Highlight - Police Abuse at the Inauguration

In a previous blog I discussed Unconstitutional: The Movie, and talked about how it covers the unconstitutional legislation passed after 911, and the illegal uses of police power since then.

One thing I wanted to highlight though, was an act of pure fascism by the police providing security along the parade route. There were some very rowdy protestors, but you can see in the movie also many groups of peaceful protestors, many just holding signs, or chanting slogans. Typical, peaceful, American protests.

Then we see two men in civilian clothes enter the crowd, and begin spraying the unsuspecting people with pepper spray! The cans of spray are clearly marked as government issue, the men are identified by name in the movie, and we see them indiscriminately spraying peaceful protestors in their faces! I understand the need to protect the President, and for crowd control, but this was a clear case of fascist acts by our own police forces. This is an outrage to all true Americans! Why is there no public outcry over this? Where is the media coverage?

The right to peaceably assemble and to protest are fundamantal American rights set forth for all to see in our Constitution. History has shown us that if we do not allow peaceable protest, violent protest is sure to follow. As a Veteran with a Purple Heart I have shed my own blood for these rights, and seen too many of my compatriots sent home in metal boxes to stand by and allow anyone to undermine these rights.

If you feel the way I do please contact your representatives and let them know we will not tolerate such behaviour, they must enforce the law or we will recall them and send someone who will. The link below allows you to send a free email to your representatives, use it please!

Next time it could be your political party, your children protesting, your turn to taste the pepper spray and find out what it feels like not to be able to breath or see from the pain. If you love this country then you make your voice heard, say it loud and often, no fascism here!
