Wolf – Gov. for the Working People

General, Politics

What a great guy Pennsylvania elected to office.  He Raised  Harrisburg’s salary’s because they don’t make enough money.  Added a 50 cents per gallon gas tax because we might have gotten to much of a break when the price of oil dropped.  But the best was when I watched him on TV with a smug smile on his face saying that no one will mind paying taxes on their lottery winnings.  Pennsylvania is the 5th most corrupt state in the union!!!!  Is it any wonder that the police should abuse their authority when everyone in government has always abused their authority.  I really do not believe that we are a nation with a government that is of the People, by the People and for the People.   If you change the word People to Politicians and Corporations , then you have an accurate definition of what kind of government we have.  Our constitution is supposed to prevent us from double taxation.  This is one of the biggest jokes of all.  The greedy politicians continue to raise and double tax us and we continue to pay without standing up.  One way of speaking out is to NOT RE-ELECT THEM TO OFFICE FOR 2nd, 3rd, 4th and  lifetime terms.   I am beginning to be of the belief that no matter how you vote, elections can be rigged.  But I will continue to vote even if it is in vain.   When they finally succeed in taking away our guns that’s when we will be led off to be slaughtered just like Hitler did with the Jewish people.  And before all you anti gun activists get yourself in a tizzy, it doesn’t take a gun to kill someone if you want them dead bad enough.  Never forget that there isn’t a weapon on this planet that kills on its own.  Every weapon requires the hands of a human being.  Compare the number of deaths every year that occur with a motor vehicle to the number of deaths that occur by guns and then explain to me why everyone should keep their vehicles but have to give up their guns  But this another topic for another day.                     On a lighter note,  may tomorrow bring you something or someone to put a smile in your heart.  TheBudster

 

 

 

Abuse of Power By Law Enforcement

General, Social Issues

First off,  for every power abusive cop, there are thousands of GOOD cops.  I have the utmost respect for the GOOD cops that really do put their lives on the line every day to protect and serve.  It is important to not only recognize there is difference between the two, but to acknowledge the differences so that we might correct them.  If left go, the abuse of power will be like malignant cancer cells that will destroy the Good cells.  Having said this, let me relate my own experience with a cop that has a major power ego issue.  I am over 55, white and have health issues.  Myself and another individual called the police with a disturbance complaint regarding another party.  They came to  my home (2 officers).  As we began to explain the situation, the one became very hostile to me. His exact words were “Are you raising your voice to me?”   The really scary part was when he put his hand on his holstered gun and took a step towards me and repeated his question.  Here we are two women in the daylight, in the driveway (me on oxygen) being threatened because he thought I was speaking to loud.  And just so you know, there was no cursing.  IF I HAD CONTINUED TO TALK LOUD, WOULD HE HAVE ARRESTED ME OR POSSIBLY SHOT ME BECAUSE HE PERCEIVED MY VOICE A DEADLY WEAPON AND CONSIDERED HIMSELF IN HARMS WAY????   My neighbor and I looked at each other, took a step back and quickly ended the discussion.  The other officer just stood there.  I don’t  like to consider the outcome of that encounter had I been a man, black and living in a lower income neighborhood.     White and black need to work together to cut this kind of cancer from law enforcement.  This is NOT a racial issue!  THIS IS AN ABUSE OF AUTHORITY ISSUE that will only continue to grow unless action is taken.
