About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Police Drones

Before I start,
I would like to say,
we have a lot of great,
qualified,
honest,
upstanding
Police Officers
in this Country.
(Andy, I consider you one of the good guys.)
It only takes a few bad apples to make the whole bunch look rotten though.
But now,
"North Dakota Police"
are going to use
"drones"
to
"fire weapons at people,"
from a
"guy looking at a computer screen?"
North Dakota
is the first
"State in the Union"
to allow Police to fire
"less than lethal"
weapons from the air.
This means
rubber bullets,
pepper spray,
sound cannons,
tear gas
and
tasers
will be raining down,
out of the skies,
upon suspected criminals,
innocent bystanders who just happen to be in the way,
rioters,
and protesters who protest a little too long.
Even
“less than lethal”
weapons can kill though.
At least 39 people have been killed by
in 2015 so far,
to The Guardian.
Bean bags,
rubber bullets,
and flying tear gas canisters have also maimed,
if not killed,
in the U.S.
and abroad.
Bruce Burkett
of the
North Dakota Peace Officer’s Association
states,
“When you’re not on the ground, and you’re making decisions, you’re sort of separate, depersonalized."
Great,
as if we don't have enough killings of
falsely accused minorities
already.
Now these
minorities 
will be pick off the ground,
from the skies,
because someone decided,
"they look a little suspicious!"
Or,
where is our Constitutional Rights when
Grand Forks County Sheriff Bob Rost
says,
"He doesn’t think he should need a warrant to go snooping."
Fantastic,
they'll just fly these drones around,
door to door,
photographing what everyone is doing around their own homes,
looking for trouble where trouble might not be.
Or,
they will keep flying around until they find somebody they don't like
and constantly harass them.
Until the
Harassed
cause trouble.
Why don't we just go all the way
and have listening devices,
heat signatures,
infrared,
and everything else the Military uses to keep us safe from overseas terrorists on these drones.
We didn't really want any freedoms any ways,
"Right Patriot Act?"
I feel sorry for today's youth.
They are losing their
"God Given Rights"
on a daily basis,
and to me,
it looks as if no one cares.
All in the name of protecting us from Terrorists.
Well life isn't safe
and losing all your freedoms isn't safe either.
It's controlled living,
regulated by the
Super Rich & Powerful.

This is,
The Voting Protesting,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life.” 
- Bob Marley -

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
