We have become a police state and the police are being used by the 1% to show the rest of the population who has the power and control.
Meanwhile, some of those police think they are doing their job and others within the police are fascist thugs themselves who just see these people as punks and criminals that they have the right to beat and abuse. Sadly, the cops who think they are doing their job, dont realize they have become the tools of the 1% and that they really have more to agree with the protesters.
I have been watching the footage and especially the international press. While there may be some anarchists and trouble makers, the vast majority of people are protesting peacefully. But the police presence and tactics is very disturbing.
