Change. Transforma​tion...................from Rico

There is a "fundamental transformation" taking place in America today. - It is being CHANGED from a free country into a totalitarian police state. The nitwits that asked for CHANGE without asking what kind of change, or change into what, are discovering that 'change' isn't always for the better. - Neither is 'fundamental transformation' always a positive thing...at least NOT when it means transforming Mayberry, USA into Communist-occupied Eastern Europe. The police once used to "protect and serve" the public, but that was before they were given tanks, MRAPS and other military gear. They are now being transformed into militarized "compliance officers"....armed enforcers for the state, and no longer public servants protecting private citizens. - The former citizens are now the subjects of the state...at least according to the state. When did this start to happen? - Oh, I'd say about the time when the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" was transformed into "guilty until proven innocent" (unless you're 'connected') and everyone in America became a criminal in the state's eyes. The state no longer respects or fears the people,and instead demands the people not only respect the state, but obey it. Or else. - And now the people fear the state. Well....some of them do, it's the rest that the state fears.
