Stormtroopers gone wild! Part 3!!!

Rate: 3 Flag

Jesus fuck. First, on Tuesday, a tiny 84-year-old woman was among non-threatening individuals pepper-sprayed by the pigs in Seattle:

Protesters gathered in the intersection of 5th Avenue and Pine Street after marching from their camp at Seattle Central Community College in support of Occupy Wall Street. Many refused to move from the intersection after being ordered by police. Police then began spraying pepper spray into the gathered crowd hitting dozens of people.

Then, on Thursday, a tiny 20-year-old woman, who also is non-threatening, was blasted with pepper spray by the pigs in Portland, Oregon:

Now, closer to home, a pig at the University of California at Davis, which is near my home base of Sacramento, has created the latest viral video. Yesterday the pot-bellied pig casually pepper-sprayed a group of young protesters who were doing nothing but sitting on the ground and refusing to move. Here is a screen grab –

The video - posted on YouTube - was shot Friday as police moved in on more than a dozen tents erected on campus and arrested 10 people, nine of them students. (AP Photo/Thomas K. Fowler)

– and you can watch the video here.

The Sacramento Bee reports that UC Davis’ chancellor has called for a review of the pepper-spraying, but I’m thinking that what really needs to happen is that the cop who did it needs to have his motherfucking fascistic ass kicked. Hopefully, his personal safety is now at stake. He does not deserve personal security.

Our violent pushback against the 1 percent’s routine violence against the 99 percent of us probably will have to begin with their thugs, who are just as treasonous as are the 1 percent, although there’s no reason that we can’t also go directly after the treasonous 1 percent themselves.

It’s time to roll out the guillotines and make some heads roll.

That cop's name, address and phone number has been posted all over the internet. Not saying that's a wonderful thing, but anyone who watches that video, and compares that with the excuse that the police felt threatened and had no choice but to do *whatever* will not be entirely sympathetic with his plight.

What's the matter with these guys - do they think those video cameras and cell phones are toys?

Yes, the pepper-spray-happy pig's name is Lt. John Pike, it is being reported all over the Internet. Anyone who wants to go after him that badly will find him, so I don't feel the need to try to find his address (and/or other contact information) and post it here.

Should anything happen to Lt. Pig, I can't say that I'd have much sympathy for him.

A strange thing has happened to me internally as these photos have surfaced, I no longer have a sense that certain people like those police and our political leaders are human. As I look at them I see them as not having the same human thoughts and emotions I have.

I have a sense that they're an aberration, some sort of monsters that were perhaps once human inside their brains. Maybe not though, perhaps they were always defective. I don't care how they became that way, every instinct I have tells me as long as these things roam free the rest of us are not safe. We will not be able to be so detached about taking them out, whether legally or through violence. We will ascribe feelings to them they don't have.

We have seen these aberrations throughout history, now we see them live in our midst. I can only hope in their mindless feeding (at all levels) they begin to harm their defenders before it's too late. And they will, they always do. That will be what it takes.

While I suppose that some good people do become cops, I think that most cops became (and become) cops because of their low intelligence (they're too stupid to realize that they are only tools of the rich themselves) and their lust for power over others. They're like "South Park's" Cartman demanding that we respect their authoritaaaah.

Once the pigs start attacking non-threatening citizens, it's time to push back against the pigs -- by any means necessary.

The pigs indeed are subhuman -- which is why I call them "pigs."

You're welcome. (Thank The Associated Press, too...)

I was (still am) shocked that in all three states that comprise the Left Coast, we had incidents of pepper spray being used against OWS'ers by the plutocrats' thuggish pigs.

If this kind of fascistic violence can be used against the citzenry in blue states, what's next if we don't stop it?
