An aberration or sign of things to come?
No sooner had I typed that I was posting my last piece, “perhaps more to provide fodder for commentary than anything else,” than I realized something I could blog on which would require little effort on my part and provide such fodder for our readers, some of whom I know delight in using our comments section as a forum for political self-expression. :-)
And in appreciation of the support they have shown to this blog (and even to us personally), I thought I’d offer a video I found linked on Instapundit, baldilocks and Michelle Malkin. I would dare say other blogs have linked/posted it as well.
This cop is trying to block display of a poster he finds distasteful ”because I just told you it couldn’t.” So, basically because the cop doesn’t like the way the man expresses his political views.
The policeman couldn’t identify a federal law, state statute or local ordinance which allowed him to block the public presentation of this poster. He didn’t identify anything which gave him the authority to act, save his badge.
Let us hope his actions are just an aberration–and not a sign of things to come.

If we keep up the pressure, then maybe this will be an aberration.
I do hope this person contacts the police commissioner and find out what laws was this cop referring to, other than the fact that as a Black man he now is able to get revenge on Whitey.

Just another liberal officer. Perhaps you’ve forgotten the liberal officers in Massachusetts during the LGBT demonstrations or watching the Folsom Street Fair in CA. “:Fascist” wasn’t strong enough……..

“Well it ain’t no mo’.” No knowledge of the Constitution, the First Amendment, freedom of speech, democracy. This cop is both arrogant and dumber than dirt (a very common combination).
We’re going to D.C. next month. This is going to be very interesting.

The images on this video are unbelievable! As a communism survivor I’ve seen all this, but I never thought I would see it here in America.
We are loosing our country to the communists. They have taken over the democrat party!! Wake up America!

“Well, it ain’t no more.”
Isn’t that what we’ve been saying since January? This isn’t America anymore. I sincerely hope this cop has already lost his job. The other posters were okay because they didn’t have pictures??? Really???
That’s his justification??
Well, it ain’t America no more.
