Well done. CNN (and DU) got their riot porn.

[Fire Walk With Me]

81. I fully agree with your concern about a few violent types destroying the entire thing for everyone

be they well-meaning or not, cops or not.

I fully believe we can win this on strength of numbers alone, winning hearts and minds as they say, without which there can be no revolution.

I learned about Smedley Butler here on DU; he said to the Bonus Army to not descend into law-breaking lest they lose the support of all Americans. And John Lennon was and is utterly correct: Copy NEED to get you violent so they they'll know what to do with you. They must turn your joy and love into hate and anger so they are then dealing with equals.

When =I= say "FTP", fuck the police, I mean it as "Let's forget them better still", if I may invoke another classic musical act. They are violence trolls. We shout "Don't feed the trolls!" and go do our thing.
