The laws ARE being changed. The Posse Commitatus Act is now dead. Habeas Corpus is now dead. SWAT teams have been turned into military units with sub-machine guns with no accountability. The laws now allow "No-Knock" warrants. And the "announcements", if made during a raid are typically mumbled (trust me) simultaneously with the smashing in of your doors, concurrent with flash-bang grenades being exploded and in too many cases accompanied by automatic weapons fire. All of this is now legal and by the book. And we wondr why people are getting maimed and killed (such as the 92 year old woman in Atlanta blown away as she tried to defend herself against unknown intruders (undecover cops)kicking in her doors the other day)? Did you know that the previous laws making such actions illegal had been changed? Bet not. The problem is they have been changed without "we the people's knowledge". Yes the laws have to be changed back - and the only way to make that happen is to publicize, petition our "representatives (do they really represent us?) and sue the crap out of the police - personally and professionally.

Yes the laws have to be changed back – and the only way to make that happen is to publicize, petition our “representatives (do they really represent us?) and sue the crap out of the police – personally and professionally.

Nothing, that's what. This is a local issue. Do you see Mesquite SWAT or DeSoto SWAT or even Ft. Worth SWAT busting down doors to flex-cuff grannies?

Although our current govenor has been know to have been in a Red Man club in another city in Texas, YOU SHOULD HAVE VOTED FOR KINNKY. No, the only way it is going to stop is the law being changed.

(and of course not rake/tip/profit from sales of t-shirts and panties is taken etc )... proper permits would likely have to be a parade cause we would be setting up a table/structure and not just marching around.

I better throw out the Texas Hold Em set I got for Christmas last year! Actually, the "public" information (just try and actually get it) about who the officers involved are, what the warrant said (assuming there was a warrant), what was the probable cause, etc. etc. needs to be obtained. These fascist SWAT teams are not meant to serve warrants - they are meant for things like hostage situations. They are using military grade weapons against the citizens which is absolutely nuts. This is how people are getting killed ( see Radley Balko's book - Overkill: the Militarization of the Police in America). The only way this stuff is going to stop is by publicizing and suing ... or should I say soo-eee, soo-ee, soo-eee, here piggy, piggy, piggy So peopelare playing poker with chips…..Hmmmm.

As long as we all sit down with empty pockets, COUNT ME IN! I'll be happy to provide plenty of tables, chips, etc. Somebody else please step up and donate the shirts reading "Criminal" on the back and we're good to go. Willie is a genious.

You'd have to file to hold a rally/march so they don't bust you for trespassing, and I'm not sure whether in the poker/gambling statutes it says you have to hold it on private property. Hell, if Johnson can burn a US flag on the steps up to City Hall, then I'm sure you can play a little poker there.
