OWS anniversary - riot police v. Civilians

This is the two month anniversary of OWS and the image is of riot police with face masks and outnumbering protestors asserting their strength in numbers and in violence. This is the language police have learned. They have lost touch with their civilian selves and have become dehumanized by the institutions they serve believing they are asserting law and order against the civilians who are the law and order citizens of the US. The police have bought into the idea that the country belongs to its institutions and the role of humans must be subjugated to the will of these institutions. The institutions have the shroud of law and order worn like a wolf in sheep's clothing trampling on the constitution and the citizens whom the institutions are supposed to serve. We live in a robotic world where the robot like institutions created to serve the citizens are firmly in control because these robotic institutions have been able to promote some people to gatekeeping positions and dehumanized them enough to become more like the robotic institutions than like the human flesh and bones they were born to be. I think every police officer will realize they will lose their onslaught against democratic peaceful expressions but they will go to the grave in denial believing they were doing what was right and proper and even Christian in their violence. Those police who set dogs on civil rights protestors of the sixties can only maintain their sanity by this illusion. They could not possibly come to terms with the fact that their actions were wrong or even evil in terms of its inhumanity and it's dehumanizing purposes. Today the cycle continues. Any institution can find those people who will dehumanize others with impunity. The purpose of mass movements is to humanize nonviolently even those who oppose.
