The American Police State in One Photo
This photograph was sent to me on Facebook:
This picture is just another street in Anytown, U.S.A.
While it isn’t openly violent — it doesn’t, say, depict cops beating a man to death, as in the case of Kelly Thomas, the schizophrenic homeless man who begged for his father as cops continued to beat on him until he died without any repercussions — it does depict something else: a police state.
What you see in this picture is a man merely walking on the sidewalk. There he is, on the left. He was just walking. Just minding his own business, according to the witness who sent me the picture. He had walked on the grass a bit, but as you can see, the sidewalk is curvy and the grass is a public space.
Two motorcycle riding cops (because it took two) decided to stop what they were doing to tell this man to stay on the sidewalk and keep walking according to a witness. As you can see, cop one is pointing at the man while cop two watches.
In other words, it took two cops to stop and order a man around who was…just walking on a sidewalk in America.
Because this is…keeping order? ‘Protecting and serving?’
Because these officers didn’t have anything better to do…?
Or is it because we have a totally imbalanced justice system ruling the day in a country with militarized police where more people are put in prison per capita than any other place on the face of the earth and the majority are for non-violent crimes?
Is there a crime even happening in this picture? Seriously.
Is there even a code for this?? What you are looking at isn’t even jaywalking.
What you are looking at is a grown man minding his own business just trying to walk down an American sidewalk.
This picture encapsulates something that has gone very, very wrong in this country today.
This picture captured the modern American police state.

Whistler Blowers, Insiders
Recently, a man who survived Nazi Germany described the chair that the Nazis strapped him to when they ‘questioned’ and tortured him. On the bottom of the chair was an ‘Eagle’ and a swastika, and the inscription was labeled, “Department of Homeland Security”.
Get the picture?
“Beware of any nation which uses an eagle as its emblem.”
Ancient Chinese philosopher (possibly Lao Tzu, 5thC BC), several hundred years before the height of Rome and more than two thousand years before the USA and the Nazis.
The cops are in their rights. No American should just aimlessly roam around. Who know what this guy may be up to? Good on the cops. Job well done. Get those Americans!
i soooo hope you are being sarcastic
Sarcasm or not, its people like you I keep buying more and more ammo.
You sick and demented, maybe youll change you mind if that was one of your immediate family members. prick!
Obvious sarcasm
The first time I heard of the establishment of a department of homeland security it gave me the willies big time.
That doesn’t happen to me very easily.
All I could think of is Nazi Germany.
It just flat out creped me out and I thought wow are we moving that fast already?
Our country and this world are spinning into insanity on purpose.
The Internationalist have their plan, the Islamists have their plan, and the commie/socialists have their plan.
For the moment they all align with intent so they are all using each other to create absolute worldwide chaos and each leader propped up by these groups is out for what they want and obama is good at that game.
The purpose for chaos and death is to justify clamp down, arms confiscation, and in general steps toward dictatorial powers for these groups.
These groups just like the axis powers in World War 2 will work together on a worldwide basis to make these realities come to fruition.
Just as the axis powers in world war two believed that they could rule the world in sync after dominating it they each all also secretly believed that they could overcome the other in the end and become the one true leader of the entire world, so do these new axis powers believe the same.
I believe the internationalists believe as Hitler did that with an overwhelming political power, economic power, and military power of a united Europe and the Americas in their pocket and with deep inroads (politically and economically) into the African continent and the mid asia, and asia proper continents that they will eventually come out on top as the unified world leaders and thus enforce the one world governance that they have been developing onto the world.
We are one step away from a total worldwide dictatorship.
The neutering of the 2nd amendment of the Constitution of The United States of America.
If we do not ensure that our 2nd amendment rights and freedoms are rock solid then no rights will be and if we lose the U.S. we lose the world.
And that my friends is what all of them are counting on.
Praise God and pass the ammunition!
Long live this Republic!
I’ll not dispute the “police state” we are turning into, however this was a waste of my time. WTHeck? This is exactly why I don’t open 9/10 of the emails from before it’s news. Ridiculous to speculate on this photo. Allow me to write my own fictional narrative: Man walking flags down motorcycle cops for directions. How about: Cops find lost tourist and point out direction the rest of his party is looking for him. Or: Cops catch pedestrian littering and give him a stern warning.
Really. You can be a sheeple following the “constantly looking for wrongdoing in ordinary interactions” group, as well.
Dude, they beat him to death.
No, you got your stories mixed up. All they did was stop him and talk to him. Granted, not a very efficient use of their time, but a far cry from beating him to death.
I have to agree. Whoever took this picture could not possibly have heard the conversation from that distance, and on a busy road to boot. Unless the photographer talked to the man on the sidewalk, he/she would be speculating on what was happening here.
Cops should be careful…you can only push people so far into a corner before they start to fight back!
Trace, I used to believe, hope and pray for that…. It’s just not true. Congress doesn’t over sight any of the federal clowns, there is no over sight anywhere. Even the voters keep reelecting garbage to office. The whole thing will have to collapse because the whole thing is rotten – our government is evil. You can’t give evil a pat on the head a treat and expect evil to behave itself.
I am as concerned as anyone about Low IQ ILEO, but this image does not convey a police state theme. Some information is needed about the moments before this image was taken. Too speculative. Car might have broken down. Anything is possibility here.
I agree. We don’t know what was said. The officer may have been asking the man if had witnessed something. A video with sound would clarify this situation.
I disagree.
“according to the witness who sent me the picture. He had walked on the grass a bit, but as you can see, the sidewalk is curvy and the grass is a public space.”
Now, go away.
LD, there are so many instances of police abuse, just pick one, oh, here try this:

