CHICAGO COPS SPREAD FEAR

In advance of next week's anti-NATO protests in Chicago the coppers there are spreading word that they plan to crack skulls.

They know that the word will spread and that their intimidating comments will make some number of people afraid to get out onto the streets.  This is about trying to tamp down the numbers before the protest even happens.

Welcome to the land of the free, home of the brave - this is what our democracy looks like today.  The cops, supposedly there to serve and protect the people, are in fact serving as the domestic military arm of corporate globalization.
