Actually, the people from those countries, who moved to the US after the war probably appreciate it the most, thinking, "I've seen this before..."

I shouldn't have to remind such a studied scholar of history as yourself that the Nazis didn't wake up one morning and decide to slaughter 6 million innocent people. They took steps and clamped down on their citizenry one step at a time until such draconian measures eventually allowed the slaughter to happen. The United States is going down an eerily similar path if you actually bother to learn history, and the Nazi comparison is very accurate. As to why the Nazis are mentioned as opposed to Soviets or communists in general? Primarily it's because the Nazis did stuff that not even communist countries have done.

I'm curios to know if you're one of those officers who cites people for not wearing their seat belt or talking on their cell phone while driving, but then gets back into your cruiser and does the exact same thing?

"We roll our eyes at the jack booted thug comments because they are usually made by angry little people who can't think of any other way to express themselves."

Angry little people, serfs, villeins, peons, slaves.

Johnny you think you're better than us, bigger than us, smarter than us, just because you have a badge, gun, and radio. Without those you are just a little douche bag bitch.

Being called a Nazi doesn't bother you because you know you are one. When you look like a Nazi, talk like a Nazi, and act like a Nazi, you probably are a Nazi.

If the Little People did onto you, as you do onto the Little People, you would cry fowl. Do as I say, not as I do.

Johnny, just because you are part of the Police State, doesn't mean you are not one of the little people.

What goes around comes around.

I've never been called a Nazi, which demonstrates people aren't using the term as loosely as you pretend.

Yet you have been called a Nazi, apparently many times.

The empirical evidence is no joke.

The psychopath is, as Scientific American puts it, "Largely devoid of guilt, empathy and love, they have casual and callous interpersonal and romantic relationships. Psychopaths routinely offer excuses for their reckless and often outrageous actions, placing blame on others instead. They rarely learn from their mistakes or benefit from negative feedback, and they have difficulty inhibiting their impulses." http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=what-psychopath-means

All that negative feedback, and you haven't learned a thing. So where does that put you?

"I've been called a Nazi more times in my career than I can count. It's usually for ridiculous stuff."

"Usually"? Please tell us more about the non-ridiculous stuff...

I agree that some applications of the term are not credible. Some certainly are.

From the Holocaust museum website:

"Police manpower was even extended by the incorporation of Nazi paramilitary organizations as auxiliary policemen. The Nazis centralized and fully funded the police to better combat criminal gangs and promote state security. The Nazi state increased staff and training, and modernized police equipment. The Nazis offered the police the broadest latitude in arrests, incarceration, and the treatment of prisoners. The police moved to take "preventive action," that is, to make arrests without the evidence required for a conviction in court and indeed without court supervision at all."

In some parts of the US this is already happening, such as Maricopa county, AZ

"It's funny and sad how the Nazi's have become a label for anything anti-police. Heck, you even insinuate that I am one in your post above. Don't you see how weak this is?"

Hey Troll, Cops are labeled "Nazi" because they act like one. Not because we are "anti-police".

The only thing weak is you sucking Nazis ****.

And that's why you will always be nothing but a peice of sh*t, JTroll. Because you think the Constitution is "anti-cop". You think the Bill of Rights is "anti-cop". You think tax payers demanding murderers with badges to not kill innocent victims "anti-cop".

Let me clue you in Troll. It's easy to be a piece of sh*t who does nothing but cause pain and misery.

The hard part is being an actual human being.

So how is this different from any other innocent who loses job, house, etc during the course of a trial?

A badge is not an immunity idol.
