Law Enforcment Is Being Used To Serve & Protect The 1%

[kpete]

ATLANTA: DEKALB COUNTY SHERIFF OUSTS FAMILY FROM THEIR HOME AT 3 AM
The scene early this morning at 3662 Wellhaun Road in Decatur resembled that of a major drug bust with officers sneaking around in the middle of the night. Instead of a bust however, officers knocked on the door of 62 year old Christine Frazer’s house at 3 AM to serve her with an eviction notice. Chris’ house was foreclosed on fraudulently by Investors One Corporation in October 2011, and she has been fighting it in federal court ever since. In January, activists with Occupy Atlanta set up camp on her lawn and committed to stay to defend Chris’ home from eviction.

Using what the sheriff himself referred to as “intelligence” Dekalb County law enforcement waited until activists were not present at the home, and the neighbors would be asleep to serve an illegal eviction after hours, putting 4 generations including her 83 year old mother, and 3 year old grandson out on the curb. They even rounded up her dogs and took them to the pound. To add insult to injury, the police blocked off the street and wouldn’t allow anyone to help secure the family’s valuable personal belongings from the side of the road.

Once again, it is clear that the government and our law enforcement officials are being used to serve and protect the interest of the 1% and not of ordinary people or even the laws that they have put in place. Occupy Atlanta is more committed than ever to the fight for Chris Frazer’s home, and the thousands of other homeowners just like her who are being disrespected every day.

Sherriff Thomas Brown and the Dekalb County political system showed their true colors today, and made it known where their loyalties lie. Today at 1 pm, Occupy Atlanta, John Evans, President of Dekalb County NAACP, and other community members will be holding a press conference in front of Chris Frazer’s home to put these officials on blast and let them know that we will not stand for this type of shady behavior.

2. When haven't they been a tool of the 1%. Fucking pigs.

3. When they risk their lives to save other people's lives.

That was an easy one.

4. they're no different than the Baron's dogs on a feudal estate.

they like serving their masters, who throw them scraps, and love taking chunks out of the local peasants to show their loyalty to their masters.

5. The Police Are Mere Tools

It might be wise not to speak badly of these flunkies, since many are former military suffering from PTSD. They've been trained/programmed to follow orders without question and any behaviors they deem other than total compliance will be met with overwhelming force.

The true culprits are the puppet masters that pay them. The Police is no more than a tool and it should be treated as such. The idea is to regain control of that tool. The police/law enforcement can be retrained/reprogrammed by their new owners. (The People)

6. DeKalb County...figures.

I knew without looking that the homeowner would be black.
Horrible stories have come out of that county for years.
Cops skulking around in the middle of night, hoping not to be caught.
despicable.
