QuoteA General Strike would be better.👍
I watched some of the LA action. The order was to clear an area. For no good reason, but to instigate trouble. People were arrested for refusing to leave areas. Some were arrested for being nothing more than confused * .
Trump wants trouble, he will make it up or push hard enough to get it. The state uses armed bodies of men when other means of control break down. As Trump breaks down, and he is, the violence and alienation of the American state from American society will only grow.
The advancing line of horses showed it was a raw expression of power not meeting resistance and unnecessary. Symbolic for the rest of the country to see.
LA cops like to play the tough guy.
Quote* Around 4pm, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) issued a dispersal order, but kettled people in so they could not leave. Then, the sheriffs and cops fired tear gas and pushed the protesters, unprovoked. They trampled an elderly man with their horse and then clobbered him with their batons and fired round after round of less than lethal projectiles at the crowd. The police chased people down, hitting protesters indiscriminately. They beat people bloody.
