Oklahoma Police State--WTH

Latching onto the false but popular meme that there is a war on police, a new Oklahoma law makes any so-called “assault” on an off-duty officer a felony. Given that officers often claim almost any contact — even if they initiate it or if it was incidental or occurred in the case of pulling away from the officer’s grasp — is an “assault,” the badge-wearing caste has now been granted great license to abuse the public while off duty and more special privileges not granted us common folk.
Combine this with a law passed in November 2009 making it a felony punishable by a five-year prison term and $10,000 fine to “fortify” a home “for the purpose of preventing or delaying entry or access to a law enforcement officer,” and we see that Oklahoma has gone off the rails.
The law forbids Oklahoma residents to “construct, install, position, use or hold any material or device designed … to strengthen, defend, restrict or obstruct any door, window, or other opening into a dwelling, structure, building or other place to any extent beyond the security provided by a commercial alarm system, lock or deadbolt, or a combination of alarm, lock, or deadbolt.” In other words, Oklahoma residents are forbidden from taking the security measures they feel are necessary to protect themselves in the off chance that police want to one day make a warrantless or no-knock raid on their homes.
Or, as William Norman Griggs writes:

So it is that in Oklahoma, if you fight back when an off-duty cop shoves you in a bar, you can be charged with a felony. If, on the other hand, a SWAT team attacks your home in a no-knock raid, and its effort to breach your dwelling is thwarted because you installed “burglar bars,” you can also be charged with a felony.

Granting one class special “rights” or “privileges” not granted others deprives the others of their rights. Blue privilege is no exception and is further evidence we are living in a police state.
