On November 9, Aurora police arbitrarily detained almost 3000 innocent people for over eight hours. I called them on it on Facebook. Here is a transcript of the exchange.
Aurora schools placed on 8-hour lockdown during suspect search

Aurora Police Department The Aurora Police Department has the utmost concern for the safety of our citizens, especially children and will take every precaution necessary to keep them safe and out of danger.
ME: There was a murder in my condo association in September 2011. Why was there not a lockdown at the neighborhood elementary school? This school is a lot closer to my condo association than Jewell was to those apartments.
ME: Also, if you are so concerned for the safety of people, why did you not do lockdowns on the nearby King Soopers and Best Buy? Why not a lockdown on the Aurora Mall as well? I mean, like, there could have been an armed gunman there too.
ME: Just because a judge rules something does not make it valid. The Fifth Amendment protects against infringements on liberty without due process. Mass detentions are just this: infringements on liberty. And if you are going to violate the most basic liberties of innocent people, what will you do next?
ME: Yes, the prospect of a gunman who has shot at police – or anyone else for that matter – would concern me. However, a government that arbitrarily violates the rights of innocent people FOR WHATEVER REASON concerns me far more.
…bravo, Doug! I was hoping for a more inspiring and forthcoming response from the Aurora P.D. but, alas…when one is dealing with *the North Korean P.D.* then one cannot reasonably expect a sensible reply to such questions. ‘Communo-fascists’ aren’t famous for convincing arguments, but they ARE famous for “a boot stamping on a human face –forever”.
Here in Northglenn the P.D. behaves in similar fashion with one exception: most of the ‘criminals’ they pursue are like us in this little Burgh and not murderers, kidnappers, rapists, et al. In order to justify their miserable existence they must ‘cite’ a lot of ’just folks’ to generate revenue. I’ve experienced this phenomenon firsthand!
May God bless and protect you and yours through the difficult times which, likely, will come. Semper Fi! C. M. Parker Northglenn
