>>540778403Stop replying to slide threads Wayne. You know better.
>>540778508This wasn't a slide thread and he knew better which is why he replied
>>540778561It isn't? Alright then. What's your point?
>>540778641The police is a standing army, theoretically unconstitutional, and should be abolished for something lesser in powerThat is my point
>>540778753>The police is a standing army, theoretically unconstitutionalThat's fucking stupid. If you abolish the police, then who will stop me from lynching niggers and jews? You don't think anything through.
>>540778836The liberuls will stop you probably
>>540778987uh huh. Slide thread.
>>540778753Oh dude dont even go down the BAR society rabbit hole then. Foreign agents hidden in plain sight
>>540779051Well at any rate, extreme law enforcement is unconstitutional
wouldn't that be more similar to like a national guard or something? I'm pretty sure it was like constables and sheriffs
>>540779379Uh no, they were referencing police
>>540778753The national guard is the standing army you mouth breathing redditor.
>>540778836Having a police force is a modern concept
>>540779512Who enforced the Crown's laws? It was the redcoat, quite literally, a police force against the colonials. It doesn't matter what they used, it was still a police force.. Faggot.
>>540778329I'll do you one better.The Biblical term for police was "Tax collector."
>>540778329>were
>>540779654Uh oh, don't say faggot anon, you'll lose your reddit gold if your faggot friends find out.>redditor doesn't understand what an occupying force isI will not up vote your trash
>>540779887Yes you are occupied by government forces, who are policing for the status quo, which is what the colonials were still complaining aboutThere's no way around this Anon
>>540780008You're literally retarded and wrong. No wonder redditors have holes in their brains.
>>540780211I am literally smart and correct. I think you're the one who might have brain cancer!
>>540779654Oh, I see. You're using this as a proxy argument about independence.Well, you know those wily French helped us out a ton.
>>540779519whoosh
>>540780278>doesn't know what a military is>doesn't know what the national guard is>thinks state police are owned by the federal governmentYou are the most retarded dipshit and I thoroughly hope and pray you're on the next body cam I see.
>>540780278I can't wait to finally be freed from the contract that ties your daughter to me.
It was funny that Americans complained about having to pay for the French and Indian war, then got their independence and complained about having to pay for independence. hehe
>>540778508>Stop replying to slide threads Wayne. You know better.I didn't.
>>540780372Listen to me, the colonials were revolting against their own government were they not? If they weren't, then they weren't policed and it was an invasion force. But because this was over taxes, then the British Empire was policing their subjects in order to get their due in taxes. If this isn't a police force, I don't know what is? As someone said here, police is a modern concept. These modern concepts you're using don't really apply to what the colonials we're saying. What they were however saying, was that a standing army excessively POLICING them [given the context] over this stuff was bad. What you said has nothing to do with what they were saying at the time. It has nothing to do with jurisdiction.Just a standing army with a will, to police their own subjects.
>>540780372OP is right and you are dumb. There was no organization named "police" in the 1700s. There was a standing army which wore uniforms, had arms citizens didn't own and enforced the laws. The fact that the "police" are employed by the city (funded by city, state and federal funds) doesn't make them not a standing army. The police would kill you for not kneeling for BLM if their boss told them to.Only faggots and boomers like standing armies. In a just society militias enforce the laws.
>>540780372They were complaining about ANY force who could excessively police them. It never says anything about jurisdiction.
>>540778329reminder that the stamp tax was ONE whole shilling on top of a 30 some shillings the magistrate class already paid. literally one extra shilling and we revolted.
>>540780736Not being allowed to expand westward was also a particular grievance. Our manifest destiny was being blocked!
>>540780892while I'm sure taxation was a concern in all of the colonies, it seemed particularly bad in the Northern states. Even after independence all the rebellions over taxation happened there.
So basically, having a large police force all over this country to begin with no matter the level or jurisdiction.. Is unconstitutional.If you care about freedom and the Founding Fathers, you would agree, if you don't you deserve to be in Bongland.
>>540781201>George Washington, leading a Virginia militia force, ambushed a French patrol at Jumonville Glen in May 1754, killing French officer Joseph Coulon de Villiers, Sieur de Jumonville. This skirmish triggered a cycle of retaliation, including Washington's surrender at Fort Necessity and subsequent British military campaigns, transforming a frontier conflict into a full-scale imperial war known globally as the Seven Years' War.Americans were going west with or without the Britith.
