FBI interrogated man after comment about American "Police State" on Facebook

Be careful what you say

Man's fears are confirmed when the FBI wanted to interrogate him within hours of making an impassioned comment
Posted on August 27, 2013

HUMBOLDT, AZ — A man says that within hours of making an impassioned post on Facebook, he was being interrogated by police and the FBI.
Blaine Cooper, 33, contacted policestateusa.com with a concerning story about how his sentiments posted on Facebook had drawn the attention of the federal government.  He showed me the comment and told me that within 24-hours of posting it, he was being contacted by the police and FBI.

His colorful comment was in reference to what he believes is an "American Police State," in which the power of the federal government is growing in a direction which may one day lead people to fight back.

Cooper, who is training to be a wild land fire fighter, said that on August 23, he was contacted by Officer Jason Kuafman of the Prescott Valley Police Department and was told that he needed to come to the police station for an interview with the FBI.

He complied with the request for an interview, which lasted 45 minutes with federal agents present.  He was released after apparently being determined to not be a threat.
"They had every Facebook post I had ever made in a huge file, along with all my wife's information, and parent's information," Cooper told policestateusa.com.

Cooper said that he was told that without "defusing the situation" by complying with the interview, his house might have been raided.

"The FBI made mention they came to question me so they didn't have to kick in my door," Cooper told policestateusa.com.

"We are not a police state!  And because you've said that, we are now going to black bag, interrogate, and torture you in order to prove it!"

The only thing that the American government accomplishes by investigating people who make such statements, is prove that they themselves are consciously aware of the fact, that they are genuinely overdue for being violently overthrown.

What are they afraid of?

Once some time ago when motorcyclists were considered a legitimate target for harassment whenever we showed ourselves. A group of bikers were sunningthemselevs outside of a public house.

A foolish and lone policeman walked over to try and give them some "guff".

A particularly large biker plucked his radio from his hand and smashed it on the floor and uttered the immortal line: "you're friged without that aren't you?". Apparently he agreed, and made a speedy exit...   

I keep thinking that there is a lesson in there somewhere.

lol.why bother going through the motions of interogating folks.the gov is universally disliked with ferver.i would agree to an interview as long as it was agreed that i was allowed a pistol for self defence and a video recording.that way when they commence to threaten my family.i will have options.i think that is only reasonable counteroffer when speaking to the local sheriff about coming in for that interview.

While I'm all for free speech, it's obvious why they targeted this guy. He said dumb things that you don't say unless you want a visit from the police. He of all people should realize that we have no true freedom of speech.

This is proven time and again by cases just like his. No amount of complaining about it is going to change the fact. Writing with your inside voice in this day and age is just plain stupid.

You'd think They'd embrace TAP, eh?  A GENTLE overthrow.

A revolution in ideas, not blood.

I would say I would willingly comply if They understood My RIGHT to record MY perspective, as well as My RIGHT to bear arms.  I think things would be so much better if We all presumed One anOther armed.  And know everyOne else presumed US armed.

My thought is to have Us all say away.  If the true thoughts of all of Us came out, the true scope of displeasure will be understood.

Me?  I say what's on My mind.  And mainly I think the toadies could make a MUCH wiser choice in how They spend Their time.
