Life is better with freedom
College student speaks about the two police officers who assaulted him during the traffic stop
Driver stopped by police during a traffic stop. Then police assault him and then lie about it but it was caught on video and both officers got fired and all charges against the driver have been dropped.
MY ANALYSIS:
If you pulled someone over at gun point demanding money from them because they are not wearing a seat beat that would be a robbery but for some reason when a police officer does the same exact thing it is not a robbery.
Robbery - taking or attempting to take your money or property by force, threat of force, or by putting the victim in fear.
Wrong is wrong no matter who does it. If something is wrong for a individual to do then it is also wrong for the government to do.
The ironic thing about this incident is that the two police officers were fired for assaulting the driver and then lying about it but no one ever gets fired when they commit a robbery.
So the moral of the story is when you commit a robbery be nice about it. Don't hit anyone during a robbery because you might get fired.
NOT A GOOD IDEA:
The idea that we need to give a group of people permission to forcibly rob and control us so they can protect us from those who might forcibly rob and control us is ridiculous. Yet, most people believe that, they believe that we need government, the biggest thug and thief around, to protect us from thugs and thieves.

THE GREATEST DANGER:
Government is the most dangerous threat to mankind when it holds a legal monopoly on the use of theft and violence against legally disarmed victims.
- Ayn Rand
DEMOCRACY:
Democracy is like a slave who refuses to rebel because he does not think he is a slave.

TYRANNY:
When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear
arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
- Thomas Jefferson
FREE PEOPLE ARE ARMED PEOPLE:
Free people have the right to defend themselves, slaves do not have rights.
Free people who allow themselves to be unarmed will not remain free for long.
Unarmed people, can only flee from evil. And evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.
SELF-OWNERSHIP:
Self-ownership is an important part of being human. You own yourself. You own your body. You own your labor. For anyone to assert otherwise is to attempt to restrict your freedom or make you a slave. Without self-ownership, there is no freedom.
FREEDOM IS NOT A BATTLE:
Freedom is not a battle that requires the conversion of others in order to win. Freedom is won when you accept the fact that you own yourself.
FREEDOM:
Because you own yourself, it is wrong for someone to initiate force against you or your property. This non-aggression principle (NAP) applies to everyone, and it is therefore wrong for someone to harm you, steal from you, threaten you, or violate your rights. Interactions between people should be voluntary and free of force, fraud, and threats.
DECLARATION OF FREEDOM:
- All people are born free, created equal, and have individual rights.
- Interactions between people should be voluntary and free of force, fraud, and threats.
- We never have an obligation to let anyone commit aggression against us.
- We never have an obligation to let anyone violate our freedom.
NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO VIOLATE OUR FREEDOM:
- No one has the right to rob me.
- No one has the right to harm me.
- No one has the right to threaten me.
- No one has the right to violate my individual rights.
THE PRICE OF FREEDOM:
There will always be people who try to violate our freedom. To remain free we have to be willing to defend our freedom.
That is the price of freedom.
