This makes my blood boil. He was picked off by a group of police when he was walking alone on a side street.

Quote from his sister: "just because you have the power to do something doesn't mean you have the right". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxOUlvj_fBM

Awake! Awake! Awake from the American Dream to the Brave New World. We have become a police state beholden to Mega Businesses.

Well, hate to say it but if that type of thing spreads it would be wise to escalate the situation, an eye for an eye, sorta like ants and a scorpion, the ants will always win

Escalate what situation?

It's not the people vs. cops, it's the people vs. the 1%.

The cops are only the footsoldiers, and they'll start defecting from the ranks fairly soon.

How about ducking or bobbing and weaving?
