IT'S A RIGGED SYSTEM.

        Police brutality and repression is present across the world. It is like a sea with waves that rise and fall, rising here, falling there and then changing again in an ever changing pattern. However the state is never afraid to raise the level of brutality, as it knows that it has set up a judicial system that will never point the finger at the state. Those perpetrating the brutality in the name of the state, also know that they will be protected by that same judicial system. But the full brutality of that judicial system will be felt by those who dare to question that state authority and its monopoly on violence. Brutal state repression does not always happen on the streets, it is also handed out by those placed in the privileged position within that judicial system. Those people who dress in fancy clothes and demand that those who question the state be incarcerated for years on end. The state its self is a brutal system that demands obedience and shows no mercy on those who dare to question and/or resist. In Genoa 2001 the Italian state showed how brutal it could be in suppressing dissent. At the G8 summit that year the state's mercenaries, the police, in the hours of darkness, raided the Diaz School, where activists who had come to protest the G8 summit agenda, were sleeping. The police ran through the school, beating and arresting sleeping activists. Now it seems that after all this time all the police charged with various offences related to that brutal assault, will now have those charges dropped, as we would expect. 

 

This from Italy Calling:

       After a 9-hour debate, the Italian Supreme Court has issued its final sentence against the 25 defendants – policemen and heads of security forces – responsible for the violence against the activists sleeping in the Diaz school during the G8 summit in Genoa in 2001. Result: most of the charges have been declared time-barred, leading to impunity for all the people involved. In the meantime, 10 activists are facing a total of 100 years of jail between themselves for crimes of “devastation and looting”.
