We have more people in prison as a percentage of our population than the next three countries combined. That sounds a lot like a Police State to me.
and Britanyfan, If you were in Germany before the war, didn't you see the development of the Nazi empire? Didn't it look a lot like what we are looking at today? Spiriting off suspects to be tortured in Syria or Jordan so nobody can say it was done in the US sounds like a Nazi approach to me. Hiding memos saying that "If we want to torture people, it's OK" ...Hiding suspects in a camp where Nobody knows who is there or when they will get trials, fair or not. Sure sounds like a Police State to me.
If it looks like a Police State, smells like a Police State, and acts like a Pollice State...
