Speaking of the media-cop alignment, the cops keep publicly saying that the protesters will be a source of violence. This then gives police reason to amp up their presence. Not only have they been flying helicopters around the city at a super-low vertical around my neighborhood over the last month, if you watch that video you can see the guns in the hands of the men hanging outside them. Around town now you can see the extra weapons, the extra gear. You also see a lot of weird old dudes at these demonstrations lately that have new shoes (usually brown), new leather coats, camera bags not scraped, super-clean lenses on their cameras, zoom lenses, sunglasses, and pleated khakis. The level of snoopery has gone up 1,000%, according to official reports.
