What do you think we were never supposed to forget?
 
Really? Hundreds of cops only focuses on rushing in to save people. This board which on a few ignores our badges heroics

Would read again, you have forgotten or don't know. You proved my point. Keep being an asshole.
 
Yeah its so easy to forget 9/11 when it’s practically a fucking holiday these days, and forgotten also bullshit because anyone over the age of like 12 remembers because it fundamentally changed America, mostly in a bad way from that point forward.
 
So you’re arguing that 9/11 provides a rationale for police brutality.

That doesn’t make any sense and it’s a horrible way to memorialize people who died on 9/11.
 
Weak sauce. Cops are mostly heroes. This board makes it seem the opposite.

Asshole, that attack unfied America and several adminstrations kept us safe afterwards.
 
What’s your acceptable ratio of heroism to brutality?
 
Hundreds to one, with the right to sue seems like the rule of law.
 
You’re probably one of those people every year that commemorates 9/11 by telling your personal connection where you were 1000s of miles away but were somehow able to survive the imminent danger of that day. Thats also some solid spin, that attack helped generate and develop the police/surveillance state that our country now resembles while throwing us into an insanely costly war that we just ended 20 years later, while somehow also spurring an additional war with a country that had no relation to that day at all, weeeee America fuck yeah!
 
I have no personal connection. Neither do you, prick. You have no clue what a police state is.
 
A police state is a totalitarian state controlled by a political police force that secretly supervises the citizens' activities

It doesn’t have to be secret but otherwise that’s a solid definition.

What would need to change in order for the US to become a police state?

You don’t think policing is totalitarian. So what would be totalitarian?

You don’t think policing is political? So what would make policing political?

You don’t think policing supervises (or do you mean surveils?) citizens? So what would be police surveillance?

Oh, maybe open elections, free press, social media, boards like these, the entire federalist system, state goverments, muncipalies, massive changes in our research on indinviduals, a complete restructuring of survelliance, and more.
 
Go back to the definition you posted. You don’t think there is a police state in this country. What would need to be different in order to get from where we are now to a police state?
 
No, not even close. Free elections alone defeat the definition. I also haven't seen political prisoners.

The Soviet Union was a police state. So is North Korea.

You've never known that in the U.S.
