You know the leftist cliche about police being the security
guards of corporate property and the moneyed class? I suspect
many cops are decent people individually, but they get misused
by the powers-that-be.
The SPD Web site of WTO "suspects" seems especially disgusting
since in most cases the pictures don't depict any crime at
all. Here's hoping that there's a stunning level of
non-cooperation with this snitch operation. I'm sure the SPD
was smart enough to pull the pictures of any agent
provacateurs that may have been snapped accidentally. I wonder
if it's illegal to provide the police with false, misleading
tips?
Anyone up for doing a Web site showing the evidence of police
crimes? There was a lot of overt brutality and illegal police
behavior photographed and videotaped. It would be a bit
reassuring to learn that SPD Internal Affairs was putting up a
similar Web site for help in identifying police officers who
broke the law.
