Ch 15.1 - Crime/Police
"People think they want freedom. What they really want is order." - Mandalorian
Narrative: Law enforcement is there to protect you. Crime is caused by inequality. We need more police to stop crime from spreading. Cops care about the Constitution and your rights.
a. Crime
---------------------------
"Masked man robs a bank and shoots the teller. He turns to a woman on the right and asks if she saw what he did. She replies ‘yes’ and he shoots her. He turns to the left and sees an old couple and asks the man, ‘did you see what I did?’ The old man replies, ....’I didn't see a thing but my wife saw everything.’" - Unknown
"Crime that pays is crime that stays." - Catherine Austin Fitts
"How would you rate your shoplifting experience at American Eagle...?" - Unknown
"Would you encourage other shoplifters to shoplift here...?" - Unknown
"What could we do to improve your shoplifting experience...? - Unknown
"Crime is contagious. If the government breaks the laws, It feeds the disdain of the law, inviting individuals to self-justice. It willingly opens the door to anarchy." —Judge Louis Brandeis
"If I learned anything in a previous career, it is that criminals victimize their own neighborhoods. It is a basic fundamental truth. These people blaming outsiders are wrong." - Unknown
"Where's Kyle Rittenhouse? He's the only thing that can stop this... Trump couldn't even stop this." - Unknown
"Shooting totals for JUST August, JUST Chicago:
287 shot, 232 shot and wounded, 55 shot and killed
Totals YTD : (Just Chicago)
2,124 shot, 1,721 shot and wounded, 403 shot and killed" - Unknown
"Black lives don't seem to matter when taken by black lives." - Bill Maher on Joe Rogan
"500 black people get shot and killed. The first 499 are killed by other blacks. Silence. The 500th black gets killed while committing a crime and the shooter is a white cop. All hell breaks loose. Riots, media circus. Accusations of racism flying like **** through an industrial turbo fan. The dead criminal is elevated to status of black saint, all sins forgiven or overlooked, while the cop who fired the shots is demonized and prosecuted with the full weight of fed and state law coming down hard. This is the absurd clown world version of America that we live in." - Unknown
"Congratulations. You guys figured out what Rush Limbaugh said on the radio for 3 hours a day for 35 years." - Unknown on Bill Maher's comment above
"Some face-time is necessary but we're never going to go back to a 100% in-the-office policy, and companies that attempt this will lose talent to those that adapt to the shift. All this means that a substantial amount of square feet in all those tall office buildings in our major metropolitan areas are going to remain empty. The owners of these properties are already feeling the pressure of meeting higher debt maintenance with lower lease revenue, with many facing default. Countless small businesses in downtown areas facing significantly less traffic are closing their doors. And unless something is done, those empty buildings — after the banks have repossessed them from bankrupt borrowers — will become derelict, inviting even more crime and homelessness. It's already happening." - Unknown
“On the 13th and 14th floor you could get anything from a blow-job to an acid trip in a few minutes. Essentially, the building was hijacked.” - on Ponte city in Johannesburg S.A.
