snipers, tear gas, militarized police in portland oregon nov. 13 2011...eviction of peaceful political protest

"Not only have cops been known to go undercover to infiltrate rallies, but they can also lie and commit some crimes as part of their missions.

 Sometimes, they may even pretend to be your friend, encouraging you to commit a crime.

 Entrapment, Kreuscher says, is a difficult and very specific legal principle to prove—so don't expect to rely on it if you suddenly find out your "friend" is actually the fuzz."

"You don't have to speak to an officer on the street unless you choose to." The best thing, Kreuscher says, is to be unfailingly polite but say you're busy and then walk away. That's key. If you stay put, you might eventually relent and start chatting.

hung out to dry


folk tails, nailed to the barn
"sorry" stories that fell by the hundred
to ground zero bin ladens
from leaving while the map erasers
loaded airwaves with hysteria

used to shoo the flies
with those tales
where the shit emerges from the commitee
