Yes we do; it's just not always visible...

War machines

EDITOR: I am deeply disturbed and even embarrassed that Santa Rosa has a huge tank with SWAT across the front of it. I was coming out of work and met this tank on the way up the hill on Chanate Road. Do we want to live, work, buy homes and raise children in a community that owns a machine built for war? It makes me feel very unsafe and offended.

Shame on Santa Rosa. There is no need for us to own an imposing and frightening war machine, and we need to get it out of our community right away.

Take a look at this recent story and especially the photos. Have you ever seen the FBI in combat gear, not the black riot uniforms?

These are the same ones who did nothing to help me with the crimes committed against me and my child because of police misconduct; they did nothing when she was missing and being looked for by the same bad cops. But 150 officers were used to search 30 small urban grows; they even stole the medicine of legal users.

That was on the heels of this. A fast slide down a slippery slope to Martial Law. Just like the frog in the pot; things must heat up slowly so most of the public does not notice...