Yes the picture in this Sheeple post may be anything you want it to mean, but all evidence points to a real probability the description of a man bothered because he walked on the grass is VERY likely.
Absolutely disgusting! Stupid pigs.
One day very soon, cops will wonder why the majority of Americans hate them. They will wonder what prompted otherwise law abiding citizens to take-up arms any pick them off one by one. I doubt they will realize that they brought dishonor to themselves and the uniform. It takes a special kind of crazy to become another man’s jailer and I don’t believe there is a cure for it. Sure, there are still some police who only want to uphold the law and solve crimes, but they are quickly becoming the minority. The rest just get off on the power trip without a care about the law, their own rules or the Constitution. It gives them a thrill up their leg to hassle people who do not have the ability to fight back and there are no consequences for their misdeeds. They are digging their own graves.
Fking IDIOTS, The POLICE are NOT THERE TO PROTECT YOU, they are THERE TO ENFORCE LAWS, and MAKE MONEY
WHY are there POLICE OFFICERS and SHERRIFFS AND DEPUTIES ASK YOUR SELF THIS QUESTION and DECIDE WHICH ONE SHOULD NOT BE …
“Is there a crime even happening in this picture? Seriously.”
It’s called:
POLICE HARASSMENT
And this is what happens when you not wearing your seat belt

“What you see in this picture is a man merely walking on the sidewalk. There he is, on the left.” You mean your ‘other left’?? Lol. He’s on the right in the above photo.
The only one from those screaming PIGS to spot it
I shall pray that their children beat them in their sleep. PIGS like this generally screw-up their kid’s heads really bad …..
So, I’m supposed to be a sheeple and blindly go along with whatever you guys post? I see a picture that could be ANY thing.
ponch and jon

this is what happens when you are not wearing a seat belt
Shoot the cop in the back as he drives away, work with other motorists to light his motorcycle and body on fire.
To protect & to Serve has turned into a lie. What is actually meant is for you to do as your told, to cower in the presence of their state granted power and grovel at the feet of your superior. When in their reach you must follow every command to the letter regardless of why. As for “Your” rights, you have but one. That is to submit or sustain false arrest, kidnapping, assault, and torture up to and including being murdered. To put it simply you are to “Comply or Die.”
Nice! We have folks selling drugs to 10 year old’s, sick child porn pedophiles and people committing welfare fraud but these two cops are focused on a guy walking down the street who may have, God forbid, steeped on the grass. What a great use of resources!
Yeah my cousin’s ex-girlfriend’s cat’s veterinarian’s assistant’s next door neighbor’s brother was there and saw it! So it must be true, right?
Just because someone says that’s what a picture shows doesnt mean that what is reported is necessarily truth. Not saying that this is truth or lie, but things are not always as they appear. Just saying….

*uck the cops. They are there to protect and serve. WHAN THAT CEASWES IT IS TIME TO PUT THOSE THUGS ON THE STREET LIKE THE REST O THE LITTKE PEOPLE. those THUGS ARE THERE BECAUSE WE THE PEOPLE PAY THEM. THAT CAN CHAGE IF WE THE PEOPLE STAND UNITED. DEMOSOCIALIST ARE YOU PAYIG ATTENTION?
The guy on the sidewalk is clearly a cloaked reptilian from planet Nibiru who has been spotted by these two brave defenders of planet Earth. In fact the two “cops” are annunaki agents who came to Earth on comet ISON, this is obvious from the invisible ray gun being pointed by the cop at the rear at the alien perpetrator.
The more I see this picture the happier it makes me.
We should just put all Americans in FEMA camps and gas them.
Gas them with CANNABIS.
It worked for the Native Americans.
Instant results.
CBICR, don’t talk about the natives, you Americans killed and destroyed them like pigs. I hate Americans they are like poison. And you’re an American too. One day America will burn and myself with billions of other people on earth will be delighted to see that happen. And then there will be peace.
AMERICAHASRISEN, you will never find peace.
You are too corrupt.
America has risen
Yes WE are coming for you!! America HAS risen and your on a target list !!! how do you like those apples !!
go pound sand where the sun does not shine !!
pigs are “house slaves”
You can’t fall much lower than someone who kills for money. Someone who believes in EXTERNAL AUTHORITY (government) because they are in INTERNAL CHAOS.
And most of them have Children. INNOCENT CHILDREN.
Are you ready to help yOUR fallen Brothers?
it’s power and control baby, what those two nitt-witts were trying to do is to provoke the evil
” grasswalker” to start mouthing off or better yet give them an excuse to get their fat ass’ off their bikes so they can frisk him, intimidate him then kill him.
I carry this card (any never answering their questions but instead continuously asking “Am I free to Go”) for these encounters…
Mr. Police Officer:
“I hereby invoke and refuse to waive all of the following rights
and privileges guaranteed to me by the U.S. Constitution:

an attorney of my choice. DO NOT ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS
WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT.

