The police are known to engage all sorts of sleazy garbage too.
There are most likely problems on both sides...BUT, I still can't help but look at how
many of the police departments took all their actions in the middle of the night
and how there were those "behind the scenes" conference calls (coordinated
by the Portland, OR mayor, was it?). The Occupy Movement, being a movement
of the citizens (and actually now worldwide) that have no riot gear, tear gas, jails,
handcuffs, courts, courts, courts...and hundreds of "laws and regulations" to draw
upon. They simply have themselves.
We all would be interested to hear your non-Frankenstein thoughts, about how to
rein in the corrupt political system and the like. America is rotting from the corruption
of money and the powerful.
