VIDEO NARRATION

Police employees claim to stand for justice, to protect those most vulnerable, and to be public servants.

But is that true?

What is a servant?

According to Dictionary.com: a person employed by another, or, a person in the service of another.

What is a master?

Again, looking to Dictionary.com: a person with the ability or power to use, control, or dispose of something, or, an owner of a slave

With these definitions in mind, would you say that police employees act more like “servants” or “masters”?

It’s no mystery why police employees behave like masters and not servants. Unlike butchers and bakers and candlestick makers, police employees don’t earn your money by serving you. They simply take it through taxation, fines, and asset forfeiture.

Consider how this perverse incentive manifests.

Say that a friend of yours is shot. For the most part, police treat it as just another day at the office - reports are written, paperwork is shuffled, sometimes a half-hearted search is done, but that’s about the extent of it.

But if a police employee is shot, entire towns are locked down, all points bulletins are transmitted to corporate media, property rights of those is the area are violated, innocent bystanders shot by police are brushed away, and taxpayer money is used to offer a bounty.

In George Orwell’s classic novel “Animal Farm,” the pigs are able to rule over all other animals with the phrase, “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.”

And just like the pigs in “Animal Farm”, when one group claims the sole right to make, and interpret the rules, we see that today those who purport to serve us, place a higher value on themselves.

For example, proscribing that the same action done toward a police employee is deserving of more punishment than if done to a non-police employee.

So, are police employees MORE equal than you or me?

An outsider looking in could only conclude “yes.” But such double standards are not conducive to a free society.

Pull back the curtain on the coercive monopoly that is the injustice system. Realize that the entire corrupt apparatus relies on perceived legitimacy, and choose not to grant it any.

What kind of society do you want to live in? One, where everyone is treated as an equal, or one in which some are slaves and others are masters?

If you truly believe that badges don’t grant extra rights, act like it.

+Stop Police Abuse I'm sorry, but I am not aware of any decent or humane officers or corporals or sergeant or lieutenants or captains or chiefs in kaufman county.   Every person who dares pass through that nasty breeding ground of peckerwoods is a perpetrator in their eyes and every stop is escalated way beyond it's logical conclusion in order to bring in as much money and assets into the county as possible.   I believe we should wall it off, leave all the existing occupants inside and  make it a giant trash dump for the city of Dallas.  Nobody in the great state of Texas will miss any loser from kaufman county.

Brady Lists are supposed to help ensure that justice is obtained, by keeping tabs on dishonest police employees, so that their questionable integrity doesn't taint legaland proceedings. But, like all aspects of the injustice system, which suffer from perverse incentives, it fails. To bring about real change, shed any vestiges of legitimacy you grant to that corrupt institution, and to the bankrupt idea that positions some as rulers, and others as ruled.

+Kacy n Jordan Dakota Plus I'd be armed....but that's a last resort-- and only to defend your life, the life of your loved ones and your property and up to you to judge.
LAST RESORT if you need to escape....and as you're obviously already on their radar, certainly don't go threatening anyone with your piece
Keep it quiet and only to protect what I said in a desperate situation.

Just don't let them f#kk with you anymore.

TEXT INCLUDED IN VIDEO

On July 21st, 2014, Cop Block was mentioned on the O'Reilly Factor.

It is interesting what Bill O'Reilly and Megyn Kelly choose to say, and choose to omit. Check it out. And think for yourself.

The O'Reilly Factor
July 21, 2014

"Spying" implies a secretive act. Filming the police creates an objective record, something that should be supported by those who value truth - police and non-police alike.

Controversial to those who fear transparency.

This clip is taken from a segment that aired July 16, 2014 on Dallas-Ft. Worth KXAS NBC5.

Joe Tye is active with Texas Cop Block. Jose Vela is active with Dallas Cop Block. [more with Jose:  Jose Vela on Dallas Cop Block & Policing the Police Jose Vela on Dallas Cop Block & Policing the Police]

The Dallas-Ft. Worth area is also home to Tarrant Co. Peaceful Streets, Mesquite Cop Block, Lewisville Cop Block and White Settlement Cop Block. Known Groups: http://CopBlock.org/Groups

From http://CopBlock.org/About: We do not "hate cops." We believe  that no one -- not even those with badges -- has extra rights. The failure to realize and act on that is to our detriment. By focusing the disinfecting light of transparency on public officials we safeguard not just our rights but those of future generations.

