The US police state, the "best" in the world

[MadHound]

21. I'm trying to point out some hard truths to you,

Yet when I present you with facts and figures, you retreat into a defensive crouch that basically consists of "hey, it isn't happening to me, so everything must be OK". Sorry, but I find that sort of apathy infuriating, especially in the light of the excesses we see happening everyday.

And are you really stating that part of the problem is "poor schools"? Let me tell you something, despite the propaganda that is obviously being pumped into your head, the kids are alright

So you think it is OK to stop people for no good reason, just driving down the street? Let me guess, you're in favor of New York City's stop and frisk policy as well. Oh, and have you ever thought that the reason we have an increase in uninsured drivers is because our economy sucks? Presenting ID and paperwork when I'm pulled over for some other reason is fine. Pulling me over just to check my papers is unConstitutional and unAmerican.

Now then, I've presented a fair amount of evidence showing that we are indeed a police state. Do you have any sort of proof, sources, links, that we're not? And I'm not talking about just your experience, but actual evidence?
