For Lilian and the Indigos - Above Top Secret

RANT WRITTEN BY AMATERASU
Can we, in good conscience, accept barbaric behavior against an individual with the
rationale that "they broke the law and they deserve it?"
Can we watch an accused taken down by police to be kicked as they lie helpless, and then
to be tazed – not once, but twice, in their helpless state?
Is this acceptable within a society claiming enlightenment?
And can we condone this in the case of a "crime" that has no one involved crying for
help?
The reason I ask these questions is because this happens in this enlightened society of
ours. It happens on a daily basis. And it happened to a friend of mine.
The "crime" involved a business transaction, the nature of which caused no one to claim
foul. No one would come forth to speak of their victimhood because no one in this
transaction felt themselves a victim. All parties would have been satisfied with the
outcome had not one of those involved been on a mission to entrap the other in this
"crime."
This "crime" was made a crime with the whitewash of "protection" over the moneyed
interests looking to protect themselves from a by-product threat that this "crime"
represented.
And that crime, for those who may not yet grasp what I am speaking of, was to sell
marijuana. And for this "crime," my friend was taken to the ground by police officers,
kicked in a barbaric display of – self-righteousness, perhaps? The gloatings of power,
maybe? – and shot with a tazer as he lay defenseless, shot twice.
And so I must examine what motivated us to choose such a law in the first place, and
why anyone might justify such treatment of a human, who had harmed no one, in the
name of that law. "Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law," be damned.
If I had any evidence that this was an isolated incident, that this virtually never happens, I
would be far less angry.
But this happens all over our country – and worldwide, as well – daily, hourly, even.
But let's go back to why this law was passed and how. Let us examine what has been
used to justify it, and the facts about marijuana. And let's also examine our desire to
force our views on others.