Is the priority of police employees their own safety or the safety of those they claim to protect? Dale Brown of Detroit's Threat Management Center
has some on-point remarks to that question http://youtu.be/onWC8nNpIco

"Enough stress on police"?  If police employes find their chosen gig too stressful, they're always free to leave and find something productive to do.

"Clowns" "Paul Bunyan"? Using ad hominem attacks  distract from the real conversation - the double standards claimed and acted upon by individuals based on their place of employment.

If you choose to travel on two wheels, connect with"Bikers Against Discrimination" to know your rights. Also, see: http://CopBlock.org/KnowYourRights

Police are trained to escalate their use of force to gain compliance. Police watchers, on the other hand, are encouraged to remain calm, cool and collected.

Those "idiots" are people whom police claim to "serve" Is it surprising that some may have animosity toward police employees, who hassle, ransom or cage them for engaging in actions that cause no victim?

Are you a police employee? http://CopBlock.org/WelcomeLEOs

This statement by Ms. Kelly makes clear why so many have coalesced around the ideas of Copblocking...

Police, despite well-meaning intentions, work for an outfit that's based on double-standards - the claimed "right" to steal from others in the community, to then protect them. They have no incentive to satisfy their "customers" and courts say that they have no duty to protect you.

The content is titled "When Should You Shoot A Cop" http://youtu.be/cElTyqJkMEw - a big difference. If you own yourself, and have the right to defend yourself against an aggressor, it matters not what attire that aggressor wears, or where they work.

Ademo isn't alone - millions have been wronged by those in the injustice system, and throughout history, by individuals who parrot "I'm just doing my job"

"Got caught"? Is Mr. O'Reilly so authoritarian that he believes individuals engaging in consensual interactions that harm no one else should be caged? What about the person who sold him his suit? Or his car?

Video recording anyone in public is "legal" but some self- proclaimed rulers may threaten or levy "wiretapping" charges in an attempt to deter the practice. See: http:/CopBlock.org/FilmThePolice

Legislation does not equal law. Be careful not to conflate the former with the latter as it bestows upon the writers of legalese the arbitrary authority they seek.

If the police and their friends in legaland are left to define "interfere" or "harass" might they be inclined to kidnap and cage people, and levy baseless threats?

Much love to everyone working to share truth, and to shine the disinfecting light of transparency on those who act in the wrong.

You are the network, and together, we're shifting away from a reality that positions some as rulers and others as ruled, and instead, maximizes individual freedom and personal responsibility.

The level of impunity granted to police employees by those within the injustice system pertains not only to physical brutality, tasing, or shooting, but to injuries or deaths caused by their actions, or inactions, behind the wheel.

Of course, that should come as no surprise to anyone who understands how the system is rigged.

At its core, every police outfit, district attorneys office, and courtroom, and everyone within those outfits who subsist via the political means, operate according to the bad idea that they have the legal right to do things wrong for you to do.

The perception of authority is everything - without it, the people who pretend to "protect and serve" (yet conversely say that they have no duty to protect) are seen for what they are - individuals, who, like yourself, are responsible for their actions. Clearly, the involvement of a coercive monopoly is not conducive to justice.

Can you help integrate http://reddit.com/r/copblock onto http://CopBlock.org, similar to how http://reddit.com/r/freetalklive relates with http://FreeTalkLive.com?

If so, let us know - email: copblock@gmail.com

Compensation for making this component a reality can come in the form of good vibes, Bitcoin, gear, silver or Federal Reserve Notes.

Incorporating the reddit functionality at CopBlock.org is sought to maximize decentralization (as links, posts, and other content can be easily shared, and identification of content thought best or most in need of follow-up can be crowdsourced) and to reallocate scarce resources (instead of trying to keep up with messages, or vetting, editing and scheduling posts, individuals can work to grow the network or create other content).

Additional Information:
- CopBlock.org is Wordpress-based
- The Reddit OAuth that is used on FreeTalkLive.com are open source, and visible at: https://drupal.org/sandbox/daveparrish/1946076 and https://drupal.org/sandbox/daveparrish/1930520

Like the "Keep Calm and Film the Police" shirt seen in the video? It's now available on t-shirts and girl shirts at http://CopBlock.org/Store

Cop Block just surpassed one million "Likes" on Facebook - that's great, but it is bittersweet. Even better would be for the need for the decentralized project to be nonexistent. How do we get there? One mind at a time.
