A day after dozens of Miami police union members stormed City Hall and interrupted a commission meeting, Police Chief Manuel Orosa laid down the law: Do it again and youll be prosecuted.

(11,481 posts)I saw it first during the Occupy protests (or maybe it was Wisconsin). Two fatcats are walking behind a barricade of cops who were protecting them from an angry mob. One is saying something like, "I hope this blows over before they realize we stole their pensions too."
