Life in the USA: An Endless Series of Don’ts Delivered at the End of a Loaded Gun

The Rutherford Institute notes:

Life in the American police state has become an endless series of don’ts delivered at the end of a loaded gun:

• don’t talk back to police officers,,
• don’t run when a cop is nearby lest you be mistaken for a fleeing criminal,
• don’t carry a cane lest it be mistaken for a gun,
• don’t expect privacy in public,
• don’t let your kids walk to the playground alone,
• don’t engage in nonviolent protest near where a government official might pass,
• don’t try to grow vegetables in your front yard,
• don’t play music for tips in a metro station,
• don’t feed whales, and on and on.

For those who resist, who dare to act independently, think for themselves, march to the beat of a different drummer, the consequences are invariably a one-way trip to the local jail or death.
