curmugeonEvery day I see one more police department have all their personal information placed on the web, It seems that the cops haven't got the message, if you mistreat individuals who are protesting non-violently, or cover your name tags, or use pepper spray when it is against policy, the whole world will know who you are, where you live, where you bank, what you make, your phone number, etc.
While it may seem drastic to do this, I feel that if you commit criminal acts the public needs to know who the criminals are.
Then we have LAPD... a yputh group in south LA was doing a cleanup of the old Hyde Park library when LAPD came in all gangbusters... seems they are thinking that every group of youth are part of the occupy movement, and after a few tense moments they (LAPD) retreated, after they had made threats of arrest and $5000 bail...seems that LAPD needs to chill... since when has protest become such a crime that you assign gang units and terrorism units to break up demonstrations?
This is what 'our' police state looks like...2012 is going to be fun.
