"O" DONUTS! GOOD COP, ALL THE DONUTS YOU CAN EAT. BAD COP, NO DONUTS! LOL! SERIOUSLY, CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, DO NOT GIVE CITIZENS, THE RIGHT TO ABUSE POLICE OFFICERS! TRANSITION TIME: (1) MOST BEAT COPS, ARE GOING TO HAVE TO EVOLVE, BACK, OR GO BACK TO THE FUTURE, RECOGNIZTING CONSTITUTIONAL AND CIVIL RIGHTS. (2) THE PATRIOT ACT, AND I AM SURE THERE MUST BE SOME GOOD PARTS OF THAT ACT, BUT REMEMBER THAT WAS ENACTED, SPECIFICALLY TO ADDRESS, TERRORISTS! NOT CITIZENS. CITIZENS, HAVE DUAL CITIZENSHIP, ON THROUGHT THEIR STATE, AND ANOTHER UNDER THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE INDIANS, HAVE A THIRD CITIZENSHIP, THROUGH THE INDIAN NATION, AND TREATIES; THEREFORE, IT WOULD BEHOOVE, DIED IN THE WOOL, PATRIOT ACT, COPS, COMING ON THE JOB IN THE LAST 16 YEARS, SINCE 9/11, TO SEE THEMSELVES AS PART OF THE COMMUNITY, TO SERVE IN PROTECTING CITIZENS' HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE, EITHER THROUGH WEARING THEIR "PEACE OFFICER'S" HAT, OR WHEN DEALING WITH CRIMIINAL ACTS, PUTTING ON THAT "LAW ENFORCEMENT" HAT, AND ALL ACTIONS FIT BOTH HATS! THERE ARE CIVIL ISSUES, DEALING WITH FAMILES, NEIGHBORS, SCHOOLS, WORKPLACES, SHOPPING MALLS, WHERE PEOPLE, INTERACT, IN CROWDED PLACES, AND SOMETIMES, GET ON EACH OTHER'S NERVES, TO THE POINT THAT THE PEACE NEEDS TO BE RESTORED, AND OFTEN, JUST THE PRESENSE OF OFFICERS, SHOWING UP ON THE SCENE WHETHER, SECURITY GUARDS, OR QUASI OFFICERS WITH SOME AUTHORITY, OR IF REGULAR POLICE OFFICERS COME ON A CALL . . . I AM A BIT ALARMED, WHEN, I HEAR, THAT, OFFICERS, EITHER BY POLICY OR LEGISLATIVE LAW, HAVE TO MAKE AN ARREST? HOT TEMPERS, EVEN WORDS BETWEEN PEOPLE, FOR THE MOST PART ARE NOT CRIMES, BUT CIVIL MATTERS, AND IT ONLY CALLS FOR INTERVENTION IN AN OTHERWISE, HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT, OR GETTING TO THAT POINT, WHERE NORMAL MEASURES OF INTERVENTION HAVE NOT WORKED, NEEDING A BIT MORE AUTHORITY TO GET THEIR POINT TO THE OFFENDERS . . . MOST OF THIS STUFF IS JUST OFFENSIVE ACTS, AND TEMPERS NEED CALMING, AND PEACE OFFICERS HAVE THAT POWER, TO SAY, WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING, THIS SITUATION HAS ESCALATED TO THE POINT OF CONCERN, YOU ARE NOW BORDERLINE, DISRUPTING THE PEACE, AND STARTING TO THREATEN THE "HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE" OF PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THIS CIRCLE OF PROXIMITY. AN OFFICER, HAS THE RIGHT, TO SEPARATE THE CULPRITS, ASK THEM BOTH TO LEAVE, HOWEVER, DON'T SEND THEM, OUT TOGETHER OR THE WORDS WILL CONTINUE . . . THEY CAN PUT THEM IN CORNERS AND ENCOURAGE THEM, UNDER THE COLOR OF LAW, TO CALM