Life is better with freedom.
Cop Hit with $500,000 Excessive Force Suit
REVIEW OF THE VIDEO:
Police arrest some guy for driving drunk. The guy asks to use the toilet and the cops won't let him. The guy ends up pissing his pants. Now the cop has to mop the piss up off the floor and tells the guy who has his hands handcuffed behind his back to move to the corner. The drunk guys moves over a little bit past the corner the cop told him to move to and the cop grabs the drunk victim who has his hands handcuffed behind his back. The cop then tells the other cop twice to watch out, so the other cop moves out of the way and the big cop slams the victim head first into the ground. The victims head is split open and there is a lot of blood. The victim needed 13 stitches to close the hole in his head and he also had a concussion.
ANALYSIS OF THE VICTIMS ACTIONS:
Did the victim harm, steal, or threaten anyone? No
Did victim violate anyone's individual rights? No
Was the interaction between victim and the cop voluntary? No
The victim should never have been arrested.
ANALYSIS OF THE ACTIONS OF THE POLICE:
Did the police harm, steal, or threaten the victim? Yes
Did the police violate the victims individual rights? Yes
The police violated the victims rights.
QUESTIONS:
Assault - physically attacking another person or threatening them with a weapon.
- Did the cop commit the crime of assault?
- What is more dangerous, freedom or a government that has authority over you?
MY ANALYSIS:
The cop claimed he slipped and did not mean to take the drunk guy down to the floor like that. That seems to be a lie because he warned the other cop to move out of the way and when the cop moved he slammed the guy down head first. Also by looking at the video it is very obvious that he did not slip. The cop did this on purpose.
The victim had his hands handcuffed behind his back. The cop slammed him head first into the ground. The cop was trying to crack the victims head open or kill him.
If someone did that to a cop they would be arrested for attempted murder and end up going to jail for a long time. Everyone should be treated the same. If you commit a crime, then you should do the time.
Wrong is wrong, it does not matter who does it.
GOVERNMENT:
Government is control by force. The authority claimed by governments is unique because it is considered a license to use force against peaceful people. People claim it is acceptable for government to do things that an individual would never be allowed to do. This is why governments come up with special words to obscure what they are really doing. War is mass murder. Taxation is theft. Even when government gives money to someone in need it must first steal that money from someone else. No one has the right to control others by force, even if they claim to have the majority behind them.
If government violates your right to own and carry firearms. Then in a way they are also violating your right to self-defense. It is almost impossible to defend yourself, your property, and your rights from armed people when you are unarmed. Once your unarmed, government will have no problem violating the rest of your rights. Unarmed people are like sheep, and a nation of sheep will end up with a government of wolves.
People need to realize that government does not have the right to rule. Victims of this gang called the government imagine an obligation to obey it. Government is an entity that is imagined to have the right to do things that individuals do not have the right to do. Such as steal and they call it taxation. Such as initiating violence and calling it law enforcement. Such as committing murder and calling it national defense.
People have the irrational belief that government is allowed to do things that you can't. So the resistance in peoples minds is turned off and they think government authority is OK, logical, and reasonable. But if people would examine the cause and effect of what is really happening. They would say it is logical to resist someone who wants to harm you, steal from you, threaten you, or violate your rights.
If evil were only committed by evil people then we would not be in that bad of shape. But today almost everybody thinks it is OK for you to be forcefully robbed which is called taxation. People imagine that it is a good thing if done by government. Good people condone evil because they do not recognize that it is evil. But once they realize that it is evil. They will try to stop it instead of voting for it.
The relationship between government and the people is becoming like the relationship between a criminal and his victims. Our government has been robbing us, disarming us, and violating our rights and it will only get worse as time goes on. If we lose our rights, then we lose our freedom.
ONCE YOU SEE THE TRUTH ...
The great government lie is that it exists for the good of its victims. To obscure the truth, governments go to great lengths with propaganda intended to change the way we think and thus how we act. The greatest measure of what governments are capable of with propaganda is how much they have convinced us to identify with them so that anyone who challenges their power is seen as an enemy of the people. The most potent weapon in the hand of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.
No matter how government employees are selected they are only human beings and they have no rights or claims that are higher then those of any other human. No one has the right to harm you, steal from you, threaten you, or violate your rights. We can not give people any rights that we do not have ourselves. Government should never be able to do anything you can't do. If something is wrong for you to do, it should also be wrong for government to do. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it.
The first step towards freedom is realizing that you do not know everything. Once you realize that you do not know everything then your mind will be more open and it will be easier for you to see the truth. Once you see the truth, you can set yourself free.
The belief in government authority creates massive theft, extortion, violence, and wars. Once people realize that government is a criminal organization. They can rid themselves of the belief that they have an obligation to obey government. Then you can have free people who can decide for themselves what they can do.

PRINCIPLES OF FREEDOM:
1 - All people are born free, created equal, and have certain individual rights.
2 - A society built on freedom is based on the rights that all people have. People can do whatever they want within there rights as long as they do not violate the rights of others. Individual rights are rights your born with and no one can legally take away from you. Any law that violates your rights is null and void. Anyone that violates your rights is a criminal.
3 - People have the right to self-ownership. Self-ownership means not only that you own yourself, but everyone owns themselves. The best way to ensure respect for our self-ownership is to respect the rights of others. Without self-ownership, there is no freedom.
4 - No one can claim even partial ownership over a person without violating there rights. Taxing people without there consent under the threat of force is robbery and is a violation of our rights. Free people get to decide for themselves how there money is spent.
5 - All interactions between people should be voluntary and free of force, fraud, and threats.
6 - People have the right to carry weapons to defend themselves, there property, and there rights. We never have an obligation to let anyone commit aggression against us. No one has the right to harm you, steal from you, threaten you, or violate your rights.
7 - We have the right to seek leaders for ourselves but we have no right to force rulers on others. No matter how leaders are selected they are only human beings and they have no rights or claims that are higher then those of any other human. No one has the right to murder, enslave, or to steal. We can not give people any rights that we do not have ourselves.
8 - To help secure our individual rights, governments may be created, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter it, abolish it, or withdraw there consent to be governed.
THE FREEDOM SOLUTION:
There are two kinds of people. People who prefer big government (statists) and people who prefer freedom.
Statists want government to have a great deal of power over the economy and individual behavior.
People who prefer freedom, want to have a great deal of control over there own lives.
We should just let each group live the way they want too.
If your a person who prefers statism then you can have all the government you want, as long as you do not violate the rights of others.
If your a person who prefers freedom then you can have all the freedom you want, as long as you do not violate the rights of others.
Freedom means that people get to decide for themselves how they want to live.
LIBERTY IS NOT A BATTLE:
Liberty is not a battle that requires the conversion of others in order to win.
Liberty is won when you accept the fact that you own yourself, that you have individual rights, and no one has the right to violate your rights.
When you accept that you are liberated.
