N.W.A. had it right
As if there weren’t enough reasons to distrust police, a situation in New Jersey adds to the list. From WCBSTV.com:
ROSELLE PARK, N.J. A New Jersey woman trying to be a Good Samaritan was instead busted by police. And the whole troubling incident was caught on tape.
Monica Montoya, 25, happened to be walking by the scene of an accident in Roselle Park, N.J., when police asked her if she spoke Spanish and could help interpret for a woman who had just been struck by a van.
Montoya tells CBS 2 News that she agreed to help, but moments later, the 25-year-old’s attorney says his client was bullied by police and placed under arrest.
Police, however, claim Montoya was being uncooperative, so they cuffed her and put her in a squad car. VIDEO
We have seen so many stories of police overstepping authority that sometimes it just all runs together. But it’s a sad state of affairs when one can be arrested for not doing a police officer’s job. It’s long past time to listen to the words of N.W.A. Fuck the police (and this damn police state)!

Word up. I grew up on this music. I bought Straight Outta Compton when I was in the 4th grade.
Funny story: My brother owns a movie rental / video game store, and he also buys and sells used CDs, etc. One of his best customers is this fat cop named Colby. I was talking to my brother on the phone one day and he said he was going through a big stack of CDs that Colby had traded in. I said, “Did he have Fuck the Police? (Straight Outta Compton)” jokingly… And yes, he did!
I love N.W.A. but was in high school when I popped in my cassette tape.
Hey, sorry about my part in the Dondero shit at your place.
Nothing to be sorry about!
I just really regret Nazifying his picture – did you see that before I took it down? That was the type of below-the-belt tactic that Dondero himself has been known to do (i.e. against you).
My new approach to Dondero is going to be to simply ignore him. He is a human being, not a monster. But he is a human being who does not share my values or anything even remotely approaching them. I have no more interest in engaging him than I do with a socialist or Trotskyist with whom it’s been made clear there is no common ground and no potential for developing a greater understanding, etc.
I saw it and had a quick laugh. It was juvenile but I’m certainly not above that sometimes.
You are sort of right on the ignoring Dondero move, but as a LP member who admittedly cares more about freedom than party, I can’t ignore Dondero when he misrepresents the movement.
