why cant cops realize that we are HEADING towards a police state, and they are helping?

first when i ask these questions their are a lot of cops who play the superiority game " wow you are so stupid, you have no idea what a police stat is" by doing this they show their own stupidity by not responding to the argument and instead committing logical fallacies

Anyway I never claimed we were in a full blown police state i said we have aspects of one and that we are heading towards one

why are the police helping the elite send this country towards a police state?

People being arrested at peaceful marijuana rallies, protesters being arrested for bogus charges, , The war on drugs putting non criminals behind bars for choosing to do something that hurts no one but the user, raw milk sellers being raided by police when all they do is sell to willing customers, person arrested and jailed for 30 days for collecting rainwater on his property, gardens in front yards destroyed by police or city workers because they are " not up to standards " but wasteful grass is

now ask youself if we really were the land of the free would cops stop peaceful non criminals from smoking marijuana, or companies from selling raw milk to willing customers, in a free society would someone be jailed for 30 days for collecting rain water on HIS property, I highly doubt the " land of the free" would destroy front yard gardens of peoples homes because they don't meet up to standards

so if you don't believe we are heading to a police state please tell me why

and if you finally figure out we are heading to a police state why are these cops helping the elite? when their job is to help the people

    When making an argument, the onus of proof is on you. You need to show why we're heading towards a police state. You have failed to do that. It's hard to argue against a random statement. I state that the sky is green, not blue. Are you going to be able to argue that point without telling me that I'm stupid? Probably not, because all I've done is state something wrong and not backed it up.

    You point to peaceful protesters being arrested, but don't offer what they were arrested for.

    You point out the guy who got pinched for collecting rain water, or people who sell milk illegally, and people with yard gardens, but none of those things prove the idea of moving towards a police state. Those are laws that were erected by the will of the people for a purpose. Not understanding or disagreeing with that purpose doesn't mean that we're heading towards a police state, it means we live in a society of rules and people who are caught violating those rules are punished.

    Yes some cops will pull over someone with marijuana, and they'll confiscate it and let them go, they'll write you a warning instead of a ticket, they'll ignore you not wearing your seatbelt, or the unregistered car in your driveway. Cops don't enforce every law all the time. They work within the system to try to do the best they can.

    You need to actually form an argument showing how we're moving towards a police state. You failed to do that here. Yes we're the land of the free, but we've always had laws. Having laws doesn't make us a police state. Until you can cogently show the validity of your argument, all you are doing is saying "the sky is green, prove me wrong"

    Wow! an entire American Meltdown could be referred to as for in that state of affairs. The hilarious factor is that desperate human beings does not motel to "rules," from now on than they ever have, and the form of "legally police state" functionality you profess has existed for 30 years and no person incredibly cares, as long as we've social justice. i think of united statesa. is being outfitted via layout. Any attack against us makes us extra desirable. continuously. era. perpetually.
