One news thought concerns the May Day rally in Los Angles showing riot police attacking and shooting rubber bullets and clubbing people, peaceful demonstrators out on a beautiful day and standing up for their human and citizenship rights.
This does not seem to be merely an isolated act of the fascist Los Angles Police Department, but it also approxiamated a Klu Klux Klan opportunistic attack. I thought the TV news was showing a riot scene in South or Central America, in South Africa, Palestine, or other poverty location where poor workers get their family members out of the house and into the fresh air and radiant sun shine of the peaceful, non violent struggle for freedom.
This was agitation. T he LAPD was trying to provoke a back-lash, riot because future fathers of future slain children might not be subdued. And this was an all out assault - not only did they hit families pushing baby carriages, they hit main stream media - some filming and some broadcasting; they hit school students, and working men and women.
What are we coming to? Or have we already reached it, and just didn't know it until now?
