Fuck the Police – BLACK BLOCK Documentary Now Showing!

One of the biggest lies that we are told from a very young age is that the police are here to protect us. As we grow up, most of us realize this a huge pile of shit! The police, worldwide, are extensions of corporate greed, and they are expected to protect and serve the rich, and to keep the poor away from them and their property. A perfect example of this is when during the Occupy movement in NYC, the piggies made sure the bankers of death were not harmed by the victims of their lies, backing up and protecting the very people who had lied, cheated and stolen from almost the entire country. This ludicrous reality is something we should all stand against – we should demand protection from the real criminals like the Koch brothers, who murder and pollute with impunity. The 2011 documentary Black Block takes a look at how protestors during the 27th G8 Summit in Genoa, Italy in July 2001 were mistreated, brutalized and tortured by the police at the behest of the Italian and global governments. The director, Carlo A. Bachschmidt, did a great job by allowing the people that were there to tell their stories for the world to hear. What I realized while watching this was that no matter the country, police forces represent the true faces of evil. Peep the Black Block documentary after the jump!
