"The police are not here to create disorder, they are here to preserve disorder."

                                   Chicago Mayor Richard Daley 1968 

Time out of mind, the police have met peaceful or legitimate protest with gratuitous violence. And in the process-- India in the 20's and 30's, Selma, a thousand places in the 60's, and now on Wall Street, we see that the police are the final expression of corporate/government power.

And, by their vicious behavior, they're doing us all a favor. What often would be a simple, limited march or protest turns into a revolution when the real power shows it's teeth.
