An Open Letter to Police Officers Across America imlad Send a noteboard - 20/11/2011 03:27:46 AM
As fellow American citizens, We are calling upon all police officers everywhere to refuse orders to assault unarmed and peaceful protestors.

Ignore the ILLEGAL orders coming down from your supervisors and their corporate slave-masters to beat, pepper spray, mace or tear gas these non-violent demonstrators.

Listen to the words of Sgt Shamar Thomas, former LAPD police officer Michael Ruppert, former Police Captain Ray Lewis (see URLs below).

Know that there is no honor in attacking American citizens who are not threatening you with any violence.

Know from this moment on, that any and all officers who assault unarmed, peaceful demonstrators are hereby determined to be ENEMY COMBATANTS. You will be held accountable for your actions, and eventually you WILL be treated in the manner deserved of enemy combatants the world over.

Lay down your batons, lay down your pepper spray, your mace, your tear gas guns, your beanbag guns and your rubber bullet guns. Turn to your supervisor and say: "Sir, no more. I will not allow you to harm any more of the American people. You sir, are under arrest for crimes against the People of the United States."

The American people are not going to tolerate the abuses coming out of too many American police departments, behavior that seems to be more fitting coming from a 3rd world dictator's security forces, or from the backwards police departments of the American South during the Civil Rights Movement, too much like the fascist police department of Chicago during the Democratic Convention of 1968.

Actions such as those are no longer acceptable police actions. You must stop it now. There are plenty of police officers, and police departments, across America that have not resorted to the aggressive and violent tactics we are seeing on the news.

The Albany (New York) PD, the NY State PD, the Lansing (Michigan) PD and others have given a shining example of how the police and the Occupation demonstrators can PEACEFULLY co-exist.

Show yourselves to be true and honorable American citizens, and live up to those examples. Stop acting like the thugs of some middle eastern dictator. Stop abusing the same people you have SWORN AN OATH TO PROTECT.

Signed,

The American People.

Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

I am forced to agree. - 20/11/2011 04:37:07 AM 614 Views
You're right, but stuff like what just happened at UC Davis makes my blood boil - 20/11/2011 05:52:11 AM 598 Views
As such things go, that does not seem too bad to me. - 20/11/2011 06:14:54 AM 777 Views
You do know that they initiated violence at Kent State, right? - 20/11/2011 02:45:57 PM 586 Views
You really do make this too easy. - 21/11/2011 10:28:31 PM 829 Views
hear hear *NM* - 20/11/2011 04:47:12 AM 278 Views
Agreed. - 20/11/2011 06:28:18 AM 731 Views
I agree with everything you said in this post. *NM* - 20/11/2011 07:53:07 AM 246 Views
a little late for that - 21/11/2011 01:54:34 PM 529 Views
What the fuck are you on? I need to get some of that. *NM* - 20/11/2011 04:56:00 AM 291 Views
I'm going to start a counter protest with "Bring back the Pinkertons" signs... - 20/11/2011 05:19:19 AM 565 Views
*NM* - 20/11/2011 05:49:35 AM 353 Views
I seen some guys holding signs saying "occupy a desk" *NM* - 21/11/2011 01:55:38 PM 304 Views
One of the most poorly written pieces of shit I've read in a long time. *NM* - 20/11/2011 06:30:29 AM 354 Views
"unarmed and peaceful protestors" - 20/11/2011 01:15:47 PM 612 Views
armed and violent? really? *NM* - 21/11/2011 05:31:44 PM 272 Views
Declaring people "enemy combatants" means they get to treat you as such too. - 20/11/2011 01:55:51 PM 580 Views
Don't cloud the propaganda with logic, Tim! - 20/11/2011 04:16:05 PM 613 Views
That's the problem with a two-party system: it's practically impossible to form a new party. *NM* - 20/11/2011 05:42:39 PM 250 Views
I think that's completely wrong. - 20/11/2011 06:10:15 PM 651 Views
The odds are very long. - 20/11/2011 07:15:54 PM 720 Views
And implicit in my statement above is the following addendum - 20/11/2011 06:14:40 PM 739 Views
I agree with that. However, many seem to think that means it's OK to beat them up. - 20/11/2011 06:21:05 PM 607 Views
Only if they resist arrest, and then the force must be proportionate. *NM* - 20/11/2011 09:52:39 PM 274 Views
If they resist a lawful arrest, sure. *NM* - 21/11/2011 11:11:11 AM 267 Views
they are breaking the law so it is lawful to arrest them *NM* - 21/11/2011 10:46:18 PM 263 Views
In what way? - 22/11/2011 09:12:01 AM 590 Views
Resisting arrest. Duh. *NM* - 22/11/2011 10:11:04 AM 271 Views
You are not allowed to just block sidewalks and camp wherever you want - 22/11/2011 01:54:42 PM 567 Views
In that case I quite agree. - 22/11/2011 02:08:02 PM 541 Views
Its still okay to beat communists up though right? *NM* - 21/11/2011 11:27:14 AM 260 Views
(OWS isn't anti-capitalism) - 20/11/2011 06:39:37 PM 529 Views
You've posted this, but you don't seem inclined to defend it, one might ask what the point was? - 21/11/2011 05:16:13 PM 521 Views
He'd post, but this is what happened. - 22/11/2011 03:55:43 AM 497 Views
I'm actually calling for them to start using lethal force. *NM* - 22/11/2011 03:46:24 AM 304 Views
