What the police did in LA. This guy gets a lot said in the time he is given.
the people were tortured. shot with rubber bullets. left on a concrete floor for 8 hours while in zip cuffs. not allowed to use a restroom. he said he has been arrested for civil disobedience multiple times and has never seen such cruelty.

4. Donald Rumsfeld owns the infamous Covey plantation, notorious

for their "slave breaking" abilities. Frederick Douglass, the renowned abolitionist was sent there because he was thought to be a "unruly slave" Physical and psychological torture were standard, it was known as Mount Misery.

It is ironic that this notorious plantation run by a practiced torturer would now be owned by Rumsfeld, himself accused as the man principally responsible for the U.S. military program of torture and detention.

6. Amercia doesn't have freedom of the press but Russia does

how ironic is that. seriously the mayors and cops should be tried for treason because they are giving China, North Korea, Iran, Russia etc all ammo if we come at those countries for human rights abuses when we do the exact same thing here. I'm surprised nobody's been killed yet

and hows the Vet doing who had his spleen ruptured??

8. i'd like to know that too

and who the fuck is that guy that deliberately ran people over in oakland?!
