MAY DAY - FREE SPEACH?

A few brutal photographs displaying the Long Beach Police Departments unjust acts upon yet another peaceful demonstrator.

MAY DAY - FREE SPEAC...
allshot.gif, image/gif, 825x1169

I was shot in the left thigh, and in the right calf. The cop who shot me in the right calf was not an LBPD officer, he was a SWAT member. He was holding one of the plastic/rubber bean-bag bullet shot guns when he came up behind me, aprox 3ft and decided to blast me in the leg. This gave me a penetrating wound. I still have a fragment in my leg because the doctor at the hospital could not pull it out. I'll probibly need surgery to pull it out. The doctor had go into my calf with this tweezer like tool and pull out the other fragments. For some, he had to go into my calf about an inch and half the most to get them out. I still have a fragment in my leg because it's too deep to pull out. The doctor said it couldn't be pulled out without damaging tissue. The photograph displayed is 5 days after may day , so it's a little healed, but as you can see, there are pot holes in my leg.

This is only one of the many injuries given to peaceful demonstrators who simply wanted to advocate free speech.

The police state is going to pay for this. I hope they relize that, because each and every "proud" officer better take a moment on the job to stop and think. Just for 2 minutes, they need to stop and think whether or not they want to continue a militarized tyranny upon the people, or their jobs, They better make the right decision, or else they will pay the price. It's a choice they better make, and they better make it soon. They need to decide whether to step down or they can expect to be taken down... If they want a future for their children as well as ours, then they better make a choice and make it fast. That cannot do this to human beings, and karma is about to let them know this. Either fight the people, or quit your jobs and join the people. Either continue to stay part of the problem, or become part of the solution...
