Syria, Yemen, Lybia....... Now United States of America????
I hope it is bloodless & successful so that our citizen could be given their job back from Indian and Chinese.... So that our citizens could start feeding their family again.
You plutocrat patsies in favor of our police state will have to forgive me. I just wasn't raised to NOT be DISGUSTED by scenes of police firing weapons at unarmed civilians rather than respect their right to peaceful assembly and protest. Disgusted me when it happened at Kent State and all over the South too. Disgusts me when it happens in other countries, but then it disgusts you patsies too??
For those who wish to ATTEMPT to defend the actions of the Oakland police department with the "they're just following orders" garbage, I would like to point out that the absence of a morality is not excusable - name one time police/military personnel have fired chemical weapons on unarmed civilians and were NOT "just following orders". Those "orders" are worthless without the patsy "trigger-men" to carry them out.
Am I the only one who noted that the city of Oakland appears to believe they have the right to determine when an assembly is or is not "lawful"? I need to read that Constitution thingy again because I missed the part about cities being allowed to determine the "lawfulness" of peaceful assembly.
It's amazing to me how the Tea Party patsies, who went and gathered where their corporate master told them to and repeat the talking points their corporate masters gave them, want to point out how their protest were "different" because they were NOT ATTACKED BY THE POLICE. News Flash patsies - in this country, if you protest and aren't attacked by the police, then you didn't really "protest" did you?
Hysterical! The same liberals wringing their hands over "police brutality" and the "right to protest" were out there proclaiming the Tea Party and its participants to be a band of marauding thugs. I don't recall any incidents of lawlessness or riots at any Tea Party rally.
Yet more stories of the police using chemical warfare against peaceful protesters?
I know it's not your fault, officers, you have orders to follow. My problem is with the people who sent you, as well as those few jerk cops like Tony Baloney.
I think the Occupiers really are nonviolent, that the intent is nonviolent, but the more the police are ordered to attack civilians for simply voicing their dissent in the loudest way they can, the more likely this will turn from a protest into a riot, and from a riot into a rebellion. I only hope I can see it coming.
I've seen about a hundred bits of film with police firing tear gas canisters into the crowd, throwing what appear to be flash-bang grenades, and marching around in completely inappropriate riot gear. I haven't seen ONE, not ONE instance of a protester throwing a rock, a bottle or other object at the officers. In my opinion, this is misinformation on the part of police to justify their over-escalation against a peaceful protest.
