America! Land of the free, home of the brave…. What a notion. What a place.





It’s gone too far, ladies and gentleman. Your rights as a human being and your rights as an American citizen have been stripped! You stand alone and unprotected! You did everything you were supposed to do. You worked hard, you paid your illegal taxes1, you kept your head down and tried to be a God fearing law abiding citizen. But while you were living life with your heads in the sand you gave up some of your most basic rights.
On May 7a neighborhood witnessed a group of officers deliver a brutal beating to a man who lay on the groundpleading for his life. This man was David Silva, 33 year old father of four, and he was dead before the night was over. Police reportedly beat David Silva to death with batons after releasing a K9 unit on him and restraining him on the ground for several minutes.  Several witnesses had their cell phone video of the incident confiscated. This man was intoxicated, he was big, and he was disorderly, he may have even been dangerous, this is the truth. But he was NOT armed, he was NOT deadly and he did NOT deserve to die at the hands of out of control police men.2
What gives any group of men the power to take another’s life, in front of his family, in front of his peers, in front of his own home? This is a government out of control!
People have given up there right to remain silent3, the Fourth Amendment right4, and the right to due process!5You are being spied on6, lied too, stolen from and made a fool of!
Police violence and police misconduct is at an all time high. Police brutality and abuse of power is at an all time high. These men have been warned about civil unrest7 and an aggressive public, trained in martial law and encouraged to twist the law in their favor and use aggressive force rather than be just.
