I had my TV on a random channel just now and chanced to see a program called Law and Order. Some goon-like cop was saying, "Nobody sleeps tonight. We kick in doors!" And it showed them doing it. Just kicking in doors, no knock, no show of any warrants, no nothing. It showed them dragging people roughly and violently to the Station where they demanded answers. When they didn't get the answers, they beat the people savagely. This is an example of what passes for "entertainment" on American television today. I know it's not the only case of it's kind.I saw another show some years ago of an actual police raid of a "crack house." This house was actually somebody's home. There was a family, children, living there. They were all asleep. The cops kicked in their door and rousted everybody under the glare of cameras. These weren't even actors, they were real people. This was how they were awakened.
I ask you, how can we have a society in which civil rights rule when these examples of fascism are served up to the American people as the way it's spozed to be? How many people will have the discernment to recognize how wrong these things are when they become desensitized to the regular sight of them? How can such people even stay sensitive to the rights of their fellow human beings when they are shown, with an air of approval, the regular violation of all rights. How can they even believe in their own rights?
What is left? The only way to win in such a world is to be a cop yourself. Kick ass instead of having your ass kicked. It's "fun." It can make you feel omnipotent to kick ass. You are king. That's the ethical code inherent in such programming. And we wonder why the world is they way it is.
