Police will begin staging gun checkpoints at the city's borders tonight as a way to curb violence in the city, officials said yesterday...Yeah, as long as you let us temporarily take you hostage and act with appropriate servile obedience, we'll maybe let you live.
[O]fficers will stop cars and talk to drivers about antiviolence, the Mount Vernon and county gun programs and even ask if people are carrying illegal firearms, Chong said. He added that the checkpoints will be similar to DWI checkpoints.
"We are not going to violate anyone's civil rights, but there has to be a very strong and clear message. Law-abiding citizens have nothing to fear," Young said.
But if you act like a free man, well, we're going to have us a problem. Besides--what have you got to hide?
Everybody still believe "it" can't happen in America?
