Police Action a Good Excuse to Introduce You to Grigg

I suppose you have heard about the local recent case in which nine law enforcement officials arrested a woman at work and took her away in handcuffs in the mistaken belief that she had not taken a defensive driving class. If not, here is the story by Robin Mero.

The police have a difficult job. We live in times where a significant segment of the population is rebellious, uncooperative, and rude. A population often winds up with the police force that they deserve. That being said, the "laws" that these folks are being called on to enforce are increasingly unjust and the police-state presence is too often disproportionate to the real need. So we have two problems here that feed on one another: We have an increasingly corrupt population living under an increasingly corrupt government. Such situations historically metamorph into a police state and we are no exception.

I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the best writer I can find on the growing-police state side of the equation. He's William Grigg of Pro Libertate. If you want some solid and well-documented accounts of government abuse of power written in a style second to none, you should check it out.
