Ever get the feeling that virtually nobody with power gives a crap about your life?

79. The horror to me was the recognition that they ALL have the same uniforms now...

Once upon a time, when this country was worth a shit and the future was still potentially more than a morass of human misery and strife, the police of different communities wore uniforms that reflected the character of the areas they lived in and the history of those places...

Pathetically, the neo-police state that was the United States of America became the Police States of America after the "Patriot Act" and "warrantless wiretapping" and "extraordinary rendition" entered the discussion and the "security" was sold to private contractors and the police were militarized nationwide.

We now literally have national jack-booted thugs who are police - to protect and serve the rich, to oppress and detain the poor.

I hope that when this all comes apart at the seams the police realize that they are not on the team with the 1%, they are the attack dogs and their masters will cut them off at the knees in a heartbeat even if they serve them faithfully through the coming storms.
