    Look into the police cruisers parked on public state property with police only parking signs.. Upper brass get special parking right across the street. Even though they got there own lot but this closer to the front door. They have been asked many times not to use the parking lot cause it hurts the non profit business that relies heavily on those parking spots. Thanks upper brass HPD.

      There are hundreds of thousands of videos, on TH-cam ALONE, about CORRUPT OFFICERS, literally showing them VIOLATING PEOPLES RIGHTS, PLANTING DRUGS, STEALING PROPERTY, STEALING MONEY, SEARCHING VEHICLES UNLAWFULLY, BEATING AND KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE!

      Yes, my TH-cam account went dead for at least 30 seconds, where my Comcast cable box TH-cam application said I was signed out, didn't have an account until 30 seconds later when everything was suddenly back. The timing cannot be coincidental as 1 followed 2 (followed 3, etc). Things look extremely bad for me, so I hope if I am "eliminated" by any member of any department that people will use screenshots to show a likely cause. I went national (multiple video makers in multiple states) for a reason, in the hope that perhaps I might be allowed to continue to live.

      @@raymclaughlin2032 A lack of empathy (the ability to understand how your own actions may effect others) is their problem (seemingly worldwide). Never correct their errors, let them swallow the consequences which will follow in the future. Even with a low blood sugar and recovery from as much, I leave my comments up unless asked by the video maker, as I accept the consequences of my own actions. They will have to do the same at some point, so never, ever create occasion for evidence of their actions to be eliminated. It would only allow other humans to reduce in intelligence with nothing to prevent it nor to consequence them from being of such a state. Simply take a recording of it by a safe and secure manner and don't lose that record (on the internet use archive to record it forever). Allow others to swallow the negative consequences of their own actions and be certain to take ownership of your own (like leaving things such as my original comment here up forever [unless the original video maker asked me to remove them]). A desire to have a negative impact on others is the action of those lacking sound minds and instantly displays their being of zero consequence to you/me as a result.

They don't keep the peace, but routinely initiate conflicts where, otherwise, no conflict would have been. They are agents by which their employer (the state) allows the use violence to enforce a monopoly on law de facto. The vast majority of the disputes that police initiate on behalf of their employer (the state) are also adjudicated by their employer, where the plaintiff, the judge, the antagonist (that's police) and the only witness (also police), all represent the same party, and, since no corpus de lecti can be produced, probably (depends on which state you're in) doesn't technically qualify to be heard according to its own "laws". Police employers are indistinguishable from a criminal cartel. They do not serve us. When the matter of whether or not they have a duty to protect the subjects of their employer (citizens of the state) has been brought before one of their employer's courts, their employer (state appointed justice) has decided that police do not. But, when they are charged with the task of using deadly force to apprehend a person who has incurred no liability for damages to anyone, police are obligated to obey.
      Everything I've written here, is factually true. I understand that you may not believe that, but once you strip away all the obfuscation and rationalizations, nothing else remains. So no matter how much good they believe they are doing, they’re actually not doing any good at all. I’m very American sir. I firmly believe that we should eradicate these subhuman traitors to the constitution. This nation was founded on killing law enforcement (redcoats). Our founding fathers literally crossed a frozen river on Christmas morning and murdered these subhumans in their beds. THATS AMERICAN.
