Cop or Soldier?
RIOT police officers tear-gassing protesters at the Occupy movement in Oakland, Calif. The surprising nighttime invasion of Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan, carried out with D-Day-like secrecy by officers deploying klieg lights and a military-style sound machine. And campus police officers in helmets and face shields dousing demonstrators at the University of California, Davis with pepper spray.
Is this the militarization of the American police?
Quiz
Today civilian law enforcement agencies have access to military-grade equipment designed for heavy combat, essentially blurring the line between soldier and police officer.
Take the quiz and see if you can recognize the difference between a "Peace Officer" or a "Skilled Warrior."
Something to think about.....
The day the world ends, no one will be there, just as no one was there when it began. This is a scandal. Such a scandal for the human race that it is indeed capable collectively, out of spite, of hastening the end of the world by all means just so it can enjoy the show.

Something to think about.....
"Those in authority fear the
mask for their power partly
resides in identifying, stamping
and cataloguing: in knowing who
you are... our masks are not to
conceal our identity but to reveal
it...”