DOWN, OR RUN INTO TROUBLE, WITH CHARGES OF "DISORDERLY CONDUCT" OR "INTERRUPTING THE PEACE" THOSE INFRACTIONS OF THE LAW, THAT START TO RATCHET, ON UP THE SCALES OF JUSTICE, TO CRIMES! IF OFFICERS GET ON THE SCENE, FAST ENOUGH, THE PEACE CAN BE RESSTORED, AND MOST LAW ABIDING CITIZENS, CAN SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL, THAT IF I DON'T SHUT THE HELL UP, OR LEAVE THIS PERSON ALONE, I AM HEADING FOR, MORE SEVERE ACTIONS BY THE COPS, AND THAT IS NOT IN MY BEST INTEREST TO DO THAT! THEY HAVE DONE, EXPERIEMENTS WITH RATS, AND PUT THEM IN ENGINEERED, CLOSE SPACES, SO, LIKE PEOPLE IN A CITY, THEY ARE ON TOP OF EACH OTHER, OR UNDER EACH OTHER'S FEET, AND, THEY, START TO EAT EACH OTHER! NOT THAT PEOPLE TURN INTO ZOMBIES OR VAMPIRES, BUT, THEY HAVE A TENDENCY TO GET ON EACH OTHER'S NERVES MORE, THAN OUT IN THE COUNTRY! KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, FOUNDING FATHERS AND MOTHERS, IN CITIES, NEED TO CREATE PARKS, OPEN SPACES, RUNNING AND BIKING TRAILS, THAT ALL CONTRIBUTE TO THAT SIMILAR DUTY, TO PROTECT THE "HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE" OF THEIR CITIZENS, WITH ALL PLAYERS IN A CITY, SYSTEM CONTRIBUTING, TO THE WELFARE AND SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENT IN CITIES, THAT ARE CONGREGATING PLACES FOR SERVICES, TRANSPORTATION, JOBS, HOUSING, ETC. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! CITIZENS ARE AN INTRICATE PART OF THIS PUZZLE OR PICTURE, OF CREATING A GREAT CITY, WITH COPS, BEING ON CALL, TO FACILITATE A MEASURE OF POWER, BEHIND, ORDINANCES, RULES, COVENANTS, PROPERTY RIGHTS, AND LAWS! THEY ARE NOT TO BE SCREAMED AT FOR SIMPLY DOING THEIR JOBS! WE HAVE POSSIBLY, GONE FROM ONE EXTREME TO THE OTHER, WITH THE 60'S CIVIL RIGHTS, WOMEN'S RIGHTS, ENVIRONMENTAL RIGHTS, LBGT RIGHTS, ETC., ALL KEY RIGHTS IN AND UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, BEING AFFORDED, "DUE PROCESS" AND "EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW"; HOWEVER, THOSE RIGHTS, NEED TO BE EXERTED, WITH RESPECT, AND OFFICERS, IN TURN, NEED TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT, WHEN, THE PEACE IS SHATTERED, OR THE "HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE" OF THEIR CHARGES, ARE THREATENED, OR CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, IS BEING COMMITTED! IF YOU ARE BEING THROWN OUT OF, MARY'S PLACE, THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, STARBUCKS, SAFEWAYS, AND OTHER BUSINESS, PRIVATE AND PUBIC BUILDINGS, YOUR RIGHTS HAVE NOT BEEN VIOLATED, YOU HAVE BEEN ACTING LIKE AN ASSHOLE, DEMANDING, PRIVILEGES, THAT, YOU ARE NOT ENTITED TO, LIKE VERBALLY, THREATENING OTHER