As much as I sympathize with people in these situations, our main focus at this point is to make damn sure none of our people are involved in it, and when not involved in it, make damn sure we are out of the way when the victims of this sort of abuse start striking back, legally or illegally.

I'll say this, fuck with me like that, or even close to that, and any pig's entire chain of command can and will be looking over their shoulder for a very very long time. Fuck with my family like that, oh, we'll skip that lawsuit stuff alright, payback is a bitch.

Thing is, if we as an organization or movement go stepping in on all of these incidents, are we stepping in on behalf of people who would equally back us up?

We had a defacto vote here a few months ago over whether or not to support Christopher Monfort, and the majority opinion here was to not express support. Me, well, I am not exactly expressing condemnation either. What I am sensitive to is this sort of thing happening then the victims deciding they hate anyone in any uniform, or all white people, or all of society.

Call me "unChristian" but I also have to get off the forgiveness train on these things too. People can all hold hands and sing "Kumbay-ya" and talk about peace, but if the pigs still have the power and the people are increasingly disenfranchised, then its not justice, its not forgive and forget, its the bullies got pacified for a little bit and will come back for even more next time.
