Our society has most certainly morphed into a police state as rights have been slowly stripped away with illegal "laws" like the Patriot act and countless others. Free speech is being violated, freedom of assembly is being violated, most of the pigs have no idea what the constitution even is much less what it says!
These mindless drones run about like robocop only less brains just waiting to abuse someone. Talk about low self-esteem...these psychos have no self-esteem and are pretty much incapable to individual thought at all!
They need to carry a gun to make up for the lack of control they feel in the world. Most have savior complexes and are nothing more than scared children trying to control the big bad world that they fear.
Yes, America is well on its way to being a full blown police state!
