Videos like the sandwich one, show one person standing up, while dozens (maybe more) watch and record. Folks, the days of gawking and recording are over. Back up that brave person (I'm not talking about violence), with a show of numbers. If 30 or 40 people came up behind him, things could change.

In the mid 2000's, Bush admin assigned 100's of FBI agents to Nat sec. duties. Agents that should have been looking for 'white collar' crime, were re-assigned. Coupled with deregulation, wall street had free reign. Great recession! EVERYTHING that is happening, is to distract from further inequality

He said "If it works out in D.C." If WHAT works out? By who's measure? If crime drops (which apparently already has), they will say it "worked". If crime increases (who is tallying such statistics?), well.. game, set, match. He's arguing a non-valid (zero sum) position. Check mate!
