My Return to Occupy Los Angeles – May Day, 2012

9. Thank you for this report, coalition_unwilling, very well written btw.

This I could not agree with more:

But, after yesterday, my opinion is starting to change and I am now starting to view the police as working class but also as ‘class traitors.’ They are no longer protecting and serving me.

Looking at a lot of the photos from yesterday, from various parts of the country and in Europe also, the police are there to protect the banks at all costs. lined up outside each of the banks, I doubt even they saw a murder in progress, they would be pulled away from their prime duty.

Good to know that we have all to a large extent been abandoned even by the party that nominally represents working class interests. At least we now know where we stand and that we can expect little help or support from the Democratic Party. It never hurts to know who your friends are (or are not).

This movement would never have started if people had not realized they had been abandoned. I think for their outing since the winter, the day went very well all over the world. This can only grow as things get worse for the average person, especially in Europe where things are totally disastrous right now.
