Criminals with badges: How the police create crimes

Take heed, ye red-blooded American males. The
police are operating a new sting designed to destroy your life.
The police are
planting attractive women half-naked in parks. They entice passing males,
engage them in conversation, lay back, spread their legs and rest their feet on
the men's shoulders.
After being as
friendly and suggestive as possible, they ask to see your penis.
Don't show it to
them. You are being filmed by police. If you show your penis, you will be
arrested as a pervert.
Only American
police, judges, and juries could think that responding to a seductress's
invitation is proof of perversion. But, hey, you live in America where
Christians believe that killing as many Muslims as possible for Israel is God's
work. Don't expect a dumb Amerikan jury, or a self-righteous Republican judge,
or a mindless law professor to understand entrapment.
No, this is not a
joke. It is actually happening. Last May in Berliner Park in Columbus, Ohio,
Robin Garrison, a 42-year-old firefighter was lured into arrest by a half-naked
woman under a tree.
In reporting the
story, the idiot who wrote the headline for ABC News describes the above:
"Topless Woman Lured Perverts in Police Sting."
Get that,
red-blooded American males. You are a pervert if you show your penis to a woman
who is seducing you.
The reporter, Marcus
Baram, is not indignant about the sting. Neither is Gabriel Chin, a University
of Arizona law professor who says: "It's not entrapment to give somebody
an opportunity to commit a crime."
It was Anglo-Saxons
who made laws against entrapment. Thanks to law professors like Chin, gullible
reporters and jurors, and corrupt police, prosecutors, and judges, Americans no
longer have the protection of law. In the Orwellian world in which we now live,
a male who succumbs to female seduction is a pervert.
The American police
have never prevented crimes. In olden days, the police solved crimes by finding
the guilty party. No more. In our time, the police create crimes. And that is
why the US prison population is twice the size of China's, an authoritarian
country with a population four to five times larger than America's.
And not only in
Columbus, Ohio, are crimes created by police. The corrupt New York Police
Department ensnared 300 innocents during 2007 via "Operation Lucky
Bag." Police place IPods, cell phones, wallets, and shopping bags
containing items in New York subway stations. The items appear to be dropped,
lost, or abandoned. Anyone who picks up one of the planted items is arrested
for "subway grand larceny."
This particular
police atrocity is in conflict with New York law, which allows someone who
finds property 10 days to turn it in to the police or to find the owner.
The corrupt NYPD
says that the property left as bait has not been abandoned, but is the property
actively left by an officer who is still in the vicinity."
There you have it.
The American Police -- "support your local Gestapo" -- spend their
time engineering false crimes and not investigating real crimes. Americans are
more at risk from the police than they are from criminals.
On December 29, I
received yet another email from a law-abiding American family harassed by police.
The family refused to sell a $75,000 piece of property to a deputy sheriff for
$4,000. Farm operations were obstructed. The mother was stopped every time she
went out in the car. The son was framed and sent to prison.
Never make the
mistake of calling the police, and never get stopped by a traffic cop. You run
the risk that he will drop a bag of drugs into you car and arrest you on a drug
offense. If you encounter a police officer, be sure you have thousands of
dollars with which to buy him off from making false charges. Most police
charges are false charges. Americans need to wake up to this fact or the
American prison population will outstrip the rest of the world combined.
