Not as serious as the current NYPD revolt, but there are similarities in a police force throwing the mayor under the bus. This article also looks much deeper at how the police operate as an independent political institution, as a self serving bureaucracy, primarily to the benefit of its staff and its leadership, not unlike any government bureaucracy. The police are a permanent institution, unlike politicians who come and go, and are therefore often more powerful than City Hall. http://libcom.org/library/who-gives-orders-oakland-police-city-hall-occupy _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
