to the City of Broadview.
Jesus, now I sound like MS Misfit, only this time it isn’t hyperbole and half-psychotic fantasy like her rants….this time it is real. They’ve promised to deploy teargas and any other force they think necessary against the citizens of Broadview and anyone they think might get in their way for any reason.
At some point these agents need to be reigned in (or better, fired). They’ve gone from an enforcement action (which I heartily applauded) to thuggery and they are hiding behind their Federal Status and using it as shield to throw their weight around. This isn’t law enforcement, this is thuggery and intimidation tactics and power projection. Forgotten their limits and their mission. Forgotten who they serve. Power Corrupts and all that. Yes, “Gestapo Tactics”…the fact that they issued the warning to the town demonstrated that they have forgotten what they are and what their limits are. That they are way out of control…That they believe they are masters, rather than servants. (I’m betting that these are the kind of cops who wanted to be bullies in High School but couldn’t be so now they get a badge and power).
Threatening citizens is going a bit too far. Cop culture writ large. An ass beating is in order. ‘Tis no wonder they are afraid to show their faces. .
