For those of us old enough to remember the murder of students at Kent State University in 1970, this is disturbing. Very disturbing. The violence and thuggery emanate from the people with the badges.
Does OS agree with the OWS movement? Nope.
Should the kids have gone home that night instead of occupying the streets? Yep, because that much adrenaline freely roaming the streets creates a hazard for everyone.
But this is The United States, governed by a Constitution that guarantees free assemble for the redress of grievances, and prohibits the police from also serving as judge, jury, and executioner. This is the country where the same law that governs us governs the police. Otherwise, we have a Police State.
This will not end well. A threshold has now been crossed, blood has been drawn, and to quote Nixon's old advisor, 'You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.'
Now, to see if the rule of law applies to law enforcement in California, and in the United States.
