Police stop more than 1 million people on street

As we speak, I'm sure the founding fathers of America are turning in their graves... for a number of reasons. The corruptness of the police in America and throughout the world is indeed a problem, and as said earlier, the police are a federally funded and protected gang. They have a quota of arrests per month, which shows that they are out to get us (especially at the end of the month). Not to go off on some war story rant, but the number of times that I have had run ins with the police, i have been told things like "you have no rights" and "who the f*** do you think you are, a lawyer?" (after having told them they couldnt search my car. Basically, the cops can do whatever the hell they want. They abuse their power, and even if it isn't constitutional, it will hold up in court most of the time. All they have to do is lie, and then they can get you. I was not aware that probable cause got lowered to reasonable suspicion. Now, even more so than before, if the cops want you, they'll get you. I don't understand how we taxpayers just take it up the butt like this. Essentially we are paying the government to pay these pigs to pull us over, make us late for work, and in the end waste a lot of productivity for court fees, and time. They are robbing us of our livelihood. Of course there are some things the cops can do alright, but for the most part, they get people on technicalities, and minor offenses that have little bearing on the rest of the general public. In the news we hear of girls that've just been found after 18 years in captivity even with a parole officer going to the captor's house. What are they doing? I firmly believe that if, as a nation, we started putting more money into education, and less into law enforcement, we would be well off. (of course this would have to be gradual).

The police force is a business. America is super fucked up. The cops don't care about safety, they care about money and making arrests. It kinda says something about the common american dream, (i believe someone said earlier) the pursuit of profit.

I've been arrested before after getting searched for having a busted tail light. i wasnt doing anything to harm anyone, just getting some bk. i wasnt even intoxicated. they claimed smell was probable cause (it is not and won't hold up in court) however, they brought the dogs. yes, i had an eighth on me, but i do almost every day, and its not a problem then. After they brought the dogs i knew i was fucked, so i just gave up trying to be respectful, and the cops just got high with power demeaning me and shoving me around. They are cowards. They arrest people for petty things that almost everyone does daily, just so they can meet their quota.

I live in the chicagoland, and a few years ago there was a cop who shot his ex-wife's husband something like 12 times and killed him, and then the charged got dropped because he claimed it was self defence. Recently, he beat down a mentally handicapped child for not tucking in his shirt, and also sexually assaulted a 15 year old.

What are the common people of america going to do about this. I feel as though the federal govt. is not unlike the brits in colonial times. When are we going to have had enough. The direction we are headed does not look good, and at some point or another something has to happen. Will it be totalitarianism, or something better?
 
I noticed a lot of people say they have brass knuckles on here. I know in my state they are considered a deadly weapon so possessing them is technically the same as having an illegal knife or a gun without a permit. My sister got busted with brass knuckles and did a month in jail for having them. This is in TX.

She got a month in jail for brass knuckles in texas???

Im in the midwest and i have a friend who was caught with brass knuckles in school and he got a minor suspension from school and no legal punishment. Im just curious to how a conservative state like TX would give out such a harsh sentence for a weapon charge.
 
Just a question...

How many times has a cop ever helped you personally?
Even if you asked?

Me- Zero. Zip. Nada

Rule of thumb, take care of yourself, don't do anything stupid, and if you happen to see a piggy, get away from it.
