1. All I have to say is that if the protests in the 60s had had videorecorders and cameras...
the cops wouldn't have gotten away with all the shit they got away with. Boy did they do damage back then! Now they're photographed and within nanoseconds, the entire world is watching them, seeing their faces, and soon identifying them by NAME!

4. Unfortunately we mostly cannot see their faces or their
names or their badges.

They are simply the face of violence.

take a wild guess: who is funding them and protecting them???

5. Bingo
Wall St execs will spend millions to buy state and local officials because it could cost them billions..Make sense
Of course they are behind this..But if the Tea baggers take to the streets lets see how many of them are pepper sprayed

3. Now do you understand why in the late 60's the "peace
keepers" were called pigs.

These days maybe just monsters, or drones would be good enough.

If we didn't know better we would assume these "peace keepers" came straight out of Nazi German, and had been croyo'd so they could be loosed on the citizens of a demoralize just when those citizens realized their democracy was no longer in existence.
