DC Checkpoints: Soviet Police State in The Nations Capitol

Quote

Over the last few months, city officials in Washington, DC, have instituted an array of tactics that has civil libertarians fearing the nation’s capital is looking at the Bill of Rights as little more than a suggestion.

The latest proposal from DC’s mayor and police chief would have officers patrolling Soviet-esque checkpoints limiting residents’ ability to travel to and from targeted neighborhoods. The plan was reported Wednesday in The Examiner:

D.C. police will seal off entire neighborhoods, set up checkpoints and kick out strangers under a new program that D.C. officials hope will help them rescue the city from its out-of-control violence. Under an executive order expected to be announced today, police Chief Cathy L. Lanier will have the authority to designate “Neighborhood Safety Zones.” At least six officers will man cordons around those zones and demand identification from people coming in and out of them. Anyone who doesn’t live there, work there or have “legitimate reason” to be there will be sent away or face arrest, documents obtained by The Examiner show.

Are these some of the Points Of Light that ole George Sr. spoke about all thiose years ago. Success, like happiness, cannot be pursued. It must ensue. And it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself.Victor Frank ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- The sword you think you're holding is actually a mere butter knife.

A checkpoint is a place where they check to make sure your papers are in order. If your papers are not in order, they have a van they throw you into.

“Neighborhood Safety Zones.”? So they openly admit they will police certain areas where the rich are and ignore other areas. So much for equal protection under the law. If they are going to abandon the areas they consider as not worth their trouble then at least let the residents arm themselves for defense.
