America was born from anti-authoritarianism. The first 8 amendments to the constitution very clearly outline the founding fathers’ skepticism of authority, whether it be royalty, police, judges, or military. It is scary now that only blind deference to uniformed authority is given the patriotism stamp of approval. Even more scary are those that in one breath mutter original intent and in the next breath condone police executions of suspects or unwarranted mass spying or military invasions without declaration of war.
