Local citizens\u00a0have accused the police of ongoing racial profiling and extreme police brutality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555555;\">After the murder of Brown, local protesters have taken to the streets and began to riot and loot. Yes, this had to be stopped. However, someone needs to explain why the Washington Post\u2019s Wesley Lowery and the Huffington Post\u2019s Ryan Reilly were arrested Wednesday evening, August 13th, while working on their respective stories in a McDonalds restaurant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555555;\">Someone also needs to explain when peaceful demonstrators take to the streets, the local police respond by using laser scopes\u00a0to target\u00a0protesters who are peacefully gathering. Officers have also responded to the protests with MRAPS, AR 15 assault rifles, full body armor, the use of rubber bullets and tear gas on nonviolent demonstrators. Ferguson, Missouri looks more like Afghanistan than the streets of America.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TRhK41Yy3Ro\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TRhK41Yy3Ro<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555555;\">Welcome to police state America. And this is not just confined to Ferguson, this is happening all across America.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #555555;\">Brown Shirt Tyranny In Oakland<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #555555;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #d52120;\" title=\"The Oakland Police Department\" href=\"http:\/\/www.policestateusa.com\/2014\/oakland-officer-robert-roche\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Oakland Police Department<\/a><\/span>\u00a0(OPD) is reinstating police officer, Robert Roche, who was suspended in 2011 during the Occupy Oakland protest Roche was suspended after he threw a flashbang grenade into a crowd who were trying to help a peace activist who was struck in the head by another police projectile. Using the old worn out Nazi storm trooper excuse, Roche was not held responsible for his actions because he was\u201d\u00a0<strong>just following orders<\/strong>\u201c. Then why not hold the thug who actually gave the order responsible? Well, Roche\u2019s superior who gave the order was actually promoted. Welcome to police state America.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555555;\">Before you feel sorry the brown-shirted Roche, his reinstatement is a sign that there are still major problems within the OPD as Roche has killed three people while on duty.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #555555;\">Abusing the Public In Milwaukee<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #555555;\"><a style=\"color: #d52120;\" title=\"Wisconsin: Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke\" href=\"http:\/\/fox6now.com\/2014\/07\/13\/false-accusation-leads-to-lawsuit-for-county-sheriff\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wisconsin: Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke<\/a>\u00a0and four of his deputies are being sued by Tanya Weyker for covering up the lies about the crash caused by Deputy Joseph Quiles who rolled through a stop sign and T-boned her car.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555555;\">The officer lied and said Weyker was driving drunk and she was arrested. Yet, subsequent lab results showed no alcohol or drugs in her body. Her neck was broken in four places, requiring fusion with steel rods. Quiles remains on duty while Weyker remains in the hospital. Welcome to police state America.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #555555;\">Tasing a 70 Pound, Eight Year Old Girl In Pierre, SD.<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #555555;\">Official documents only identify her as LMJ, an eight year old girl who was having a tantrum and picked up a kitchen paring knife when four \u201creal men\u201d from the Pierre, SD., police force showed up to the house. They immediately struck the girl with a taser and the force of the blows knocked her into a wall and police were forced to enact life-saving procedures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #555555;\">Are the \u201creal men\u201d of the Pierre, SD. police department so whimpy that one officer could not distract this eight year old while another grabbed the knife from this eight year old girl\u2019s hand? Are you kidding me? Welcome to police state America.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #555555;\">Martial Law Detention Centers and CPS Procurement Officers<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #555555;\">In Baltimore, MD., local city council members voted 13-2 to impose the strictest curfew laws in the country. Children who are caught out after curfew and will be taken to a detention facility and CPS can be called to come get the kids. The last thing that Baltimore residents need is for law enforcement to be \u00a0acting as procurement officers for CPS seizure. If you are new to this column, simply Google Lexi Dillion, Stacy Lynne and Monika Wesolowski and you will see just how bad of an idea that this is. Parents will be fined $500 when their children are picked up.

CPS will soon have the right to enter your home without a warrant\u00a0in order to search for ways to remove\u00a0your children from your custody. Welcome to police state America.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #555555;\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #555555;\">Extreme police brutality, martial law type curfew rules, the theft of children from CPS, the passage of the NDAA and DHS arming against the people are all signs that we no live under undeclared martial law. These cases are only the tip of the iceberg.
