    "Gestapo Like Police Raids"

    Excuse me but these raids are not "Gestapo Like" they are the real thing by the "American Gestapo". You know, those friendly guys in black who are sworn to "serve and protect". This is not the exception to the rule, this is the rule. You will find this type of police activity in every city in America. They do not think they are above the law; they truly are above the law. There is absolutely nothing that will happen to these cops. There will be no criminal charges filed, civil charges will be stonewalled and then if there is a judgement against these cops it will be paid by the very taxpayers they daily abuse. They're bullies with a badge, and sorry to say it, but wake up America, your "Bill of Rights" has been shredded and there is not a damn thing you can do about it. The POLICE STATE is already here.
