In reply to the discussion: During hunt for gunman, LAPD shoot newspaper delivery women [View all]coalition_unwilling
(14,180 posts)73. I'd feel more sympathy for the LAPD if it had shown more sympathy for Occupy Los Angeles, instead
of brutalizing Occupiers repeatedly and with malice aforethought.
As it is, I view the LAPD as just another LA gang, one that operates under color of authority but really doesn't do much any longer to protect or serve the 99%, b/c it is too involved in protecting and serving the 1%.
