 Police Share in Government’s LargessePosted on Jul 28, 2009

The money will go toward hiring and rehiring police officers in all 50 states.

Oh yeah, beef up the police state…they’re going to need all the help they can get when the natives can’t eat any more grass and dogs and want food and shelter or health care…they’ll wander into the “haves” community begging for sustenance.
Report thisAfter the Cambridge incident, this give-away to police is even more cringe-worthy.

You can’t have a police state without police.

“The tremendous demand for these grants is indicative of both the tough times our states, cities and tribes are facing, and the unyielding commitment by law enforcement to making our communities safer,” said Attorney General Eric Holder in a statement.
Hmmm… who’s communities?... I’d wager, the HAVES… not the HAVE NOT…

Just like a banana republic. The poor can only find work in the military, and its job is to supress the poor and spread fear, weather that be over seas or at home.

Here we go, a great chance to start hiring the bent malcontents coming back from Iraq. Maybe add a few Blackwater rejects to give the cops some umphgrowing42. Lookout America.
