...and attack peaceful demonstrators?
Why are so many cops, who get meager pay for dangerous work, so zealous about protecting the property of the wealthy? I'm grateful for the work of the many good cops out there, but I wish I felt like more of them were on the side of working and poor people, rather than just folks being paid to keep the rich safe from the rest of us... PS - in case you're wondering, I've never been arrested or harrassed - I keep my nose very clean - but I have observed this... EDIT: Just to clarify, I was living and working in downtown Miami during the FTAA, and I saw THOUSANDS of cops in stormtrooper gear there to protect a bunch of FOREIGN robber barons from a few thousand AMERICANS who simply want trade policies that are fair to labor. It was terrifying.  |
