Fuck Cops!

"Good Old America...."
Pigs, in their simple-minded, childish view of reality, always imagine themselves to be “the good guys” fighting an endless war against “the bad guys.”
But the sorry truth is quite different from what their twisted little brainwashed minds imagine. Far too often, pigs are the bad guys, and very few of them will ever have the moral courage to face that fact. All across America their criminal masters have given the pigs the green light to beat up and torture their powerless victims (out of view of the news cameras). And even those who don’t stoop that low almost universally cover up the crime for those who do. That’s crooked, and that’s police tradition. The code of silence.
The pigs throw good, decent people in jail for exercising their Constitutional right to freedom of speech and assembly. Only the very best people in this country have the uncommon courage and morality to publicly protest America’s international war crimes and thoroughly evil, corrupt system — and the criminal, uniformed thugs of that system are only too eager to demonstrate to them just how evil it truly is.
Pigs at protests are often high on drugs — amphetamines — issued to them by their police departments for the purpose of making them more aggressive and intimidating in crowd control. This is a major cause of “pig riots”, when pigs go berserk during demonstrations, indiscriminately attacking and beating anyone and everyone they can get their hands on.

“On August 30 a police officer shot and killed Errol Shaw Jr., a mentally ill deaf mute, whom police claimed was ’menacing them’ with a garden rake. Shaw was 15 feet from the five police who surrounded him when he was shot twice in the chest.
“Family members and neighbors cried out to police that Shaw could not hear or respond verbally to their commands and told them not to shoot. But their appeals were ignored.
“As the father of six lay on the sidewalk bleeding, police did little to assist him and barred family members from comforting Shaw.”
