Without getting too tangled in the web of issues that have come to fruition during Christopher Dorner’s showdown, I’d like to point out a personal story. Whistleblowing has and will always play a factor in the ongoing dialogue surrounding this tragedy. Here is a true story to share:
I am a woman currently living in downtown Los Angeles. Ten months ago my neighbor was blasting NWA’s “F*** the Police” and LAPD rushed the building looking for the source. I was playing my own music, Guns n Roses “Welcome to the Jungle” when cops banged on my door, pulled out their guns, rushed my apartment, locked themselves in my place while they did a search for what? Bose Speakers! The source of their rampage was a civilian playing rap music that they found offensive.

Police brutality is epidemic in the USA, from the city level to the Federal level. Notice alot of bald cops, sheriff deputies, Fed Marshals?? – it’s so they can’t be hair tested for drugs & steroids. As long as the media is afraid to report on these badge wearing thugs – we won’t be seeing any changes. Our only defense will be our second amendment right, which is exactly why it was written by our forefathers, to defend ourselves against tyranny!! We may have to start using that right.
