46. <~ This white female bourgie Liberal...

Sun Dec 21, 2014, 10:37 PM

Dec 2014

Grew up soul crushingly poor and on more than one occasion dumpster dived for food as a kid. I've been beaten by the NYPD at past protests during Bush and harassed at recent protests. I co-founded an activist group that was infiltrated and dismantled by the NYPD and FBI and tore apart long friendships and years of hard work for no reason at all. Now I have a lucrative career making great $$$ and am absolutely disgusted and offended that the NYPD has declared war on NYC residents because of one crazy person, especially considering my tax $$$ pays their salaries, and appalled at their attempts to subvert our Constitutional right to protest by daring to link that terrorist POS with recent protests. Protests which I have actively attended. The police brutality needs to end.

What have you done for your country lately?
