The police line has fired, moved forward and continued firing into the demonstrators. The officer on the extreme right waved his baton at the demonstarators, taunting them to "Yeah--Come on! Come on!" (He had a definite midwestern accent.) He then motioned for the officers with riot guns at the left to fire in my direction, telling me to "back [my] fucking ass up." I did, only to have a horse bump into me.

Back Yer Fukkin Arse Up

O22 shows that the tactics seen at the convention were not forced upon LAPD by Secret Service or the Mayor's office, and in fact that LAPD's standard crowd control tactic is now essentially police rioting, as defined by on-duty cops committing personal verbal and physical violence out of anger or political hate, and without explicit order or clear deadly threat.

We have many, many examples of verbal taunts from cops, right wing sloganeering like, "You creeps get out of America, get out of my country" and of course the illegal escalation of the situation into offensive gunfire for the purpose of street justice and to clear away people that have done nothing except express dislike for their fine department. Aww, booby, they hurt your feelings. Poor cops.

These clowns talk like they're the first cops ever to have a few rocks thrown at them. They're not. LAPD has completely crossed the line, and it is now a rogue department. The officers are free-lancing. They're a wild west show. This will stop, because we still own this city and we will stop it.
