There are many police who would stand with us if they could. It depends on the department and the individual. I do not advocate violence against police! But we should defend our right to protest! Stand your ground!
I am not advocating violence but keep in mind all cops define themselves as scumbags they don't use that term they call it a code of silence. Which means they will either be a party to wrong doing or gladly cover it up for fellow officers.
I am not advocating violence against the police, but I do advocate reporting police criminality to the State Police and the FBI, for obvious reasons, I hope.
Yes.
Follow the police, gently plead with them to help us. It's not illegal to talk with them! Encourage them to leak docs and info. about these crackdowns.
Even if it doesn't work, their superiors will be less likely to send them into action against protesters like this!!
There has been no violence against police what so ever. The people were defending their rights to protest and voice their opinions. A large group of police in riot gear(armor) and shields opened fire with tear gas launchers and rubber bullets, causing serious injury to a war veteran and others. Now that veteran is in critical condition with a fractured skull. Why would police who are protected and armed be afraid of unarmed and unprotected protesters who posed no threat. It is an outrage. These events will cause more people to believe in the movement and lose faith in the law enforcement officers. What happened to protect and serve. The more those who support the corporate powers lie about these events and the intentions of protesters, the more people will see the what is wrong with our system. This will affect even more protests and supporters. We know who will win, lets hope no more attacks of this nature occur and no more innocent people will be injured so seriously.
To be violent against police would be to lose when we are right on the verge of winning.
They can't take too many more PR disasters like this poor kid in Oakland.
Stay calm, know your rights, stay peaceful, and don't give up.
The only thing OWshitters are winning are stupid awards.
Getting frustrated, eh?
By all means, stand your ground.... but DON'T be violent. The police are doing their UTMOST to PROVOKE us to violence, please let us not fall into that trap!
