Are they elected, or are they rulers?

Just when I thought it was safe to go to bed, I saw a very scary post from Glenn Reynolds:

A GOVERNMENT THAT FEARS ITS PEOPLE: SONIC WEAPONS USED IN IRAQ POSITIONED AT CONGRESSIONAL TOWNHALL MEETINGS IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.
The link went to this very ominous development:
September 11, 2009 (San Diego) - "Long-range acoustic devices [LRADs] for crowd control can be extremely dangerous. These are used in Iraq to control insurgents. They can cause serious and lasting harm to humans...We want to know WHY our Sheriff Dept has this weapon," Sal Magallanez of San Diego-based Liberty One Radio said in an e-mail sent to East County Magazine, prompting a joint investigation.

The device was stationed by San Diego County Sheriff deputies at a recent town hall forum hosted by Congresswoman Susan Davis (D-San Diego) in Spring Valley and at a subsequent town hall with Congressman Darrell Issa (R-San Diego). The Davis Rally drew an estimated 1,300-1,500 people, including vocal conservative and liberal protest groups.
More about these "crowd control" weapons (which can cause permanent hearing loss) here.

I realize there will always be sadistic SWAT Team types who just want to use powerful devices like that because they can.

But what I want to know, simply, is what kind of disgusting excuse for a congressional representative would allow such weapons to be deployed at his or her Townhall event?

The kind that should be voted out of office, I'd say.

What is going on? Do they think the constituents who elected them and want to talk to them don't vote or something?

They should be putting these things in the halls of Congress for citizens to use, not at citizens' town meetings.

Where have you been for the last 40 years? The police are pigs. Their only interests ar domination and violence. Did you not see the the Katrine tape of two huge cops in New Orleans beating up (literally!!) a feeble grandmother?

They're better than us, that's what you have to understand.

Their job is to tell us what to do, our job is to shut up, vote for them and work so then can spend our tax money buying votes.

Welcome to America in the 21st century.
That pisses me off, I was promised a shiny suit and a flying car in this century.