PATRONS OR VISITORS TO THAT ESTABLISHMENT AND WHEN, AN OFFICER IS CALLED ON THE SCENE BECAUSE YOUR ACTIONS ARE OUT OF CONTROL, DON'T GET IN THE COP'S FACE, SAYING THEY ARE VIOLATING YOUR RIGHTS, BECAUSE, YOU SIMPLY DON'T HAVE A RIGHT, TO YELL, SCREAM, GET PISSED, GET OUT OF CONTROL, AND DEMAND, SPECIAL TREATMENT, FAVORS, EXTENDED STAY, OR SPENDING TIME IN THE BATHROOMS, OF A RESTAURANT, POSSIBLY, SMOKING MARIJUANA, OR SHOOTING UP SOMETHING WORSE! THAT IS NOT YOUR RIGHT AS A CITIZEN! THE PENDULEM, UNDER THE PATRIOT ACT, CREATED, THE "FERGUSON EFFECT" WHICH WAS NEGATIVE TO COPS AND TO THE PEOPLE WHOM THEY SERVED! MORE SQUARING OFF, SIDING, OR ABUSE ON EITHER SIDE, ESPECIALLY, MURDER, OR COP KILLINGS, IS SO WAY OUT OF CONTROL ON EITHER SIDE, AND COMPLETELY UNCONSTITUTIONAL, ON ALL LEVELS! WE CAN DO THIS! IN SEATTLE, IN CHICAGO, IN LA, NEW YORK, WASHINGTON, D.C. AND SALT LAKE CITY, IF WE ALL, KNOW THE RULES OF THE GAME, AND THAT GAME'S RULES, ARE FOUND IN THE UNITED STATES, CONSTITUTION OR THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND! NOW, UNDERSTANDING THE INTRICACIES OF ALL THE NUANCES OF THE LAW, IS DIFFICULT, BUT UNDERSTANDING THE PRINCIPLES AND CONCEPTS, BENEATH, THAT HIGH LAW, AND LOFTY GOAL OF CREATING A MORE "PERFECT UNION" IS NOT! THERE ARE ONLY FIVE OR SO PRINCIPLES OR CONCEPTS THAT RUN, LIKE A RIVER, THROUGH THE DOCUMENT AND OUR LAWS THAT ARE TO BE BASED ON THAT SUPREME LAW: (1) RIGHTS; (2) LIBERTIES; (3) FREEDOMS; (4) PROTECTIONS, AND (5) PRIVILEGES . . . IF ANY LAW OR POLICE ACTION IS "REPUGNANT" TO THE CONSTITUTION, IT IS VOID AS A MATTER OF LAW--ANY LAW OR ACTION THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE "LETTER & SPIRIT" OF THE CONSTITUTION IS CONSTITUTIONAL! PERIOD! I CAN ALMOST GUESS, WHAT THE LAW WILL SAY, ON ANY SUBJECT AND ISSUE, FOLLOWING, THOSE FEW SIMPLE IDEAS, WITH THEIR UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES AND CONCEPTS. THE FOUDNING FATHERS, STUDIED, CICERO, A GREEK, AND TOOK TO HEART, TWO VERY SIMPLE PRINCIPLES, TO FORM OUR CONSTITUTION: (1) DO ALL THAT YOU PROMISED TO DO, AND (2) DO NOT INFRINGE ON ANYONE'S PERSONS OR PROPERTY! THAT IS PRETTY EASY STUFF TO REMEMBER. THOSE THOUGHTS ARE THE BASIS FOR, CONTRACT LAW, PROPERTY LAW, AND CRIMINAL LAW . . . WITH ALMOST ALL LAWS, HANGING ON THOSE PROTECTED RIGHTS, WHETHER, PERSONAL, REAL, OR INTELLECTUAL! LET'S TAKE THIS TO THE STREETS: PERSON "A" BORROWS $20 FROM PERSON "B" AND SAYS, I GET PAID ON FRIDAY, AND THIS IS MONDAY, BUT WHEN, I GET PAID, I WILL DROP BY $20 TO PAY YOU BACK! IN THIS SCENARIO, IF WE ARE DO ALL WE PROMISED TO DO, WE WOULD SURELY, WHEN WE GET PAID, GO DO AS WE SAID, AND TAKE $20 OVER TO PERSON "B" BECAUSE, HE IS RELYING ON US, NOT ONLY TO KEEP OUR WORD, BUT TO GIVE HIM BACK THE MONEY HE LOANED YOU! WHEN THINGS ESCALATE TO CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR, CAN BE JUST THIS SIMPLE . . . "A" BLOWS OF "B" AND DOESN'T BRING OVER THE $20 LIKE HE OR SHE PROMISED, AND NOW, "B" A WEEK FROM PAY DAY, IS OUT OF CASH, AND NEEDS SMOKES . . . AS THE DAY WEARS ON, THEN THE WEEKEND, AND ALL HOPES OF GETTING PAID BACK, ARE APPEARING TO BE GOING DOWN THE TOILET, "B" IS GOING TO BE PISSED AS HELL, AND ORNRY, AT "A" WHO BETTER HOPE TO GOD, HE DOESN'T RUN INTO "B" . . . BUT, AS LUCK, FATE, KARMA, OR WHATEVER HAS IN, "B'S" ADDICTION IS OUT OF CONTROL, AND HE SEES "A" GOING TO THE STORE TO GET SMOKES AND SAYS, HEY, WHERE'S MY MONEY? AH, I DON'T HAVE IT, THIS IS MY LAST $5! NOW IN THE LAW, WE LOOK AT THE "RATIONAL MAN OR THE REASONABLE MAN'S" REACTION TO THIS SITUATION . . . IT IS ANGER, HOSTILITY, BEING PISSED, NEEDING SOME CIGS, AND SEEING THAT THIS SACK OF SHIT, IT NO GOOD FOR HIS WORD, AND NO GOOD FOR HIS MONEY! YEAH, PEOPLE HAVE KILLED FOR LESS, WHETHER THAT IS A GANG MEMBER, SAVING FACE, OR RESPECT, OR JUST BECAUSE HIS ADDICTION IS OUT OF CONTROL AND THEIR IS NOT SATISFYING IT, OR HIS GIRL IS WITH HIM, WHICH ALWAYS, AMPS UP THE SITUTION, AND THINGS THEN, GO FROM JUST A BAD DEAL OR CONTRACT, TO, THE POSSIBLITY OF A CRIME, GOOD, BAD OR UGLY, THAT IS HOW WE OPERATE AS HUMAN BEINGS! AT THAT POINT, "B" HAS THE CHOICE, TO GO APE SHIT, AND ATTACK "A" WHO, SURELY DESERVES IT, HE CAN MAYBE LISTEN TO REASON, AND THERE MAY BE A GOOD REASON, BUT IT WOULD BE HARD PRESSED, THAT HE DIDN'T COME OVER, AND PAY "B" BACK, BUT MOST LIKELY, THERE MAY BE SOME TYPE OF ALTERCATION, AND THINGS CAN GO UGLY REAL FAST. DO ALL THAT YOU PROMISED TO DO! GOD DAMN IT, OR YOU MAY, GET THE SHIT BEAT OUT OF YOU; YOU MAY GET EVEN WORSE! JUST THE OTHER DAY, ON SOME, WORLD NEWS CHANNEL, THEY WERE SHOWING, BRIZILIAN STREET JUSTICE . . . SOME DUDE HAD, ROBBED AND BEATED, SOMEONE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT IN THEIR CAR--WELL THAT PERSON HAPPENED TO HAVE BROTHERS, UNCLES, FRIENDS, WHO TRACKED THE THIEF DOWN, FOUND HIM HIDING IN SOME OLD BOOK SELVES, OR SOMETHING, DRAGGED HIS ASS OUT, OF THE PROTECTIONS AND KICKED THE SHIT OUT OF HIM, AND TOOK THEIR SISTER'S MONEY BACK! BY THE TIME THE COPS CAME, PROBLEM SOLVED! WAS IT THE BEST WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM? NO, THE BEST THING WAS FOR THE PERSON, TO NOT HAVE ROBBED AND BEATED, THE DRIVER IN THE FIRST PLACE! PEOPLE ARE GETTING MORE AND MORE BOLD, AND I WAS WATCHING A SERIES, CALLED, "SHOCKING CRIMINAL ACTS" AND ALMOST WITHOUT EXCEPTION, THE STORE