to the case Miranda v. Arizona. DO NOT ASK ME ANY
QUESTIONS OR MAKE ANY COMMENT TO ME ABOUT THIS
DECISION.

be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. I DO NOT
CONSENT TO ANY SEARCH OR SEIZURE OF MYSELF, MY
HOME, OR OF ANY PROPERTY IN MY POSSESSION. Do not
ask me about my ownership interest in any property. I DO
NOT CONSENT TO THIS CONTACT WITH YOU. If I am not
presently under arrest or under investigatory detention,
please ALLOW ME TO LEAVE.
-Any statement I make, or alleged consent I give, in
response to your questions is hereby UNDER PROTEST

(Your Name and date of birth)
1. The 5th amendment does not say they can’t ask you any questions, only that you don’t have to answer them.
2. The 6th amendment does not say you have to have an attorney of your choice, only that you have one.
3. It is not necessary that you keep asking “Am I free to go?” If you ask if you are under arrest and they say no, just leave. You’ll know right quick if you are free to go.
Thanks for your input.
The caption under the picture said, (cop pointing) “you say he went that way, over those hedges?” (man on sidewalk) “Yes. I saw him jump over those hedges and head down toward the road” (cop) “Don’t worry, sir. We’ll get the punk who pick-pocketed your wallet. Stay right here and we’ll be back.”
See? This picture doesn’t say anything at all or it could say anything at all. The fact that it is being used on the public as a tool to further the divide between citizens and the police says it all.
I am just as concerned about the militarized police force that is gaining strength in our states as well as the crazy pace at which we are losing our freedoms as any truther or critically thinking, awake, sane, question asking American but to use a picture like this one to prove that we are being tyrannized by the police is just ridiculous.
There are many other pictures which could be used as evidence for what this author is trying to say but by using this one, the author is saying virtually that every cop is on a tyrannical power trip and that is just simply not true.
The NWO takeover will happen, no sense in rushing it.
All may not be as easy as the author suggests. There could be many things going on. Like 2 cops working together as a unit, they stop together as a unit and backup, thats normal. But whats the man doing? Nothing, maybe. His hand appears to be down low and the cop is pointing. He might be saying” hey buddy, put that thing back in your pants” we just don’t know. But whatever it is, before we condemn the cops, we should have more information.
Todaay the police are criminals woriking for the Criminal Justice System which is run by criminals for the criminals running this country for the Global Criminal Mafia who are bringing you into The New World Order. Don’t you just love it-?
As for me…I’m just passing throuuh this valltey of turds.
You can’t expect cops to go after drug gangs and knockout game thugs, not when it is safer to write tickets on honest, and probably unarmed, citizens or just beat them up for the fun of it.
The cops were merely giving him a lesson in who owns him, they do. This ownership is part of the new training being undertaken by them in Israel. So whats up with that. You can’t just let people walk around thinking they own themselves. Its not compatible with the antichrist kingdom they are setting up, where everyones a slave, mind, body and soul. so whats up with that?
………don’t think I’m yoking, it really is that simple.
Do you notice how the economy is slowly deteriorating while the prison grid is being set up all around us?
You should take a look at this site:
http://rikijo.blogspot.com
It breaks down the entire New World Order satanic agenda.
-A must read for anyone interested in what’s going on and why.
Time to reduce the number of guns held by the police because it has become the first resort and do spare the BS about “Well he could have a gun”
Yes anything could happen like the police could get away with murder time and again.
The land of the free has become a land of farmers but not with sheep dogs but guns pointing at the cows who don’t produce enough milk
And to think Obama talks about giving the UKraine some of this freedom we have so much of in the good old US of A
To be honest, I cannot gauge either way if the cops were being corrupt or not. If I had not read the story, I would’ve assumed that is was a simple everyday human interaction- people recognizing each other on the street and speaking. In my own experience, My father’s close friend is a (now undercover) police officer. One time he even stopped by our house while he was (at that time) on patrol and chatted with my dad about politics, etc. We were sitting out front of my parent’s house with a bonfire going and roasting marshmallows to boot! However, if a stranger saw the interaction, they probably would’ve thought that my dad was in trouble or something.
Yaaay! another comment moderated out.
The picture doesnt say anything. All we have is your “word” that the guy was being stopped for walking on the grass. How do you know he just didn’t rape your cat at the nearby taco bell, and police were looking for him? Calm the f down people. Need video or other witnesses
