How much longer till the US is a full fledged police state?

[Name]

There is almost always more then meets the eye, but I am wary of believing the police account of the operation(which I think is pretty sad), just as much as I am wary to believing the accounts of the partygoers and promoters.

But, after sifting through some of it, it seems that the promoter had all the proper permits for this party, or at least believed he did, at least had the ones that the govt officials said he needed<tin foil hat>(they coulda lied to him and left one out)</tin foil hat>, from some of the accounts, the police ripped the permit from his hand when he protested to them and showed them he had the proper paperwork filed. Not sure exactly what happened, but even if not 100% legal, this seems a bit to extreme of a way to break up a party. Extremism is extremism, be it islamic, or police methodology(sp?).

Oh, and no word on if Osama was found there, or if he was allowed to escape again.
