We truly are seeing the

We truly are seeing the justification and the rightwing reframe of the perception of OW. Just listen to the rhetoric "the focus of OW has changed" which is being echoed by Quan and others. Yeah, it's sharpened, it has focused. Just the exact thing the power elite DON'T want. And the demonetization of anarchy which OW owes it's horizontal organization too. And it's total disdain of hierarchy. And it's criticism of the rapacious nature of capital. The police rep, and his reframe of how the "poor police" are being "forced" to react, is total crap. How many liberal police do you know, none. And there's a reason. Power and authority are traditionally a reactionary stance and who better to represent that on a local level than the police, with the military right behind them. Meanwhile all the time espousing freedom and liberty. Talk about Orwellian. I wonder how many police, just like ex military, regret their enslavement to empire when their time is up and they get a brain of their own again when not they are not in "service" anymore? Just like the police chief of Seattle.
