200 Arrested in Massive Show of Civil Disobedience Over Police Acquittals in Killing of Sean Bell

We can try to keep up the pressure. But nothing will change this high handed approach to keeping us cattle in line. When are we going to recognize the fact that we created this beast to be used against us and it is simply doing what it is suppose to do?

200 Arrested in Massive Show of Civil Disobedience Over Police Acquittals in Killing of Sean Bell

More than 200 people have been arrested in a day of protest over acquittal of three police officers in the killing of Sean Bell. The twenty-three-year-old Bell died in a hail of fifty police bullets on the morning of what would have been his wedding day in November 2006. He was unarmed. On Wednesday, demonstrators halted traffic at six busy intersections in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

And the general consensus of the "cattle" is, "Get tough on crime". So, one doesn't hear much mooing about when the militia attacks "those loser low life's" with excessive force. After all, "If you weren't guilty of something, you wouldn't be arrested".

Wish I had a nickel for every time I have heard that twisted logic.
