incredible link of what (police aka civil military state) of Anaheim, CA..

http://www.rightnow.io/breaking-news/anaheim_bn_1342937680156.html

Today Sunday July 29th was another day of march and rally. Check out how the Anaheim police look like an army.

This what tax dollars are going to. The military gives the cities left over military surplus yet it is the tax dollars that paid for it.

Or Homeland security gave them huge grants to defend the public from "terrorists". Yet who are the terrorists ? the public having a rally and march?

You think this is only happening in CA or NY ?? think again.

You should be very concerned.









ARE the POLICE GOING TO SHOOT THIS LITTLE GIRL ????

I'm so impressed by their coming out non-violently again and again to stick up for their rights as citizens and demanding accountablity.

The Anaheim PD has used brute force and violence, as tried to bribe for memory cards from the cameras, sent in provacatours..

and still the people stay non-violent. They are amazing!

ANAHEIM, Calif. (KTLA) -- Police arrested four people in Anaheim on Sunday during another day of protests in connection with the spate of recent officer-involved shootings in the city.

Around 200 people protested outside the Anaheim Police Department on Sunday. That followed a demonstration outside Disneyland on Saturday.

"What you're seeing is the culmination of years of frustration," one protester told KTLA.

Seriously this is nuts what's going on there.

To me it looks like the police are creating all the problems or making them worse.

The police need to learn to respect people.

If you think this can't happen in your town, think again. It's only a matter of time. We have to support people that are standing up against repression of political protesters. The police shouldn't be shooting at protesters or setting dogs on them. If we don't stop this increasingly brutal suppression of speech by the police, we may find that we waited to long and it's too late to do anything.

Gut the entire department and start over from scratch.

These cops are a bunch of military armed psychopaths and they should ALL be fired. Start over. Redesign the testing requirements for hiring and training police officers, and institute laws that forbid the use of military-grade equipment.

hearing from the people over this. How sad, all the people are asking for is justice for the murders by the police of citizens. It's hard to believe this is going on here. Whose idea was it to send this army out to Anaheim today? Who is the mayor and the city council members? They need to start hearing from people across the country.

But watching this makes me think they really don't care what the people think. All the local politicians who are responsible for this should be thrown out of office.
