| 55. the USA's cultural of institutional brutality is beyond the tipping point, either people give in and |
|
become chattel slaves as the days, week, months, years roll by, or there will be a massive, sustained, violent citizen-based push back against the police state. I for one think the first will occur, and the second choice will come far too little, far too late, and far too divided to yield much positive outcomes.
My mind reels at the sheer number of vicious fucking coppers you have there, and how many traitors to human freedom and decency cheer them on, as they go about doing the overlords' business of crackin' skulls on the masses.
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
