I'm reminded of the 1934 Teamsters strike,when the Minneapolis Police handed out brass badges to over four hundred 'deputies', to better engage in streetfights with strikers. No, wait; to better 'maintain the right of the Republicans to militarize downtown'. (Somehow, kicking me out of my downtown is and expression of MY first amendment rights.)

Anyway, be on the lookout for corporate money to show up with unmarked 'security contractors' in unmarked cars with secret powers.

I’m reminded of the 1934 Teamsters strike,when the Minneapolis Police handed out brass badges to over four hundred ‘deputies’, to better engage in streetfights with strikers. No, wait; to better ‘maintain the right of the Republicans to militarize downtown’. (Somehow, kicking me out of my downtown is and expression of MY first amendment rights.)

Anyway, be on the lookout for corporate money to show up with unmarked ‘security contractors’ in unmarked cars with secret powers.
