Chicago police have an odious reputation for brutality. It's well deserved. On Sunday, it showed up forcefully. The whole world watched.
Baton-wielding cops confronted protesters violently. Official policy is swing first, ask questions later, and blame victims for police thuggishness. More on that below.
On May 9, a National Writers Union (NWU) Chicago Chapter press release said:
"In 1968, the Democratic Party came to the City to nominate a president. What happened then became a part of Chicago's history: a massive public uprising of protest against an unjust war and a corrupt political system that created a massive local reaction within the City's police department. Violence and chaos resulted."
Forty-four years later things went from bad to worse. Imperial wars rage out of control. Obama, the peace candidate, itches for more. Belligerent nations never run out of targets or reasons to attack them.
Chuck Todd, Today's Chief White House correspondent had this to say about the 3 alleged terrorists/protesters that were caught in Chicago:
he referred to them as.. "anarchists, member of the Occupy Wall Street movement"...
He has fed mainstream amerika the "fact" that OWS members are all anarchists... many sheeple will conclude ALL OWS protesters are terrorists.
It's US against them. We have numbers and the truth, and hopefully the courage to prevail. They have more weapons, the media, and the desire to torture, maim, murder, and mutilate without pause. We have the support of pretty much everyone in the world. they have Israel.
