Watch the video to learn more, and here are a few brief notes on my thoughts.

In just six seconds, law enforcement chose to shoot seven or eight bullets into an innocent man in Douglas County, Colorado. While we don't live in a police state, the police have not been held accountable for their reckless and life-ending mistake. I'll share my thoughts on this issue and how these situations undermine liberty and freedom.

We should never allow anyone to prevent us Americans from critiquing our law enforcement agencies.

According to John Locke, “The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom."

When police wrongfully terminate an individual’s life, they violate the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, which explicitly protect against the deprivation of life or liberty without due process of law. Anyone who violates due process by unjustly taking life without legal justification and who breaches natural rights under both philosophy and constitutional law should be held’ should be held accountable for homicide.

Any district attorney's office that fails to bring charges for criminal behavior and prioritizes law enforcement's will over its citizens' rights should be dissolved and rebuilt immediately in accordance with our Constitution.

Locke wrote in Second Treatise of Government:

“Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people.”
