The erosion of our rights is a slow and gradual process. I believe these cops dont even realize, consciously, what they are doing - as I dont believe cops who beat and brutalize non-violent protesters realize what theyre doing. The fault is not primarily theirs. Most of them are just trained to be this way. The fault is that of the lawmakers, their backers, and the public in general who are kept complacent and apathetic in their lazy ignorance. “If those in charge of our society - politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television - can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves.” - Howard Zinn
