One of the saddest things in the past few years is seeing how the police everywhere are NOT with the people. Across Europe, in America, egregiously in Australia, the cops side with the State against the people over and over and over again. ALL it would take is for the police to say "No, we are not putting down this protest, we are joining it." But outside of one or two here and there, for the most part they simply do whatever it takes to protect their jobs and pensions, and they'll beat the heck out of an old lady because some disgusting political hacks wants them too.

Sorry, but the old canard about "it's only the leadership, not the rank and file!" has proven totally wrong about the FBI (corrupt from top the bottom) and with police forces around the world. They are NOT on our side. They are cowards and robo-cops. You think if they got an order to shoot live rounds into a crowd that they wouldn't? Of course they would.

Yet they hold the key. The politicians have NO power as soon as the police say "we won't stand for this any more."
