Freedom Matters
Crime - When someone violates your freedom or uses force, fraud, theft, or threats against you.
IS DISCUSSING COPS WHO COMMIT CRIMES, "COP BASHING"?
I don't think so for the following reasons:
Criminals commit crimes because they are criminals. Cops are not suppose to be criminals. If a criminal commits a crime, that is not a big surprise. When a cop is committing crimes, that is kind of shocking so it is normal for people to talk about it. If a criminal commits a crime, you can defend yourself or call the cops and let them deal with him. But if a cop commits a crime and you try to defend yourself. You might end up in prison or dead.

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.
Most people who prefer big government won't change there mind. Most people who prefer freedom won't change there mind. So instead of trying to convert the other side. 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 freedom 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 freedom of others.
Freedom means that people decide for themselves how they live their life.
LIBERTY:
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 and no one has the right to violate your freedom. When you accept that you are liberated.
