JUST SAYING<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

BY RAUL HERNANDEZ<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The week got off to a mighty, bad start: The Cowboys got torched \u2014 30 to 16 on Sunday by the Broncos. The ten-point-favored Cowboys were humiliated. I punched out during the middle of the third quarter in the game and went to the gym. It was nearly empty. I didn’t want to be near a TV set.<\/span><\/p>\n

Early Monday morning, the gym’s receptionist Jaime (Bronco fan) teased, but I took it in stride with my tail tucked between my legs, a gaping wound in my heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I don’t believe the hype anymore,” I said with a stiff upper lip (yeah, right). “I’ve been a long-time fan.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Still,\u00a0pinche,<\/em>\u00a0Cowboys \u2014 Super Bowl contenders my ass.<\/span><\/p>\n

FIRST AMENDMENT CLOWNS AND OTHERS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"There are so-called First Amendment Auditors that go into police departments, post offices, and other places to “test” whether they can video record there, citing Freedom of the Press.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most are clowns with cameras who are trying to get a rise from public officials and others, including business owners, so that they can rack up views on Youtube.<\/span><\/p>\n

Enough views and subscribers who watch the video recordings result in earning big paydays from Youtube.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"police<\/a>There are others, however, who do a pretty good job and accomplish what they intend to do \u2014 educate public servants, including cops, along with business owners on the First Amendment.<\/span><\/p>\n

An introductory course in federal laws and U.S. Supreme Court rulings are taught. But, along the way, some “auditors” are arrested and bullied by egotistical and ignorant cops who make the rules up as they go along.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Also, it is fun to watch postal workers, in most cases, become fools protecting their fiefdoms.\u00a0 <\/span>Among these Youtube auditors, there are those that are very good and do tremendous community work in this area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some examples of great citizen auditing in the U.S.:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bay Area Transparency auditor is one of the best auditors out there.\u00a0 Here is a video that is funny and puts these power-hungry clowns in their place:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
