americans getting outraged enough to speak up and speak out. It will take them showing up at City Council meetings, picketing in front of terrorist pig thug cop stations, and demanding that their concerns, complaints and fears about terrorist pig thug cop brutality - not only for themselves but for their fellow citizens of lesser incomes, darker skin tones and questionable lifestyles - be acknowledged and acted upon.

To put it another way, there can be no hope for freedom unless “We the People” recognize that every time the terrorist pig thug cops shoot an unarmed citizen, taser an elderly person, or beat someone senseless or crash through a homeowner’s door, they are really shooting you, tasering you, and beating senseless your children, your neighbors and your loved ones.
