Concerning the bastardly terror attack in Paris today: I was channel surfing for news on the Paris France terror attack this morning and I stopped to listen to a Fox News show called Outnumbered. One of the journalists on Outnumbered stated that this attack should end all the discussion on militarizing our police and that this same journalist basically wanted the local police forces to wear full military battle gear in our streets to scare away the “Bad Guys”. One of the 3 other journalist on this Fox News show disagreed with him and stated she liked her 4th Amendment rights, and I was relieved that at least one journalist remembered there was Bill of Rights to consider in this discussion. In my humble opinion our communities need Peace Officers & not a Police State. We the People have the U.S. Military, we have a Militia (National Guard), and we have the 2nd Amendment allowing our citizens to be armed. Most important we have our U.S. Constitutional Bill of Rights. The 4th Amendment protects our private citizens from law enforcement personnel arbitrarily seizing or even gazing at their property without a warrant. The 5th Amendment clearly indicates that the government cannot take away our freedoms without properly applying the law. Reference: news.yahoo/paris-shooting-je-suis-charlie-hebdo-attack-live-coverage-151842914.html “We affirm the individual right recognized by the Second Amendment to keep and bear arms, and oppose the prosecution of individuals for exercising their rights of self-defense.” Libertarian Party Platform Our prayers go out to the families & friends of the magazine journalists/artist and a police officer who were put to death in Paris today by craven assassins who slaughtered numerous unarmed citizens.
