Some undercover cops got busted as provocateurs at the Oakland protests over Garner/Brown. Somebody shoved one of them and that led to this horrifying photo:

Saw this in the Daily News this morning. My disgust at the NYPDs police union just keeps finding new depths.

Cause really not backing the police for obvious abuse just shows how entitled and childish so many cops are

One of the Michael Brown activists was talking on Democracy Now about a concept called "superhumanisation" which is a form of racism thats coming up over and over again. Basically yeah, the cops involved in these killings all seem to view black people as though they've been chugging super soldier serum.
Brown was a hulk and a demon, Tamir was a 20 year old 200lb man not a little kid as can be clearly seen on film.

A study was published a couple months that demonstrated that this is something white people in general do, not just cops.

Those cops are drat lucky that Americans are so loving peaceful, because when some guy without any uniform is wildly waving a gun at a crowd then there's every justification to assume that he's a terrorist and to shoot first.

Except for the part where they repeatedly identified themselves as police before drawing.

After being attacked by the crowd and the one cop even being knocked to the ground first before subsequently tackling the now pictured getting arrested guy. Those fascist pigs not letting themselves be beaten by 30+ protestors. Psssssh goshhhhhh.

All cops in america are supporting this hosed up system and the extreme majority of them are silent about it. So yes, black cops are just as bad. This isn't that hard to understand.

Come now, comrades. The system purposefully pits our fellow proles against us clad in sanctioned state colours.
The police are our most powerful potential allies not inherently our enemies. The system itself inputs poor people and ejects cash upwards and corpses downward, thats the obstacle in our way on the road to anarchosocialist independent realisation!

The use of masked police officers during protests is rarely conductive to gaining trust with the community, but that's not the objective here.

Why would you need a disguised officer to see what was happening at a protest? There are always a bunch of guys in riot gear standing around. One wonders if they were hiring blind folks.

I'm sure nothing wrong comes of police infiltrating political gatherings.

Its systemic and self-perpetuation. Even if there are good cops, who want to do right, there is no room or love for whistle-blowers or people who don't fall in line. The whole deal, from prisons to police to politicians are corrupt as gently caress.
