This is what Democracy looks like! It looks like masses of people to express disdain for the injustice system, intolerance of the the pseudo-democratic farcical "representative" electoral process which big brother and big business so confidently push as "Real, American Democracy" (haha), and to express hope for ways of a revolutionary re-organization of a society they can feel comfortable living in. My friend once told me, in Seattle (demonstrating against the WTO) while he was trying to speak to a police officer, "...officer, if there is any shred of human dignity untouched by the programming which has so been injected into you by the State and the 'powers that be,' please think about why you are here... how you need to put food on the table for your family, just as I do mine, how you feel like you are protecting and serving what is right. I am here to struggle for social change, to guarantee a life worth living for both of our future generations, one of real change being effected by each according to her/his views in a directly democratic discourse, respected by all in a non-authoritarian, compassionate, cooperative manner, free from ideas of subliminal coersion and cutthroat competition. Right now there is no other place, I mean no other place I would rather be in the world than here. Can you say the same? Please, just answer me, to let me know that you have a pulse, to let me know you have a brain, to let me know that you may still be alive. Please, I beg you, I beg you."
At that point a tear fell from the officer's eye. All of a sudden, moments later, the crowd lunged forward, and the officer my friend was speaking to raised his arm with his nightstick, looked at my friend, and proceeded to swing his nightstick at the woman next to my friend as a form of crowd control. I cried when he told me this story, and I hope everyone realizes that in order for true democracy to happen, the entity of the police must be abolished for the active people to gain control of what belongs to them, and for the oligarchs to naked and exposed for the masses to see what their intentions really look like.
