Welcome the post 9/11 United States of America.

Here is a pretty awful video of a baptist priest who knew his rights at a border crossing. He paid an awful price for it too.

It makes me ill.

Please watch this video and speak up.

This is keeping us safe?

This is a brave man. I hope someone listens.

Baptist Priest Gets Beatdown: The Actual Video. Remember that video a few weeks ago with the pastor recounting his beatdown by the US Border Patrol? Here`s the raw tape

Brave? LOL

He was a DA!

Id take and beat him for real for lying!

Uhm Jesus had a real beat down.

That was mild compared to what many have experienced within America on a daily bases.

I do feel for him...

In my early married days my then husband was stations at the D&S Piers at Norfolk Naval Base. Even when his boat was in port he had a four day duty section so often had to go on base to see him.

This entailed a trip through the gate manned by marines. Those of us who were younger dreaded the trip. If traffic was slow they would inevitably find reasons to detain you and bring you inside the guard shack.

These detentions were almost always the same. Starting with asking what boat your husband was on to crude suggestions about how they singly or in pairs could help us pass the time they were deployed.

On several occasions there were gropes, shoves and "searches" Sorry, but leaving the car I drove unsearched and putting me against a wall groping my breasts and reaching in my jeans wasn't keeping the base safe.

Funny, they didn't search the older women or the guys.

This abuse of power continued for some time. Most of us were afraid to say anything. Until they picked the wrong woman to grope. The younger and very attractive wife of the Exec officer. The long and short of it is she wasn't afraid to tell her husband, the other wives and the base commander.

The rat bastard marines in question all did brig time.

The question here is who is watching the watchers? Who is holding them accountable? What are the consequence of these sorts of abuses?

He wasnt beaten down.

He got tasered.

He went looking for this video!
