In reply to the discussion: They planned to kill us "if deemed necessary." [View all]white_wolf
(6,238 posts)20. The police response to Occupy has been brutal and disgusting.
I don't give any of them the benefit of the doubt they haven't earned it. The police can hide behind their pretty slogans of "to protect and serve" all they want, but we all know that's a lie. The police in this country have becoming nothing more than violent thugs and deserve nothing but scorn. So yeah I'm more inclined to believe in police infiltrators than I am to blame the people of Occupy. The Occupy movement has give me no reason to not trust them, whereas the police have given me plenty. The police need to abandon their culture of "us vs them" and stop viewing every citizen with suspicion if they want to earn back the people's trust.

Yep. And it's even one of the reasons OWS 'chose' not to have LEADERS to begin with.
