“A censor is a man who knows more than he thinks you ought
to.”- Granville Hicks
Can an individual be justified in using aggression against someone who hasn’t caused any actual harm?
Johnson felt bullied by those involved with the local criminal outfit so
to ”de -stress” he created music. One song, titled “Kill Me A Cop”, drew the ire
of those who demanded his obedience.
Soon after individuals wearing “Lakeland Police” badges came and snatched-up Johnson.
Larry Walters, who’s familiar with the situation said “Wanting to kill cops is not a prosecutable offense.”
Yet Johnson pleaded no contest to two counts of “corruption by threat of public servant” in exchange for two years in a cage. One wonders how this might have turned-out differently if Johnson would have had some people around him – to point-out the fact that he’d not harmed anyone and in fact, the actions taken toward him are wrong.
Making such a situation public can really be a game-changer as the transparency can leverage the number of people aware. Especially when coupled with a I’m-not-paying-your-ransom stance in legal land.

In late 2012 two guys in Pittsburgh – Rashee Beasley
Garfield and Jamal Knox posted a video rap video, that has since been removed
that got on the radar of the local crime outfits.
Why? Because it’s claimed that Garfield and Knox, who rapped under the names Solja Beaz and Mayhem Mal, dared not defer to the sanctity of their associates.
Before long, individuals wearing “Pittsburgh Police”, “FBI” and “US Marshals” badges claimed that Garfield and Knox deserved to be caged for “making terroristic threats, intimidation of witnesses, retaliation against witnesses and conspiracy.”
If no harm has been caused to any person or property why exactly are Garfield and Knox being targeted? Sure, one may not agree with the way some ideas are communicated, but that doesn’t justify that person be caged.

Information about Richmond police employee activities, much of it not too
interesting, was put online. Nate Cox shared a link to the content from Virginia Cop
Block. Mo Karnage did the same from RVA Wingnut.
Both Cox and Karnage were visited by individuals wearing “Richmond Police” badges who sought to intimidate them into censoring the information. Vague rationales for the demands were pointed-to.

Instead, Freeman was targeted and later caged after his efforts made clear the double-standards afforded to Murphy, who had on a “Manchester Police” badge when he assaulted Harrington.
Freeman still has years of “good behavior” hanging over his head despite the fact it was he who acted in the right.
Freeman sought to bring to light the misdeeds done and covered-up by the very individuals who claim the right to steal your money to “protect” you, and to the strangers who claim the right to steal your money to “educate” your children from the top-down.
It’s no surprise Freeman was pursued so aggressively. His peaceful actions trying to gain accountability rightly delegitimatized the Manchester Police Department and West High School bureaucracy.
