"So what is the native born American to do? He sees himself more and more being victimized by a federal government that doesn't listen to him and a Supreme Court that decides he's got to subsidize all of the government's cockamamie schemes that are sucking him dry. Just about every major population center in the United States has at least one municipality that is on the verge of financial collapse." |

A petition was circulated in the Spring of 2001 asking for the city council to get rid of Officer Cavric, a new petition is expected to be circulated. |

" 'I don’t know anybody at the Justice Department who wants to see the Constitution ... denigrated,' [Michael Chertoff, second in charge of the criminal division of the U.S. Justice Department] said, saying the government’s perceived aggressive behavior stems from a desire to prevent future terrorist attacks."
-------
Compare his statement with this excerpt from a memo written to certain senators by Assistant Attorney General Daniel J. Bryant expressing his goals for the "Patriot" Act:
"The courts have observed that even the use of deadly force is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment if used in self-defense or to protect others... Here, for Fourth Amendment purposes, the right to self-defense is not that of an individual, but that of the nation and its citizens... If the government's heightened interest in self-defense justifies the use of deadly force, then it certainly would also justify warrantless searches.
Who doesn't want the Constitution "denigrated"? |

"The main consideration for law enforcement, for military is, 'I have a gun. What do I need anything else for?' But what happens when somebody else has the gun? You just don't have the opportunity to always have a gun in a knife fight, or vice-versa. So you have to be prepared for any circumstance." |
