COMM ID: [color=#99FFFF]Captain Rachel A. Baker, Liberty Navy. TARGET ID:TRANSMISSION SENDER/PUBLIC SUBJECT:MISGUIDED PROPAGANDA ENCRYPTION:None PRIORITY:High
Captain Rachel Baker here. While certainly there are instances of law enforcement in Liberty overstepping their bounds and overreacting to certain situations I would hardly call this oppression. Simply an increase in tensions in a time of war. The social situation and the way the government deals with people in this House is far better than say, the way the Kusari or Rheinlanders, or even the Bretonians deal with their people.
Yes there are incidents that shouldn't occur, there always will be. There's not much to be said of that.
However, to say that the Navy oppresses people? That's clearly misguided. How can a Navy that has no interaction or purpose in planetary law enforcement matters possibly be accused of oppressing people? There are no Naval troops marching through the streets of Manhattan, or Los Angeles, and dragging people off in the night. The only area in which the Navy has anything at all to do with law enforcement, is in space.
And even then, we're only responsible for dealing with say Terrorists, or Pirates. We're also responsible for keeping illegal drugs and other contraband from crossing into our territory, though we share that duty with the Police. Any other law enforcement matters in Space are dealt with by the Police, unless they call for our assistance.
Back to my original point though, the Liberty Navy has absolutely no role in Planetary law enforcement, and so it seems to me, if anyone is to be accused of Oppression, it'd certainly make more sense to, you know, blame the Police. However, I'm fairly certain that they are not the jackbooted thugs every criminal claims they are. So please...before you transmit propaganda over an open channel, do be sure you, you know, have actually been planetside on any planet in House Liberty sometime within the past...y'know, couple of years. You'll find things are drastically different than what you, and every other criminal like you, tend to claim.
I will however concede to you this though, you may be on to something with what you say about the economy. Being poor in this House is not a particularly enjoyable experience. And corporations certainly do have a considerably large degree of power that I do not think they should have. This however, is the closest you'll bring me to agreeing with you.
