ARE WE ALREADY A POLICE STATE?

Interesting that the best coverage of the Oakland police attack on peaceful protestors comes from Europe. Remember when you were watching the riots in Tunisia, Egypt, and Greece with amusement? It could never happen here. Right? Welcome to the United States Police State.

Why did police officer fire gas canister into crowd trying to help injured Iraq veteran? Protesters take to the streets of New York and Oakland in solidarity after Marine was left in critical condition

  • Ex-Marine Scott Olsen, 24, of Daly City, California, served in Iraq in 2006 and 2007 – and was hit in California protests
  • Anger over Oakland police ‘brutality’ fans across America as protesters march in solidarity with Olsen on Wednesday
  • Occupy Oakland activists trying to reclaim camp they were in for 15 days – until police evicted them early on Tuesday
  • More trouble on Tuesday at 5pm when 400 people marched towards Frank Ogawa Plaza, which police surrounded
  • Conditions in the Oakland camp were thought to have become unsavoury as tented town became semi-permanent
  • Some protesters threw turquoise and red paint at riot police officers last night and others reportedly threw rocks
  • Meanwhile in Atlanta, Georgia, dozens of protesters were evicted from a park and 53 were arrested by police

Why are people on the right writing these people off? Maybe we don't agree with everything that they stand for, but they're fed up with the status quo and doing something about it. They're being AMERICAN and using their 1st Amendment rights to try and make changes.

The police presence/response is all part of the actual plan.Whenever I've been involved in a protest our objective was to be disruptive enough to get them involved.Our motto has always been "where the cops are the press is soon to follow".The more agressive the cops,the more meaningful the protest becomes.Besides,who would take notice if they did'nt show up?

12:02 not everyone in Egypt agreed with the muslim brotherhood either. Now look what they have got themselves for a government. The communist have a special way of getting control under kaotic situations. Exactly what your Communist in Chief is striving for.

The police state started with FDR and really kicked in after the wall in Berlin came down. Now as the vice slowly turns we suffer loss of freedoms..call your rep now and demand repeal of Homeland secuity, patriot act, DEA, ATF TSA, Healthcare, seal the borders, get back on the gold standard, empose term limits, the list is endless, but you should get the basic idea...demand less government intrusion into our lives and abide by the constitution
dont wait until the next CIA driven, proded, financed, black op to find out whats in the fine print. We the people have become the enemy...and dont you doubt that