OWNERS, WHETHER THEY HAD TO BEAT OFF THE GUNMAN OR ROBBER WITH A WET MOP, DID SO, OR A FAMILY OF ASIANS, ACTUALLY TOOK ON TWO GUNMEN, AND PROTECTED THIER SHOPS ON THEIR OWN, OR THE GOLDEN PAWN, SEVERAL YOUNG PUNKS, CAME IN THE STORE AND HAD RIFLES AND THIS PARTICULAR PAWN SHOP OWNER, HAD NO SHORTAGE OF GUNS, AND HAD PLACED THEM EVERY FIVE FEET THROUGHOUT THE STORE, AND HE GRABBED A GUN, AND THE MANAGER IN THE BACK GRABBED HIS RIFLE, AND THERE WAS A SHOOT OUT, THE STORE CLERK, SAID IT WAS US OR THEM! WE DECIDED IT WAS GOING TO BE THEM . . . A LADY GOT SHOT THROUGH THE NECK, BUT THANKS THE THE COOL, STORE OWNER'S MEDICAL TRAINING IN THE MILITARY, HE STOPPED THE BLEEDING AND SAVE HER LIFE, AND PROTECTED HIS STORE AND PERSONAL, REAL AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY! IN THAT SAME SET OF SHORT BLIPS, THERE WERE TWO OFFICER ATTACKS, THAT SHOW JUST HOW DANGEROUS THE COPS JOBS ARE . . . IN THE FIRST SCENARIO, THE COP, PULL OVER, WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DRUNK DRIVER, AND AS HE IS PUTTING THE HANDCUFFS ON THE, WHAT APPEARED TO BE A SINGLE DRIVER, SOMEONE JUST THAT SECOND, BEFORE THE CUFFS WERE ON, ANOTHER DUDE IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT, JUMPED OUT, WITH A GUN, POINTED, POINT BLANK AT THE OFFICER, WHO REALIZED HE WAS NOT ONLY OUT NUMBERED, BUT HIS GUN WAS IN HIS HOLSTER AND ALL HE COULD DO WAS DITCH AND RUN INTO THE DARK OF THE NIGHT, YELLING INTO DISPATCH THAT, OFFICER WAS DOWN . . . THE TWO LATINO SUSPECTS, JUMPED IN THE TRUCK, AND DROVE OFF, AFTER UNLOADING THEIR GUNS INTO THE OFFICER WHO WAS HIT, 6 TIMES, AND ACTUALLY,, THANKS TO HIS BULLET PROOF VEST, LIVED! LOOKED PRETTY GOOD FOR BEING SHOT AT CLOSE RANGE LIKE THAT! THE COPS GOT THE AMBULANCE THERE IN SHORT ORDER AND THE OFFICER GOT THE NEEDED TREATMENT! PRETTY DAMNED SCARY, AND WE NEED TO THANK, COPS FOR DOING THEIR JOB, AND 95% OF THE TIME WELL! THE NEXT SITUATION, WAS TAKING PLACE AT A GAS STATION . . . THE COP HAD PULLED OVER A DRUNK DRIVER, A FEMALE, AND AS HE WAS ADMINISTERING THE FIELD SOBRIETY, OR FIELD, DRUNK TESTS, SOME OTHER DRUNK, UNRELATED, OR NOT WITH THE CHICK HE WAS TESTING, CAME UP IN A DRUNK RAGE AND SMASHED THE OFFICER, WITH A BEER OR WINE BOTTLE FROM BEHIND! LUCKILY, MOST BEAT COPS, ARE PRETTY HARDY AND IN GOOD SHAPE, HE WAS STUNNED, AND TAKEN BACK, PULLED HIS GUN, AND TOLD THE GUY, WHO SEEMED, UNPHASED BY THE OFFICER OR HIS GUN, COMING STRAIGHT ON FOR HIM, WITH THE OFFICER YELLING TO STOP, BUT GETTING NOW WHERE, UNTIL, A BAR PATRON, WHO KNEW THE GUY, GRABBED HIM AND WRESTLED HIM TO THE GROUND, SO DRUNK OUT OF HIS MIND, BUT LIKE A BULL, GOING AFTER A RED TARGET, OR THE COP, WHO DIDN'T