1. I am speechless /t

2. The cops are out of control and in clear violation of the Constitution

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution explicitly provides for 'the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances'"

GAW damn cops and apparently they don't realize that 'you fuck with us ... we multiple'!

4. The First Amendment says nothing about

"You may only assemble between 6am and 10 pm".

3. This is what happens when a militarized police meet an aroused population. Tahir Square in America.

The Old Regime's days are numbered, globally.

7. SFPD has a long history of shooting protesters...

People's Park victim James Rector...




"At one point, the Alameda County Sherriff's deputies chased people several blocks down Telegraph Ave. as far as Willard Junior High School at Derby Street, firing buckshot into their backs as they fled. Many people, including innnocent bystanders, suffered permanent, disabling injuries.

At least 128 Berkeley citizens sought medical treatment at local hospitals for head injuries and shotgun wounds inflicted by the police. No policemen were hospitalized."


Let's hope Veteran for Peace Scott Olsen survives his injuries
