The problem comes when they have enough power to send a couple polite enough officers who will insist you come in to clear up some confusion by answering a few questions on the record, you are forced one way or another into their vehicle, and you're just never seen again hide or hair.

In one permutation or another that's how it happens, and you'd be surprised how quickly it can happen here now that an unaccountable network of secret police and gulags has been constructed and normalized in American society.

We can live in fear or we can live in solidarity, seeking to watch over one another and holding them to account. If no one stands up they win. There are worse causes to spend the balance of one's days on if that's the cost.
