Militarized Police A Cause That Left And Right Can Agree About—Anaheim Police Shot A Man In The Back
Our increasingly militarized police are more and more out-of-control in this nation.
Above you see a picture from Occupy Los Angeles showing ongoing protests regarding militarized police in Anaheim, California.
Anaheim police shot a man in the back for no good reason at all.
Militarized police would seem to be an issue that folks on both the left and right would be concerned about.
Both government and big business benefit and gain power at the expense of the individual when public protest is intimidated by police that have crazy powerful weapons.
In a free and healthy society there is balance and a measure of trust between government and the individual.
This balance and trust is upset when the police are armed as if they were members of the military, and when free citizens are intimidated away from exercising basic First Amendment rights of free speech and lawful assmebly.

Welcome To Texas Liberal
Texas Liberal is a blog of politics and political history.
My name is Neil Aquino. Here is my profile.
I can be reached at naa618@att.net.
Additional focuses of the blog are books, art, poetry, personal relationships and, also, sea life and marine mammals.
( The picture above is of the Houston Ship Channel. A narrow channel can lead to a wide sea.)
The signature post of this blog is the Martin Luther King Reading & Reference List. This list is the best of it’s kind on the web.
Another good post is my reciting the words to the Shaker hymn Simple Gifts on Galveston Island, Texas as a ship passes behind.
I live in Houston, Texas and I do sometimes write about political issues in Houston and in Texas.
I also often write about my former hometown of Cincinnati, and about the great beach city of Galveston, Texas.
I define liberalism as a role for government in the economy to help make life more fair, and a broad acceptance of people regardless of who they are.
This is why it says “All People Matter” at the top of the blog.
A blog grows one reader at a time. If you like what you read here, please consider forwarding the link.
Texas Liberal began regular posting on July 25, 2006.
I also blog at the Houston Chronicle as one of eight featured political bloggers, and on Where’s The Outrage? which posts out of North Carolina.
Thanks for reading Texas Liberal.
