Pigs In Kansas

Does anyone remember this post, concerning the arrest of a woman in Mission, Kansas, for accidently being a "last minute customer" at the post office? The name of the third officer who showed up and made a bunch of threats toward this innocent woman's children, then refused to give his name, is Tige Dean.

It seems obvious enough that the real reason this woman was arrested has to do with the method by which most Kansas municipalities acquire revenue. There is not enough of a tax base to even maintain decent schools in most of Kansas, so the idea is to arrest as many people as possible for petty crimes, regardless of evidence, probable cause, guilt or innocence, book them, and intimidate them into pleading guilty to the least serious of the number of offenses with which they have been charged. Collect fines, and bill people for being on probation. The foster care system is another moneymaker for Kansas, as long as the children grabbed and sold do not belong to anyone who "matters".  Nationwide, prisons have become an industry. The cops in Mission Kansas simply saw an easy victim with two beautiful, saleable children.

Marshall County, Kansas has similar practices. Not too long ago, a police officer assaulted yours truly for telephoning the grandmother of some small children whose mother was arrested. The officer wanted to traffic the children to social services, rather than call a family member. Later on, an investigator made statements to the effect that those children were not left alone by law enforcement, but that statement contradicts what the mother stated, at the time. It would be interesting to hear what the children involved have to say about the whole affair.

Back to the video above; who the hell calls the cops because someone knocks on a window, or because a small child puts a pebble in a drop box, anyway? Once again; what the hell's the matter with you genetically unvaried types in Kansas?
