Ellen Barkin: If Obama Loses, Police State 'Around the Corner'

By Tim Graham, NewsBusters

Actress Ellen Barkin was really unhappy with the New York Police Department early on New Year’s Day, tweeting she was shoved (or jostled) on the street. But for politicos, this was the most eye-opening tweet: “this will be nothing if Obama loses the election. A police state will be just around the corner.” No s**t.#Terrified” (Asterisks mine.)

Barkin slammed New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, tweeting, "F*** all of u, Bloomberg & every1 goose-stepping behind u. I cannot believe what I am seeing.U protect nothing.U ARE the violence in my city."

She also retweeted Roseanne Barr trashing Bloomberg. Roseanne tweeted to Barkin that "ny cops are arresting dark skinned teenagers everyday for pot-getting kickbacks for it-one joint-go to jail NYC-bloomberg".
