U.S. Ruling Class Determined to Prevent Arab Spring In America

Across the U.S., police have thuggishly tried to clear anti-establishment protesters occupying public spaces.
Obviously aware of the precedents in Arab nations, especially Egypt, our political masters have unleashed their uniformed (and otherwise clad) goons to do the usual dirty work on unwanted political expressions. We can assume the main domestic secret police agency, the FBI, is coordinating this. They also instigate violence, as they did in cases of police murdering Black Panthers, by sending out defamatory "intelligence bulletins" branding the activists as subversives, and "terrorists" (formerly the term of abuse was "communist").

The police also try to confuse their victims by blowing hot and cold, at times seeming to tolerate them, using "good" cops to strike up conversations and spy ("gather intelligence"). Ultimately, if waiting out the protesters doesn't work, the velvet glove comes off and the mailed fist is applied to the face.

In New York City, the "authorities," led by a billionaire financial parasite, Michael Bloomberg, may wait for cold weather to complete the job that mass arrests and brutal assaults, among other tactics, have failed to do. Apparently the local bosses in Oakland feel winter is too mild there to rely on to do the job, as they unleashed a vicious mass attack, almost killing a 24 year old war vet (Scott Olsen) by firing at his head pointblank with a gas canister or other "non-lethal" projectile. Because of his status as a veteran of two tours of "duty" in Iraq, this has created a P.R. problem for the police, who have responded with bare-faced lies (denying they fired flash-bang grenades at people attempting to aid the critically wounded Olsen, even though videos clearly show they did- not to mention that the word of the protesters is far more credible than cop bullshit- the chief of police has the gall to claim the explosions on audio recordings are protesters' firecrackers) and a promise to "investigate" themselves. I find it soooo reassuring when criminals investigate themselves, don't you?
