Tyranny lives on in South Carolina

It’s wonderful celebrating the victory of “the people” over racism in South Carolina, but  terrifying to watch the state cops take the flag down in a military procession.

Cops are not military. Well, they should not be, in the United States. But, hundreds of cops, from small towns to big cities, think they are military. Hey, they’ve got military vehicles, guns, gear. 

So does ISIS.

It’s a short slide from freedom to tyranny. Ask Tom Paine.
