Oakland Police infiltrate anti-war protestor group

You think we don't have a police state?

The Oakland Police Department infiltrated an anti-war political group and got themselves elected to "influence" the group's activities according to a story on NPR.

Listen to NPR's "Oakland Police Spy on Anti-War Group".

Read the San Francisco Chronicle's "OAKLAND Police spies chosen to lead war protest".

Read the ACLU of Northern California's "The State of Surveillance - Government Monitoring of Political Activity in Northern and Central California" .

And here's a brief history lesson to the jackboots at Oakland PD and other law enforcement agencies.

Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

People protesting the war are exercising their fundamental, Constitutional rights. Unlike you asses who are trying to stop or intimidate people from assembling to petition the government, they're participating in our form of democracy: you're trying to undermine it. Be ashamed of yourselves, Oakland PD and police spies, in a democracy people don't spy on their neighbors for legal activities.
