First there is this post with the video of the incident, Now you know why some cops need killing.
Then there is this post, with video of the police trampling striking janitors in Houston with their horses, Supressing Dissent. It also describes other incidents in Europe and how increasingly western governments are using laws supposedly intended to fight terrorism against their own citizens, those citizens who protest corporate control in their lives. The money quote:
The police are not there to protect us: they are there to control us.
Last there is this post about tasers (stingers too, another stun gun), The Business of Repression. Republic of Palau packs in all kinds of information we all should know, the history of the taser, how it's been sold to the US public as non-lethal, and how it IS lethal. Also how these weapons amongst others are being sold to third world countries, which fuels conflicts there.
Isn't this how we got into trouble with Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, didn't they also get their weapons and/or funding from the good ol' US of A? Americans and westerners are rather ignorant as to the meddling our countries do in our colonial conquests of other nations. In our ignorance it is easy for our government and their corporate clients to sell us on the idea of our benevolence, while actually raiding third world nations of their resources. Instead of supporting democracy, we support puppet regimes to do our bidding. Be serious, we don't actually want governments that are responsive to the people of their respective nations, we want governments that are responsive to our multinational corporations. They don't hate us for our freedom. They hate us for the fact that they will never have freedom because of us. We support repressive regimes like Saddam Hussein as long as they give us what we want; we only oppose them and start in on the flowery democracy speeches when they oppose us.
Holy Moley! I've got a great update on this already. Black Amazon goes on a furious rampage and says things I wish I had even thought of, because of a shithead who claims to be anti-racist but excuses the tasering by the police, because Tabatabainejad had the nerve to raise his voice. Yep, that's all the excuse the cops need according to this dickweed. Shout at the cops and get tased. Go and read Dear Brown Folk, Please Don't Make No Noise and feel the rage.
