1. The attacks by the LAPD on peaceful demonstrators were planned out and even trained for weeks in advance. It's apparent by the formations and equipment the police used. Nothing improvised or spontaneous about it.

2. The order for the preparations came from the top, the Chief of Police and his boss, the Mayor of Los Angeles. That's the ONLY way such an operation can take place.

No field commander is going to do this on his own and no Police Chief is going to risk his career to so something like this on a whim.

3. The two lying scum-bags responsible (The Mayor and Chief) are only expressing "shock" now because their actions were caught on video.

4. The same things happens at virtually EVERY peaceful political protest of any size in the US:

a) fake "anarchists" throw a few bottles at police and/or vandalize private property
b) the "anarchists" are never caught or even assaulted
c) the police use the "provocation" as a justification to attack the crowd
d) the police try to antagonize the crowd into retaliating (which rarely works by the way) so they can justify mass arrests in order to discredit the demonstrators and their cause.

Normally, the venal, spineless, lazy US news media covers up the reality of these "episodes." This time the idiot LAPD shoved some reporters around (heavens to Betsy!) and what really happened made the news.

I think that girl had it right. One day the people won't be running but will be ready for the police when they show up. Then everyone will see the power of the people.
