WHOOP WHOOP - THAT'S THE SOUND OF THE BEAST

Cops everywhere from right in your back yard to the other side of the world - cant be trusted.

French kids in the southern town of Nimes, about three hours south of Lyons, took to the streets earlier today to protest against police shooting dead a 17 year old in a stolen car.

They burned shops cars and banks, and rammed a car into the local police station. The French authorities have started an investigation to see if the Police officer involved in the shooting followed the correct procedure. Surely its obvious he didnt?

A similar incident happened less than two weeks ago in the Sunset suburb of San Francisco. Police were following a stolen car, when the driver allegedly backed the vehicle into a SFPD Officer's arm while trying to escape. The SFPD shot him dead.

The SFPD are currently under massive investigation for a variety of allegations of misconduct, including frame-ups, murder, election fraud and even mass suicide. According to the SF Bay Area IMC, these "surprise indictments have cast a long shadow on Willie Brown and SFPD, including those who have helped cover up their brutality, like Amos Brown, Dianne Feinstein, and the entire editorial staff of the SF Chronicle."

The SF Chronicle is a pro-police, anti-protester daily newspaper, with the biggest circulation in the city. It recently printed articles disputing the number of protesters on anti war campaigns. Sound familiar?

And finally, back home, where there's no such thing as Garda corruption, oh no, no sir, we have the Morris tribunal uncovering all sorts of nasty goings on of the Donegal Garda mafia. Physical threats, a gun being pointed at a womans head, houses being used to make bombs, affairs, scandals, jealousy & bitterness, corruption. It all reads like a soap opera.

Lets not forget Abbeylara, the Burlington, Car Free Day 2001, and RTS last mayday, where their culture of secrecy and silence was exposed by the inquiry.

When it suits them, they think they can get away with beating people (http://www.indymedia.ie/cgi-bin/newswire.cgi?id=31729). We have to stand up to this shit.

How long before the Garda start shooting us?

How long before the Garda start shooting car thieves? Stealing a car is obviously breaking the law, but it does not carry the death penalty, last time I checked. It does not give the Gendarmes or the SFPD the right to be on-the-spot judge, jury, and executioner.

How about raiding that pub on Talbot Street that the Store St cops illegally drink in at 4am after their late shift has finished some time?

How about a supergrass? Seeing as how they're so keen to have the Special Branch photograph protesters and "glean intelligence", anyone out there feel like turning the tables on them? Its only 22 weeks at Templemore Brainwashing College (http://www.garda.ie/angarda/recruit.html). You could be our man or woman on the inside.

Watch your backs kids. The "Guardians of the Peace" are out there.
