In reply to the discussion: DHS Tracked Occupy Wall Street to ‘Control Protesters’ [View all]99th_Monkey
(19,326 posts)The whole hysterical over-reaction by DHS, FBI and local police only forces "The Man" to take off
his mask and show the world who's really "serving and protecting" whom. These Occupy actions
are 100% non-violent and it appears the main "job" of police FBI etc. is to provoke and incite
some brutal showdown, where they get to use their "new toy's" to do "crowd control".
Then, to add insult to injury, the police (at least here in Portland OR) then hype the message through
the local media of how Occupy "forced" them to have to hire 100s of armed thugs (police) to stand
around doing nothing except incite violence, and then perpetrate MORE violence in making absurd
arrests, and jailings, all at taxpayer expense and 90% of the time NO charges are even brought
against those arrested precisely because the whole thing is BS, paying these armed thugs to stand
around collecting over-time pay, and THEN the capper is the POlice Chief goes to local press whining
about how much it's costing taxpayers to hire these armed thugs, never mind the 1st Amendment.
