3. He hates the internet because he can't lie, which he tried to do,
when people can see with their own eyes that he is lying.

He hates it because he has learned that the people who pay his salary were mostly unaware of the fact that in this democracy, SWAT teams were being sent into family homes at night where there are children and pets, often killing family dogs and sometimes even people themselves.

And almost unanimously, across the political spectrum, the public was outraged. Sending a SWAT team to a house to find pot IS an outrage in itself, but when the public got a look at what those SWAT teams are doing to Americans in their own homes, especially to their dogs, the outrage was so intense, everywhere, that any normal person would at least ask themselves 'why are we doing this'?

But then, people who agree to this kind of oppression to begin with are NOT normal, so the Chief misses the point completely.

He hates the internet, he hates 'our freedoms' but I bet he supports the WOT. His SWAT team are terrorists but he can't see that.

I hope the outrage this generated doesn't go away until the Drug War ends, and some laws are passed against the militarization of the police in this country.

The only crime committed that night was committed by his SWAT team. When the public almost unanimously agrees something must be done about that.

There should be zero tolerance in a democracy for this kind of criminal activity against U.S. citizens in their own homes.