WANT TO SHOOT HIS ASS, BUT HE WAS ALMOST PUT IN A SITUATION THAT WAS OUT OF CONTROL . . . THE DRUNK CHICK, TOOK ADVANTAGE AND KICKED THE EVIDENCE OF HER BA UNDER THE CAR, AND STEPPED ON IT, BUT THE OFFICER, A GOOD ONE, CAUGHT, HER DOING SO, NO HIS DASH CAM! LOL! BOTH, DRUNKS WERE SITED OR JAILED, THE ONE FOR ASSAULTING A POLICE OFFICER! SO, IF PEOPLE, WOULD JUST, TAKE THOSE TWO PRINCIPLES TO HEART, DO ALL THAT YOU PROMISED TO DO, AND DON'T INFRINGE ON SOME ONE'S PERSONS OR PROPERTY, WE COULD MAKE COPS JOBS REAL EASY AND CUT DOWN ON A TON OF CRIMES, THAT, REALLY SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN COMMITTED! DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE TO YOU! THAT IS A GOOD THOUGHT TO KEEP IN MIND TOO, AND TO FOLLOW! POTUS. THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO DO IT, IT TO DO IT! WE DARE YOU! IT IS IN ALL OUR BEST INTERESTS TO PROTECT THE "HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE" OF EACH OTHER, OF OUR OFFICERS, BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY SITUATIONS THAT MERIT MORE THAN JUST PEACE OFFICER ACTIONS, AND TURN, REAL BAD, REALLY UGLY, AND REALLY FAST! THAT IS WHEN, WE NEED THEM THE MOST! THERE ARE NO RIGHTS, UNDER THE CONSTITUTION, THAT ALLOW YOU TO TREAT OFFICERS WITH DISRESPECT, OR TO THREATEN THEM, EVEN IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A POINT, IN TRYING TO PROCURE YOUR RIGHTS, BECAUSE, AN ASSAULT, CAN BE A THREAT, MENACING ACTIONS, VERBAL IN NATURE, AND DOESN'T HAVE TO INCLUDED AN OFFENSIVE TOUCHING . . . THAT WOULD BE A BATTERY! KNOW YOUR RIGHTS, AND KNOW WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE RIGHTS! COOL AND CALM HEADS, ALWAYS PREVAIL, FOR BOTH CITIZENS AND COPS . . . WE DON'T NEED "TRIGGER" BRAINED CITIZENS, NOR "PISTOL PISSED" COPS! NEITHER ONE SERVES THE "HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE" OF OUR TOWNS, CITIES, COUNTIES AND STATES, OR NATION! ONLY UNDER THE MOST DIRE CIRCUMSTANCES, SHOULD WE EVER INFRINGE ON SOMEONE'S PERSON OR PROPERTY! MY FATHER USED TO TEACH ME, THAT MY RIGHTS ENDED AT THE END OF MY NOSE! GOOD THOUGHT, THAT INCLUDES, MUSIC, SWEARING, YELLING, OVER ALL NOISE, PARTYING, ETC. A COMMUNITY, SHOULD FUNCTION, LIKE A SINGLE PERSON, WITH EACH PERSON, PLAYING A PARTICULAR ROLE OR PART, MAKING THEM, HEALTHIER, SAFER, AND BEING CONCERNED WITH THE WELFARE OF ALL! I JUST WANTED TO MENTION, AND THIS IS NOT, A BLANKET CRITICISM, ON COPS, I AM NOT TRASHING YOU, I AM ON YOUR SIDE, I HEARD SOMETHING AT THE MARY'S PLACE COMMUNITY MEETING, WHEN WE WERE TALKLING ABOUT, WHAT TYPES OF OBSTACLES, ARE IN OUR PATHS FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE . . .

