Okay, we have problems with the LAPD, I certainly know that, I was the target of an LAPD undercover investigation for years [1977-1980] because of my work on police murder and brutality cases, but these days I'm focused more on Syria so I see and hear daily what is happening there. Then I turn to a local list and see something like this and I think, these people have no real idea what police terror really is. If they call the ordinary level of big city police abuse that we suffer from everyday "police terror", what will they call it when it becomes the Assad or fascist type of police terror? BTW this is being organize by LA ANSWER, which supports police terror in Syria and whose "End Police Brutality at OLA" Committee did more damage to OLA than the police ever could. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@greenhouse.economics.utah.edu Set your options at: http://greenhouse.economics.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
