UC Davis students, protesting
police brutality at a demonstration on their campus, were assaulted by police wearing
riot gear when they did not disperse as ordered by officials. What is most
disturbing about not only this offense against freedom and against those individuals
occupying Wall Street, is how few people watching actually care. The question that we should all be asking
ourselves is, when did the citizens of a self-touting “Free Nation” become so
desensitized to believe that those paid to serve and protect us are somehow justified
in such an assault?
With each passing day, the
psychological attack against our “Freedom” is soaking into our collective minds
to the point where the fascist state as reflected in these actions, is believed
to be normal. Didn’t our government just
use this sort of treatment of protestors in Libya to justify bombing their
leader out of office to “Liberate the People”?
It would seem that not only have Americans fallen asleep and have become
purposely ignorant of this ongoing assault against us but now, they have become
complacent in it as well. As long as it
doesn’t happen to you, is it alright? Welcome to the new America : Land
of the Oblivious.
