Mayor Bloomberg Says America Needs to Change the Constitution in Wake of Boston Marathon Bombingselfnews Post As the Occupy Wall Street protests gathered momentum, it was Bloomberg who attacked activists with charges of undermining the economy and tourism. When police turned to pepper spray and beatings (caught clearly on film), no condemnation was forthcoming. (Incidentally, a Manhattan court has just ruled that there will be no charges issued against these officers since, using force is part of their job.) Rather than reign in his out-of control police, premeditated mass arrests ensued which drew lawsuits from protesters. Now, more than a decade after 9/11, New York currently stands as one of the most high-tech militarized cities on the planet, in addition to having carte blanche to impose a whole range of unconstitutional measures across the city. Nevertheless, Bloomberg apparently still feels restricted by that quaint document some know as the formative rule of law upon which citizens can depend for their safety. Rather, he suggests that it is he and his police state that should provide additional protection. Bloomberg recently invoked 9/11, yet again, in order to echo concerns surrounding the Boston Marathon Bombings and the world in which we live. As Politicker reports: And it doesnt stop there. As we reported just a month ago, Bloomberg has already admitted that Big Brother is here and to expect police drones . . . and we had better adapt: Evidently the drone industry has wasted no time to make a PR push in order to capitalize on the tragedy. In yesterdays statement, Bloomberg appears to be stunningly honest in his assessment of the problem-reaction-solution method that leads to constitutional rights being eliminated in favor of handing over increasing power to the state: Given the track record of everything that has been put in place to turn New York City into a military encampment with roving bands of thug police given explicit permission to bash the heads of anyone who dissents, Bloomberg has proven to be the perfect man for the job of changing the U.S. Constitution. Naturally, then, it is the NYC model that is destined to be offered across the nation now that de facto martial law has been set as a precedent in Boston under the euphemism: lockdown. However, if we still live in an increasingly dangerous world, as he suggests, then how has public safety been improved by measures already undertaken? Instead, it is Bloomberg and his ilk that are responsible for making America one of the most dangerous locations on the planet by shredding theConstitutionand creating a permanent war zone.
