Law Enforcement Took More Stuff from People Than Burglars Did Last Year:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/11/23/cops-took-more-stuff-from-people-than-burglars-did-last-year/

(Washington Post, Christopher Ingraham) Here’s an interesting factoid about contemporary policing: In 2014, for the first time ever, law enforcement officers took more property from American citizens than burglars did. Martin Armstrong pointed this out at his blog, Armstrong Economics, last week.

Officers can take cash and property from people without convicting or even charging them with a crime — yes, really! — through the highly controversial practice known as civil asset forfeiture. Last year, according to the Institute for Justice, the Treasury and Justice departments deposited more than $5 billion into their respective asset forfeiture funds. That same year, the FBI reports that burglary losses topped out at $3.5 billion.

My Commentary: But, without government, who would commit armed robbery under color of law?

…With a Capital “G”

I originally posted the following video and statement onto my Facebook wall…

You’re “Christian”? “Jewish”? “Muslim”? “Atheist”? Hmmm… How can that be, when you so faithfully believe in, practice, and even proselytize for, your personal Lord and Savior, Godvernment, just like a loyal Statheist?

Capital G:

“I pushed the button and elected him to office and, uh
He pushed the button and he dropped the bomb
You pushed the button and could watch it on the television
Those motherfuckers didn’t last too long

I’m sick of hearing ’bout the ‘have’s’ and ‘have not’s’
Have some personal accountability
The biggest problem with the way that we’ve been doing things is
The more we let you have the less that I’ll be keeping for me

Well, I used to stand for something
Now, I’m on my hands and knees
Trading in my god for this one
And he signs his name with a capital G

Don’t give a shit about the temperature in Guatemala
Don’t really see what all the fuss is about
Ain’t gonna worry ’bout no future generations and, uh
And, I’m sure somebody’s gonna figure it out

Don’t try to tell me that some power can corrupt a person
You haven’t had enough to know what its like
You’re only angry ‘cuz you wish you were in my position
Now nod your head because you know that I’m right… alright!

Well I used to stand for something
But, forgot what that could be
There’s a lot of me inside you
Maybe you’re afraid to see

Well, I used to stand for something
Now, I’m on my hands and knees
Trading in my god for this one
And he signs his name with a capital G”

The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Another Much-Needed Government Warning Label“…

Rayn: “Primitive man and his ‘civilized’ knowledge.
System collapse, and he still won’t acknowledge…” – L. Boogie

“Warning: trust in the ability of government to solve complex social problems has been shown to cause serious harm to human beings & destruction of private property. (Assault) (Theft) (Extortion) (Intimidation) (Collusion) (Kidnapping) (Electrocution) (Discrimination) (Trauma) (Death) *Use caution when dealing diretly with the government to avoid these common threats*”

Wendy P.: Wow, love those words by L. Boogie.

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Strictly Voluntary,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

“Warning: trust in the ability of government to solve complex social problems has been shown to cause serious harm to human beings & destruction of private property. (Assault) (Theft) (Extortion) (Intimidation) (Collusion) (Kidnapping) (Electrocution) (Discrimination) (Trauma) (Death) *Use caution when dealing diretly with the government to avoid these common threats*”

My Commentary: “Primitive man and his ‘civilized’ knowledge.
System collapse, and he still won’t acknowledge…” – L. Boogie

(note: though I previously shared a similar government warning label in March of 2012, within my post, “Much-Needed Government Warning Label,” I still felt compelled to offer up an alternative commentary when I saw it again, due to the inspiring nature of these words)
