Civilian Lives Matter

It's been seven years since Patten first published his analysis of the American Police State. We're now in the Post-Covid Age, and the question is not yet settled: Who's worse? The cops? Or their leftwing detractors? The response to virus showed that plenty of Leftwingers are very much pro-authority and pro-state. They were the ones cheering the loudest for lockdowns and vaccine mandates. Indeed, throughout the Covid response, the police were imbued with a crazy amount of power, almost enough to rival the craziness of their new supporters.

Here, Patten takes a general aim at the American Police, who he's had his own bad experiences with. He also takes specific aim at "antiracist" activist Tim Wise, who embodies the type of unhinged, authoritarian Leftwinger we all have to suffer. Now with a new forward, as well as his own specialized front cover, Patten brings his essay to print.

Are the police racist? Are they overpowered? Read and decide for yourself.
