As an Occupier, I can tell you that police LIE and are utterly lawless as they so choose.

Sure, it's just nice when the facts happen to line up on the defense's side.

Are you saying that we should ditch the concept of innocent until proven guilty?

Déjà vu. In '68, Daley gave police authority to shoot to kill any anyone with a a Molotov coctail.
