We need police to catch murderers, thieves and con men, and so we give them special power — the power to use force on others. Sadly, today’s police use that power to invade people’s homes over accusations of trivial, nonviolent offenses — and often do it with tanks, battering rams and armor you’d expect on battlefields.

In his book “Rise of the Warrior Cop,” Radley Balko recounts the rise of police SWAT teams (SWAT stands for Special Weapons And Tactics) armed with heavy military equipment. SWAT raids began as rarely used methods of dealing with violent situations, like hostage-takings.

I recently saw this post on a forum:

“I met this Swedish girl at a bar one night through a group of college friends. Drop dead gorgeous blonde, one of the better looking women that I’ve seen. I was actually nervous, for once, talking to her. We talked on and off, danced a couple times, etc.

One week later: I’m at the gym walking past the treadmills and this girl calls my name. Id never seen her so I politely engaged in the conversation. Soon enough I realized it was the same girl, but without makeup. She wasn’t ugly by any means, just…. blah.   Continue reading “Makeup is Fakeup – Women are Guilty of False Advertising”
