(62,325 posts)Would you like me to give you a list of people who have not only had their 'places tossed' but have had their children killed by the police, who have had their pets shot to death, who have their loved beaten to death and others nearly killed.
It would be difficult the incidences are so frequent. There are whole websites trying to keep track of the American Citizens murder by the police.
I have not had MY place 'tossed' yet either. Neither did a lot of people in countries which turned into police states.
How many dead citizens do you think is acceptable before we start paying attention? Or does it not matter so long as your and my place are not 'tossed'? Lots of Germans did not have their places 'tossed' either, but that didn't mean that others were not dying and being tortured and having THEIR places tossed. Too bad those who did not have their places tossed didn't speak up on behalf of those who did. A lot of lives might have been saved.
And we are not talking about privacy in public anymore. Although I find it extremely creepy to know some government agent is watching me walking down the street. Why? What business is it of the government where I go when I go out? How sad that you have come to accept this kind of government oppression and spying as normal.
How on earth did the world survive without the Government watching every move citizens made, reading their personal letters, opening their mail, listening to their private conversations? This is the world you want? Because you got it.