“Where is our protection? There are so many concerns and protections in place for drug users and homeless people, but what about the working class that have to pray that they make it to and from work in this environment. These are real dangers faced every single day just to be able to provide for your family. They got money for war but can’t feed the poor. These elected officials both republican and democrats continue to fail the people. No humanity. We have a crisis right here in our backyard and we’re funding wars in other countries.” - Freqmeek on the San Francisco Tenderloin homelessness issue after posting a viral video on TikTok
"I'm starting to think the reason they let most of the criminals out of the prisons across most of Western Civilization is to make room for the coming flood of political prisoners. No way the J6 political prisoners are gonna prove to be a one-off incident." - Unknown
"Remember in the movie Robocop when corporate America aids criminals and helps incite riots so they can lower property values and then buy up the city while privatizing the city's police force? haha! science fiction is crazy." - Unknown
"1) Fund politicians/DAs that support criminals
2) Shops close, crime increases, residents/companies leave, property values dive
3) Blackrock/WEF/elite buy real estate cheap & "solve" crisis by creating 15-minute cities
4) Immobilized slaves live under total surveillance & control" - Unknown
"When your DA hates cops, loves criminals, and dismisses victims, and your state government is focused on de-incarceration this is what you get." - National Police Association on wild video showing large mob ransacking Arco gas station in Compton
"a lot of the officers who were fired or let go, were hired as private security by the rich people, and their neighborhoods stayed safe. I see what Bill did there." - Unknown
"The police are not here to create disorder, they're here to preserve disorder." – Richard J. Daley
b. Law Enforcement
---------------------------
"Midnight, sitting at a red light, road empty in all directions; I'm waiting for a lightbulb on a metal pole to give me permission to proceed. I'm not free..." - Unknown
“Speeding motorist: Can’t believe you are robbing me at gunpoint with my kids in the car…
Cop: Sir, this isn't a robbery or at gunpoint.
Speeding motorist: What happens if I drive away?” - Unknown
”I am the law. Drop your weapons. These blocks are under arrest. This is your final warning.” - Judge Dredd
"You think you own something until you resist the government. Every law is underpinned by violence. If you don’t comply long enough the violence comes out. And the government has a monopoly on violence." - Unknown
"If the state does not maintain its monopoly on violence, the state ceases to exist." - Unknown
"Conservatives love the troops and police but hate the government, while progressives hate the troops and police but love the government." - Unknown
"Strange how the police are more than happy to wade into a mob with their batons, fists & feet against peaceful 'conspiracy' protesters but stand around looking lost like they have forgotten the law when these idiots block the road putting lives at risk." - Unknown
"Yeah, that blue isn't as deep as it once was, many fading to a shade of brown. Not all, but too many." - Unknown on the police uniforms turning from the color blue, meaning they represent the people, to brown, meaning they represent the state. Brown Shirts were the Nazi Party militia that helped Adolf Hitler rise to power in Germany.
“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” - Lavrentiy Beria
"If a gang controls your neighborhood and cops are in on it but you don’t know... If you go to cops are you better off? No you screw yourself. Once you know the cops are in on it, you don’t screw yourself anymore. You’re better off." - Unknown, on why knowing the truth about how life works is always better
"If the cops have no duty to protect you. Then the only point of their existence is to be used against you." - Unknown
c. Police State
---------------------------
“For every government thru history in order to consolidate power they must have the support of the Federal Police. I don't know why this comes as a surprise to any of you? Oh wait, I am from Cuba, I forget a lot of this is new to you..." - Unknown
"The police are the enforcement arm of the state. There isn't a single law that they won't kill you or ruin your life over to enforce. Remember that." - Unknown
"The state is a [group of armed men with guns] who will throw you in a cage or kill you if you fail to comply. Everything else is just window dressing." - Lenin
"There was a running joke, Mr. Ramsey said, that if a man got shot in front of the White House and staggered and fell in the street, MPD would investigate. If he fell on the sidewalk, U.S. Park Police would investigate, and on the grass, the Secret Service would." - Unknown
"How can we make 2.5 million Palestinians in the West Bank feel that they cannot lift their head up? We will make them understand that we control their lives." - former Israeli soldier
"I wake up instinctively at 5am because that’s when they raid your house." - Andrew Tate
"We are tolerated as citizens only as long as we participate in the illusion of a participatory democracy. The moment we rebel and refuse to take part in the illusion, the face of inverted totalitarianism will look like the face of past systems of totalitarianism." - Sheldon Wolin
"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater." - Frank Zappa
"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force." - Ayn Rand
"This is what a conquered civilization looks like:
- you pay annual tribute to foreigners
- the legal system is rigged against your people
- your monuments and history get torn down
- there are certain things you're not allowed to say, or you'll face violence
This is us now." - Unknown
