We Are Right In The Middle Of Early Warning Signs Of Facism (Pictures)
It looks like the genii is out of the American bottle. Some of these militarized pollice forces make no bones about using the Constitution to ipe their asses.
We’re now locking up journalists for being in town when a protest is going on; and locking up citizens who film polic arresting other citizens. In some localities, you don’t have the right to take pictures or video cops arresting other citizens.
We’re going back to the 1960s despite all of the blood, treasure and lives that wee shed to Obtain Civil RIGHTS.
Then, as now: freedom isn’t free.

Civil Rights Laws and Police Misconduct
A statute known as Section 1983 is the primary civil rights law victims of police misconduct rely upon. This law was originally passed as part of the Civil Rights Act of 1871, which was intended to curb oppressive conduct by government and private individuals participating in vigilante groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan. It is now called Section 1983 because that is where the law has been published, within Title 42, of the United States Code. Section 1983 makes it unlawful for anyone acting under the authority of state law to deprive another person of his or her rights under the Constitution or federal law. The most common claims brought against police officers are false arrest (or false imprisonment), malicious prosecution, and use of excessive or unreasonable force.- See more
