Jericho Cops Update

According to Lew Rockwell's Blog, one part of that odd Jericho Cop Saga is business-as-usual: No matter how wrong the cops may be, their victim is wronger still in the eyes of The Lawwww if he puts up anything remotely resembling a fight.

So, here’s the scenario:

A man goes to court to contest a traffic ticket. At least three, and as many as seven, police officers are present. A “scuffle” breaks out between the badly outnumbered man and the police, which ends when one of the police draws his firearm and shoots the man in the back.

Question: Who gets charged with a crime, and what is the charge?

So yeah, some things don't change. Cops can do whatever they want to you, and your job is to respect their authoritah. No matter how thuggish - or how murderous - they become. Remember that, Citizen.

Of course, on this micro scale the "Citizens" had other places they could go, and they have pretty much gone there. Oh Little Town of Jericho is nearly defunct, with businesses having closed and residents having moved away as fast as they can to get away from the blood-sucking oppression that was clearly allowed to go on for years too long. What's left is in chaos now, and what passes for local officialdom is in full dysfunctional damage control mode which is really - I admit - kinda fun to watch. You might've gotten the impression that I don't actually care too much for "officialdom." You might've been right.

This is all so right in line with what David Codrea's been writing for years in his "Only Ones files:" IE, "We're the only ones who..."

Push madness far enough and the whole thing's got to fall apart. People finally remember that they're not that compliant. But if it really has to get this bad on a national scale before the reaction happens, we're in deep, deep shit.
