What I witnessed last night was the police exerting their 'authority' in support of the status quo. The police were 'just following orders' while at the same time inciting a riot with there over the top actions. I saw evidence that the cops seemed to get great satisfaction in inflicting the most pain, not in peacefully dispersing the crowd.
As the true carnage filteres out today, we see evidence that some authorities are trying to get videos removed from YouTube and pictures from other sites suppressed if those videos and pictures don't fit their fictitious account of what occurred. No, we are approaching a point where we were in the ;ate 60's when every police officer was seen as a 'pig'.
This article reveals a study of why this authoritarian culture is flourishing, and how these para-military police structures are becoming more apparent today. It is all based on a study of education after the Holocaust in Germany during WWII. Much as the Nazis used the excuse that they were trying to keep order, the crony/capitalist structure today demands government (which they have bought) keep order. The same provocations and provocateurs exist, and the authorities are quick to use these people to escaalte their vio;lent oppression. as seen last night. The police deny the used rubber bullets and flash grenades, but there is enough hard evidence to say they are lying. It is all part of the scheme of things, to keep freedoms suppressed to insure the unfettered fleecing of the economy by the 1%.
The struggle will be long and hard, but as has happened throughout history, the authoritarian regimes fall and those who commit the atrocities pay the price. We can only pray that the fall comes soon before people die.
EDIT: another fine blog entry about Oakland Maybe the President needs to read this. I expect this has started the fire in the belly of hte beast and the biggest battle will occur at the Democratic Convention and Republican Conventions in 2012. Not in the halls but in the streets.