AT MARY'S PLACE

We support each other

We respect each other

 We pick up after ourselves

We speak the truth

We pay it forward

We make mistakes

We do I'm sorry's

We forgive

We do second chances

WE DO LOVE!

We that in mind, in asking the women, what some of their obstacles were, blocking their paths to success, one of the gals, had a situation, I sounded like recently, when she was in her apartment, and she heard about 10 police officers at the door, yelling, pounding, and demanding she come down to the lobby to talk to them!  She is the mother of 4, has never been in trouble before, and of course, not knowing what was going on, she panicked and hid with her Bible in the closet and called her case worker!  She assured her worker that she didn't know what this was about, and didn't want to open the door to the cops.  She said a quick prayer . . . now, many of these women, have lived on the streets, and for the first time in their recent history, they feel safe in their homes, or their apartments, and now, they have cop activity, and demands, to answer for something they know they didn't do, nor know anything about, and they are hyper vigilant, in whom, they will and will not let in their "castles" leaving abusers, drug addicts, and many on the mend themselves, so this is more frightening for, these women, fending for themselves, that it might be for say a women, with either a husband or a partner, or roommate!  She was living in senior housing or at least low income, older apartments, being the youngest person there, but, I could tell she was still shaken!  BUT, SHE BASICALLY, STOOD HER GROUND, AND PROTECTED HER CASTLE, LIKE THE 4TH AMENDMENT SAYS SHE IS ENTITLED TO DO!

Now, this woman, in her thirties, saw, this as divine, intervention, when, one of the FEMALE cops, said, wait, we don't have a warrant.  Reminding her male, Patriot Act, trained, colleagues, that, the general rule for a cop intrusion of this nature, is to have probable cause, with oath and affirmation, a judge's signature and approval after, the cops have listed with particularity or specificity, whom or what, they are searching and seizing!  These Bill of Rights, protect officers too!  When cops are all amped up, and they are going after the bad guys, which we are all grateful for, someone needs to CHECK THE ADDRESS, MAKING SURE YOU ARE GOING AFTER THE RIGHT PERSON, AT THE RIGHT APARTMENT NUMBER, AND HAVING A WARRANT IN HAND!  I hope I am not adding words, or embellishing the facts, but, I believe, she said, not only did they fail to have a warrant, but, I think they had the WRONG PERSON!  NOT FUNNY!  LOL!  But, these are small details, that, need to be checked and possibly rechecked, by someone in charge!  This is how, policies, procedures, following well established law and common sense, come, and stop, actions against cops too!  She thought, this was an intervention from GOD, so did her case worker, but, I think, it was a cool, head, and calm chick cop, who, decided, that, Patriot Act, or not Patriot Act, that I refer to as the UnPatriot Act, for being used to violate rights, but with no teeth to protect cops, maybe an oath popped into mind, or perhaps she reads my blog, I HOPE, many cops do, or some gut feeling that something was off about the police action, but, whatever stopped her, so she could stop the BRUTE FORCE, that would have maybe given this poor woman, hiding in the closet, a heart attack, or landed cops in the wrong apartment, was averted!

GOD LOVES HAPPY ENDINGS!

SO DO CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEYS, AND BAD ASS CON LAW CHICKS!

KISSES TO THE FEMALE COP, WHO, STOPPED, THOUGHT THROUGH WHAT WAS DOING DOWN, AND TO THE COPS, WHO WERE MEN ENOUGH TO LISTEN TO HER!  IT'S ABOUT TIME!

GOOD JOB!  HAVE A GREAT, SAFE, HEALTHY, DAY ON THE STREETS--WE DO LOVE!
