there are times like what's presented here that you can only see these 'police' as out of control violent gang members;

San Jose, CA — If you ever have any doubt about how the state forces compliance with arbitrary dictates like vehicle registration, it is the promise of violence. If you do not obey every single arbitrary traffic code, you will be issued a promise of extortion via a citation. If you refuse to pay those who are doing the extorting, they will kidnap and cage you. If you refuse to be kidnapped and caged, they can and will initiate violence against you.

Over the years, the Free Thought Project has reported on countless instances in which people have been beaten or even killed over things as trivial as a burned out light bulb on their license plate. As the following case illustrates, the state is willing to hold children at gunpoint while beating and arresting their mother for failing to pay the state for a vehicle registration sticker.

In a rare instance of justice, however, the mother was exonerated and the cop who savagely beat her, Officer Matthew Rodriguez, has been arrested.

A warrant was issued for Rodriguez’s arrest this week and the officer has been charged with assault and battery under color of authority for kicking and dragging a woman who was in handcuffs across a parking lot.

The video, recorded by San Jose resident Josh Gil, shows police stop a family in a McDonald’s parking lot. When the video begins, the mother is outside of the car and on her knees. She is not resisting and not posing a threat when all of the sudden one of the officers appears to kick her in the face.

The unidentified woman immediately drops to the ground as the officer yells at her, “Shut up,” and “I told you so.”........read and watch more.....
