Police Can Also Be Traitors
http://www.opednews.com/articles/Police-Can-Also-Be-Traitor-by-Joe-Giambrone-111028-393.html

"...or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
-Amendment 1


This law that I believe all police swear to uphold has been violated in fascist police state actions numerous times over our history. Too many to count really, there exists a fundamental perversion in the way police are trained and propagandized by those who issue their daily marching orders.

What happened in Oakland California was nothing short of state terrorism directed to send a political message. This assault on the Occupy encampment had nothing whatsoever to do with the thinly concocted excuses provided by authorities. Oakland police, along with "peace officers" from numerous surrounding municipalities, committed a spree of "wilding" worthy of third world dictatorships.

As the white house pronounced the virtues of democracy and people's uprisings repeatedly, when those rising up were residents of foreign lands this spring, they have said and done nothing to protect the brave people's movements here in their own land. The hypocrisy is so glaring it's comiccal.

1. The Constitution is our permit, it knows no curfews. Say it until it's a nation-wide chant.

2. And when the Black Bloc, LaRouchies, Open Carry, Free Silver, and other groups show up
OWS will share resources with them...they have the same rights as all of us.

3. Either we are ALL free, or none of us are free. I may not like what some people say,
but I will defend to the death their right to say it.

The furor over the Ron Paul supporters at one encampment, the open carry people IIRC have showed up at two sites so far have got many with their undies in a twist.

5. Ron Paulers set up a mic stand in NYC and began blaring; #Occupiers made big signs with arrows
saying "Don't listen to them" and stood there with huge smiles.

Magnificent.
