Why are police officers being targeted?

That's the question a lot of conservatives are asking. They keep asking and asking but unfortunately for them I'm going to answer them with a response they are going to hate. Police brutality. Let's use former police officer current prison inmate Drew Peterson as an example. Peterson was recently caught trying to hire a hitperson to kill the prosecutor that sent him to prison. When he was an active police officer Peterson was known to threaten those he stopped. When he wrote speeding tickets or other infractions he told the people being cited that they better plead guilty or he would make their lives a living hell. Drew Peterson was a dirty cop but there are other dirty cops out there and the police brass covers for them. If a bad cop shoots someone and kills them they get time off with pay. If you or I do the same thing we go to jail and possibly prison. Sean Hannity loves to have on his show Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke.Hannity throws softballs Clarke's way. Let me ask Clarke the question on dirty cops and what he is doing to combat the problem. That is if they are doing anything about it. I'll ask him the tough questions like: the blue code is never snitch on a fellow cop. The prison code is never snitch on a fellow con. What is the difference between these two codes and what is he doing to address the problem of police brutality? For every action there is a reaction. Police brutality begets violence against police officers. the people are going to rebel against oppressive authority. When the people see bad cops being ostracized and shunned then perhaps things can settle down. When these same officers go to prison for their misdeeds then maybe the problem will dissipate. But there have to be reforms before anything can progress forward.

Rand Paul video on NSA

Last night, I appeared on The Sean Hannity Show to discuss President Obama's NSA eavesdropping on billions of emails and phone calls of Americans citizens every day.

I've included the video below for you, which you can watch by scrolling down . . .

But as I explained last night, this country fought a revolution over issues like generalized warrants, where soldiers would go from house to house, searching anything they liked.

Our lives are now so digitized that the government going from computer to computer or phone to phone is the modern equivalent of the same type of tyranny that our Founders rebelled against.

Today, there's a new rebellion in this country designed to restore the very freedoms our Founders fought for. Will you be a part of it?

Right now, I'm asking Internet providers and phone companies to join me in a class-action lawsuit to STOP the eavesdropping, cataloguing and storing of emails, phone calls and Internet activity of every American citizen.

But I'm counting on you to "Stand With Rand" today, as well. You can do so by signing your Joining Statement to join my critical lawsuit..

I believe every name we can add to this lawsuit increases our chances of winning, so you're help is critical.

I believe it's time for you and me to stand up and say "NO MORE!" to the destruction of our constitutional freedoms, as I explained in this brief video.

My friend, if this is the new normal in America, then Big Brother certainly is watching us.

Our Fourth Amendment rights are being destroyed.

And it's only a matter of time to the rest of Constitutional freedoms you and I so deeply cherish are gutted, as well.

Please sign your Joining Statement today.

Help me FIGHT BACK.

In liberty,signed

Rand Paul U.S. Senator

P.S. Last night I appeared on the Sean Hannity Show to discuss Obama's NSA and their blatant disregard for the Fourth Amendment when they collected billions of emails and phone records of innocent Americans.

We don't need nor want Big Brother to keep tabs on us in the name of "security."
