Stealing from the poor

https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/11/11/18746239.php

this is an example of police stealing necessary items of survival from the homeless in Fresno.
But then, children playing with toys are worthy targets of lethal force, so who could possibly care about this?

Housing is a HUMAN RIGHT!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_Human_Rights

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_housing


you want a better world? a better country?
where else can you start?
Please, just realize that the U.S.
IS a signatory to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

of course, somewhere a document surely exists granting greater rights to
deregulated lenders and apartment builders who prefer the laws of supply and demand on the one hand,
and the helping hand of government subsidies on the other.

When did Libya officially disappear from the planet?

Must be all hearts and flowers, or is it a virtual annihilation?
not virtual on the ground, I gather.
This must be what they meant by the "Land of the Free"?
Free of Libya in the news?

How would you respond to corruption in local government?

Let's say you have solid first hand knowledge of wrong doing, as it has traditionally been understood over the last century
(ie post anti-trust developments and pre contemporary remedies that resulted in the undoing of those protections)
would you keep quiet to protect your job?
would you wait for the journalists to investigate, maybe pass along some information as an anonymous whistleblower?
would you call the police, or the FBI?
would you contact your local representative and expect action?
would you simply disregard the corruption as it seems too systemic to resist, the culprits unaccountable by law?

I suppose a poll would be easier, but apparently that is not in my stars today.
just curious about how people feel.
I have seen malfeasance, and been informed of things that certainly shock me into anything but silence.
But, particularly these days, I have not seen anything like the famous ABSCAM and Fresno's Operation Rezone.
It appears the word "trustee" has considerable importance.
but that is another story, perhaps never to be told.

Does anyone remember when wiretapping and stealing information

would get you impeached?
And/or end a Presidency?
