Title: How I Learned the Truth about the State Post by: Anonymous on June 17, 2011, 05:36:19 AM http://mises.org/daily/5376/How-I-Learned-the-Truth-about-the-State
At what point," I asked, "was I in violation of the law?" "When I left the car? Five minutes later? Ten minutes?" I wanted a specific definition for the cruelty in which I was supposedly engaged. He couldn't answer, but the heroic policeman — let's just call him "Vic Maldonado" — sprang into action. This innocent question left him no choice but to pull out both his baton and Taser and charge toward me. When I raised my hands as if to say, "I am unarmed, and that is an unnecessary show of force," I was ordered to turn around and place my hands on the police cruiser. I asked why; no answer was given, except to radio for backup and claim that an officer had been "assaulted."

Two local Officer friendly's came up in their car and claimed my dog which I've walked in the neighborhood for four years was a pit bull which are illegal in the county where I live. I told him she was a mix and came out of the PG county animal shelter to no avail. My neighbors came out and I yelled at them: Please witness this, they're arresting me for walking my dog. I mean they were slamming cuffs on the hood of the car and asking me to turn around. I talked my way out of it, but just barely. I wonder what would have happened to my dog if they arrested me. Nothing good I'm sure. This country is seriously losing it.
