This Is An Illustration of Why We Need TO REPEAL the Patriot Act NOW
Advertisements [?]
When a student who was sitting at a computer in a library cannot produce a college ID during a "random" check and is subdued and repeatedly tasered AS HE WAS LEAVING, things have gotten way out of hand.

Apparently this practice is happening all over the country, from another post "In my area, they tasered a woman who rear-ended another driver. She was slumped over the wheel. They told her to exit her vehicle, and she didn't. So they broke the glass and tasered her through the opening. Then they dragged her out of the car, assuming all along that they had a drunk driver on their hands. (As if it's okay to tase someone because she is passed out drunk.) When the Fire Dept. showed up, they immediately recognized that the reason she hadn't complied was that she was in DIABETIC SHOCK-- blood tests confirmed no alcohol in her system. And the worst part of all: they tased this poor, diabetic woman in her abdomen -- next to her transplanted kidney. Good job."

First order of business, get our rights back first, worry about Impeachment later. We have got to stop the country from becoming anymore of a police state.
