Is the US becoming a Police State?

[newworldafro]

The irony........excuse me the GREAT IRONY...........is the U.S. is/was the beacon of liberty and freedom.......NOT PERFECT of course...............still, countries all over the world adopted constitutions based on the blueprint of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights......... and now it has been.............not enough synonyms for "destruction".....

There was study done by some group this month or so that asked about 1,000 Americans some questions about U.S. History...and only 44% knew what day Independence Day was....... ...........................it's just bonkers...

The war on terror is a blank check to the powers that be to create a police state.

Its not just the war on terror though...just looks at NYC and the Stop-And-Frisk siutation. Don't miss the forest for the trees when looking at the way this country is becoming more and more authoriatarian all under the guise of protecting you from any number of boogeymen whether it be terrorists or street gangs..this shyt has gone local. The main goal is to exert control over the citizenry and sadly most people are all too happy to just accept it as long as they can have the perception of feeling safe.

shyt even extends to the internet and the suppression of information SOPA anyone?

And the US government is trying to enforce their authoritarian will on non-US citizens:

Richard O'Dwyer is a 24 year old British student at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK. He is facing extradition to the USA and up to ten years in prison, for creating a website - TVShack.net – which linked (similarly to a search-engine) to places to watch TV and movies online.

O'Dwyer is not a US citizen, he's lived in the UK all his life, his site was not hosted there, and most of his users were not from the US. America is trying to prosecute a UK citizen for an alleged crime which took place on UK soil.

it's called since 9/11

its been a police state since then

government attacked the world trade center in order to have an excuse/reason to suffocating citizens with law enforcement rape

Brothers, don't just focus on the Federal Government, Feds and their legislation.

Most of it is being implemented at the local level by commissioners and police departments.

You think it's a coincidence that Police Officers are now militarized, and have military grade equipment and weapons? It's the local police officer that tramples the constitution and your rights, and will be the first to defend the masters. Look at Egypt and their revolution. The Army bounced and took sides, it was the police that stood until the last second and committed murder indiscriminately.

We have been a police state far before 9/11. It was just at that point we accepted it.

Is the U.S. the only country with over-the-top airport security? That's a big issue to me because I plan on traveling alot in the future. I don't want to be inappropriately groped and felt up on everytime I fly. I really feel sorry for females though.
