More police atrocity In the tumultuous 1960s many young radicals-with not a little
confrontation with " the system " experience - always called cops " pigs
". That was not my style but I could understand the gut feeling, the
seething rage against the capitalist police state behind it.
I suspect their transient " rage " might have been inversely proportional to ideological enlightenment.
Still it is no crude truth to say that any veteran cop in America
is an incurable " enemy of the people ".( Of course, my grandfather was
an exception ! )
A woman divorced from her cop husband observed
that he reached a state of mind where he could only socialize with cops,
only " feel " for the BROTHERHOOD. The guy was not born evil. The
capitalist system warped his soul.
A Eugene V. Debs could " feel " for the working class of the whole world, the universal brotherhood.
For me a dedicated socialist was always a higher form of human being- whatever his particular " party line.
