Anybody that wants to see how free we are in the US go to YouTube or Gateway Pundit and watch 'King Sununu caught in the act'. A New Hampshire Exec Council meeting with the governor presiding. The gist is 80 State Troopers at a public meeting of 150 people. 9 people arrested and escorted out, for what I have no idea, it was a quiet and orderly meeting as far as I could see.
My main observation, is the cops will do ANYTHING to protect their paycheck and cushy retirement.
