href="http://radgeek.com/gt/2008/06/30/law_and/">opens up with both barrels</a> on the institution of State policing, and rightly so.</p><p>I saw this video about 2 weeks ago. Twice, three times. I left it up on my screen, I read the articles, I read the comments, I tried to organize my thoughts. Nothing came out but a high-pitched keening sound, so I knew it was time to move on.</p><p>Watch:</p><p><object

href="http://radgeek.com/gt/2008/06/30/law_and/">his full post</a>. He&#8217;s done the research and picked apart the assumptions and lies. He&#8217;s looked into this pit of filth and come back with something instructive. Bravo, Charles.</p><p>His conclusion is as apt as it is obvious. It&#8217;s nothing shocking to those of us who share the same critique of the state, but worth repeating nonetheless:</p><p
style="padding-left: 30px;">The plain fact is that what we have here is one of two things: either a professionalized system of violent control which tacitly permits and encourages cops to exercise this kind of rampant, repeated, intense, and unrepentant abuse against powerless people—or else a system which has clearly demonstrated that <em>it can do nothing effectual to prevent it</em>. <strong>In either case, it is unfit to exist.</strong></p><p>As for the Aryan Nation connection, well, imagine my shock. You didn&#8217;t really think that cops are selected for their dignity or their integrity or their intelligence or their tolerance or their morality, <em>did you</em>?</p> <br
