(38,893 posts)and if you have as well, and been there, and seen the citizen journalist video and pictures, you would never ever sympathize with cops ever ever again.
There are a few good cops, and there may be cops on the line between good and bad, but the utter, howling lack of police stepping forward and condemning months upon months of nuisance arrests (7000+!!!) and blatant, utter brutality shows me when it comes to being a cop or fighting for the truth, they choose being a cop, and we pay for it, literally and figuratively.
I start to feel ill when I even begin to call to mind a list of what they have done to peaceful citizens, and our rights, so I won't even go there. I can't bear it. All those aggro, roid cops, smiling, looking for a reason, and some even saying so...and no other cops to ask them to stop, or turn them in.
I was fucked over by a cop while my fellows were being snatched and arrested. They broke at least three laws against me in the process, and then refused to give me the offenders name and badge number, even as I shouted the California code saying they have to at the top of my lungs. 36+ cops standing there listening to me, and not one made a move to fulfill my legal request. Meanwhile, this aggressor stood there smiling and smiling.
Guess it depends if you're an Occupier or not. They don't beat everyone up, but it sure helps if you're attempting to practice your 1st Amendment rights. You'll soon find out they no longer exist. There are months of photos and video to prove this. That's what should be bringing tears to people's eyes.
