You got the change you wanted. A nanny state. Have you heard the old saying if you live in my house you follow my rules? Well it's their house now.

Re: Fuck the Police State
Some of Eric Holder’s remarks concerning the Justice Department Report into police practices:
" He described Ferguson as a community where officials used law enforcement to generate revenue and did so disproportionately against African-Americans because of racial bias.
...
Although some community perceptions around the death of Michael Brown may not have been accurate, Mr Holder said, "the climate that created them was all too real". He added: "Some of those protesters were right."
...
Mr Holder said that while the problems found in the report in Ferguson were "acute" they were "not confined to any one city, state, or geographic region". "

The militarization of law enforcement, racial prejudice and inappropriate funding practices (which amount in my estimation to extortion) predominate the landscape. I think better Federal oversight of local enforcement agencies, local justice departments and their “revenue raising” practices are warranted by the report. Not holding my breath though.

"
On July 15, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) sent 13 law-enforcement officers to execute a paramilitary raid on a no-kill animal shelter in Kenosha. The crime? The shelter was harboring a fawn that had been abandoned by its mother and named Giggles by shelter volunteers. The shelter intended to turn the animal over to a wildlife reserve the next day, but that was not good enough for the DNR. Wisconsin law forbids the possession of wildlife, so DNR sent the heavily armed team to capture and euthanize Giggles.
Eleven days later and less than 100 miles away, staff at a nursing home in the Chicago suburb of Park Forest called paramedics after 95-year-old World War II veteran John Wrana, suffering from a delusional episode, refused medical treatment. The paramedics in turn called the police, which further agitated Wrana, who threatened them with his cane and a knife. The police responded by shooting Wrana with stun guns and bean bags fired from a shotgun. Wrana died from internal bleeding shortly thereafter.
A generation ago, it is unlikely that either of these situations would have elicited such a violent response from law enforcement. But over the last 40 years, police have moved steadily towards increasing levels of force and militarization with little regard for the situation. Journalist Radley Balko has been documenting this phenomenon for nearly a decade, and in Rise of the Warrior Cop he explains how America has been transformed into a country where police conduct something on the order of 50,000 SWAT raids a year."

Why is someone be taken in to police custody for "sagging pants". Granted, it was illegal in that community, but that seems like an offense that should be covered by issuing a citation, not an arrest-able offence. I think the man probably had some mental health, and substance issues, but did he deserve to die? By the way, Whites were sagging long before Blacks. It was white blue collar workers, who were associated with 'having their burr cracks showing. For example, some had tool belts etc. I remember one tv episode of "Designing Women" in the early ninties, I guess, that had a long comedy segment about this. At the end a White plumber came in And when he went under the sink, you saw his crack, and the show ended, with a big laugh. 2013 a community makes it a crime, when Black youth are doing it. And in this story, a Black man is killed by the police in custody. But that's because it's no longer funny, huh?
