Fuck the (corporate) police state

I am usually not given to link to articles on "The Blaze", but this morning I found this, which when googling the different A-Z headings runs into a tidal wave of undeniable truth that the USA has become a police/military state which no longer pays any heed to your civil liberties, or peace in our countries around the world.

#BlackLivesMatter activist convicted of attempted felony lynching in California

June 2, 2016 . Jasmine Richards became the first black person in the U.S. to be convicted of lynching. No, she wasn't part of a mob torturing and hanging white men.

The Poisoning of Flint, MI – A Crime Against Humanity – No Terrorist Required

Imagine the headline, Tens of Thousands of People Poisoned by, {then insert name of bad dictator the US does not have any use for anymore}, and you have the same basic headline for the last 40 to 100 years. The call for a bombing campaign, if not all out war would be immense. Just think for a moment, when the people of Crimea voted overwhelmingly in a referendum to secede to Russia in 2014, we had TV pundits, a retired general on Tee Vee, calling to Kill more Russians.

A quick diary on Ferguson redux....

This will be short.

There are a couple of diaries up on DK about another police shooting of a young black man in Ferguson, with the obligatory leaving him bleeding out while they... I don't know. Check the donuts at the 7-11?

The cops of course are claiming they were fired upon (although according to both diaries that seems plausible in this case). And of course they did the obvious thing; fire blindly while civilians were all around.
