Now The Police Oath To "Protect & Serve" Is For The Interests Of The 1%.

The brutal truth after what we saw happening to the OWS movement is the our police and security forces are there to protect the interests of the 1%. And it is also to suppress minorities and other undesirables who are mostly middle and lower class. You can steal billions and avoid all your taxes. But seek a cigarette tax free and you are killed.

Who pays their paychecks? Who can get rid of a police chief just by putting in a private call to the City Manager or Mayor? Of course they would reflect the will of the 1 percenters because that's who they have to please.
