"It takes less mental effort to condemn than to think."
(Emma Goldman 1869-1940 Anarchist revolutionary)
When is it considered to be "lawful and unlawful"force ? Im no expert, But im positive that its pretty fucking unlawful when a college student has 100"s of volts of electricity being shot throughout his body while at the same time being subdued by the weight of a 200 lb plus police officer's knee being pressed into the upper portion of his back and neck. As a political/social activist, I’ve had my scuffle's with the police and their so called "non-threatening" acts of control in tense situation's in which they get to use fun items, like pepper spray and rubberized bullets to fire at unarmed civilians that are disobeying their authority, So I am well aware of when a cop is within and way out of fucking reach of lawful behavior. In a college campus here in Los Angeles, A 23-year-old student was administered multiple taser shocks by UCLA Police Department officers in the Powell Library computer lab on campus. They reported that "He didn’t comply with our orders for him to leave when he failed showing proper i.d.". Thankfully a fellow college student not only saw what really happened (which to my amazement is completely different from what the pigs said) But also happened to get the incident recorded to her phone (God bless camera phones). While the incident occurred other concerned students begin to question the officers and demand he be left alone, Their response was "Get back! or your next" . The young lady recording everything began to shout "Here's your Patriot Act, here's your ... abuse of power,". The police Sargent of the officers involved said this "If he was able to walk out of here, I think he was OK," .Was that a joke or was this asshole serious? On two other accounts involving the L.A.P.D. , one in which a man is being pepper sprayed in the face while in hand cuffs in the back seat of a police cruiser and of course the incident in Hollywood with two pigs on top of a guy beating the living shit out of him while he's restrained. Now these are just cases that we have heard of, Imagine if you will the violence done to citizens in the disguise of night, When there is nobody around to see, hear or record. So while all of this is occurring the chief of police is supporting his officer's stating that "What his officers did was well within the law".........Fuck that and fuck him. Wether its that hit in the head with a baton or that kick to the stomach while hand cuffed and on the floor, The police have always and WILL always continue to abuse their power. It’s the way of the world, We give them the authority and they abuse it and in a case where a guy is getting the shit beat out of him and decides to fight back, we condemn him as a criminal. Don’t get me wrong, Some people just need their ass's kicked. the unfortunate thing about that it, is that its always the ones on the other side of the law that deserve it. A warning: In a society where those that are meant to keep the peace continue to defy, dilute and pervert its ideology, It is then within the right of the citizen to maintain his own order by any mean necessary. History repeats itself and with all the bullshit happening here in L.A., I see another April 29th 1992 in effect as we speak.
I've read about and wondered why a college library required so much security.
