Seems that the urban centers of North
America got together and coordinated their own acts of uncivil
disobedience this week, with evictions and threats of eviction popping up
everywhere. Oakland evicted violently, New York evicted violently, Berkeley
students and staff only wanted to have a two-day occupation and were squashed
violently, threats in Toronto staid by court
injunction, threats in Vancouver
The common thread? The disobedience? It’s this: Where police
act, heads and ribs get busted, and pepper spray is suddenly in short supply.
Big, tough folks, those cops. Their parents must be so proud. Their uniforms
should have advertising on them: “I Work for Wall Street. I Serve and Protect the 1%. Sponsored by Goldman Sachs.”
