This man was brutally arrested by the LAPD pigs for burning an ameriKKKan flag, which last time I checked, was completely legal. Officer Gilbert (identifiable by his shoes) helped violently pin the man down, then pushed his face into the ground, and after standing up and getting untangled from the man and the other arresting officer, kicks the man, and then stomps on his head. I didn't get a shot of the contact, but frame 10 shows the wind-up to the kick.

When is this shit going to stop?<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","summary":"These are photos from the incident described in this article

If you have to fill out paperwork explaining that you wish to make a trip from San Francisco to Oakland, and you must get written permission from the government weeks in advance to cross the bridge to do so, that's a Police State. That's not the case in the US. Obviously, in such a short forum as this I can't cover all the bases involved with what I am talking about, but that should be enough for you to get the picture.\r\n\r\nSuffice it to say that many former citizens of the Soviet Union who have moved to the USA and have become my friends over the years, when describing how it was to live in the USSR, painted just such a scenario of government permission needed for travel.
