MAY DAY!! MAY DAY!! MAY DAY!!

Hurray hurray,
The First of May.
LAPD starts beating people
in MacArthur Park today.

Will they ever learn? Will they even learn not to beat on television reporters with camera crews taping them? Is their common sense checked at the door in exchange for their batons (that's what they call 'em, makes you think of some corn-fed majorette leading the band at the annual "Pioneer Days" parade, doesn't it?) & helmets & flak jackets & all the other surplus military gear that the (formerly "our") federal government hands out to local law enforcement to facilitate the militarization of "our" society?

Questions, questions, questions, flooding into the mind of the concerned young person today.
