Wake up. Weve gone wrong. When the response to an unarmed woman - TopicsExpress



          

Wake up. Weve gone wrong. When the response to an unarmed woman with a van full of kids is armed violence by the police, weve gone wrong. When we were met in the streets of DC in our peaceful marches in protest of plans to invade Iraq by wall-to-wall phalanxes of up-armored cops from five states lining every street, weve gone wrong. When i send my young son home from a massive peace demonstration on the Mall because the cops are firing tear gas, weve gone wrong. When our Occupy encampment was torn down by the state poliz forced sweep at midnight, weve gone wrong. When the police become the military turned inward on its own citizens (yes: US), weve gone wrong. Its why, after a few decades, otherwise sane people can say such inane things as, Well, she was stupid to run! or Shes lucky her son didnt get his face blown off, weve gone wrong. Weve gone wrong, if that is the country you think we should be living in. Where cops are not servants, but masters. Ive seen this model before in my life: the Soviet Union, 1970s.
