hating cops and hoping for confirmation

last night cbeb and I went to see Squeezee punks in traffic at the toronto permire. Even though cbeb had seen it before he had the directors on his radio show and that must have sparked a new interest to see it again. It was a documetary shown from one punk from Montreal's perpective. He is a street squeezee kid and a beautiful wonderful character. After watching that movie I had the urge to kick and distroy cops (more than normal). Watching how the city bulldoged these street peoples homes, burnt there belongings disgusted me. There was clips of politicians saying we need to make squeezeeing illegal so our citizens don't have to see these people. It is such classist bullshit, the rich are allowed to flant there lifestyle and values all over our society, not only do they have that freedome, they want to illiminate a diversity in lifestyles and classes. Those poor rich people having to witness poverty in there daily lives boo hoo.
There was this scene at an anti-poverty protest in Ottawa, that seemed really intense, the cops were spraying pepper spray right into the eyes of the protestors. So brutal, but I'm sure the media concentrated on the fact that anarchist were destructive, that they ruined property. In this capitalist society propery is much more important then digintiy of human life.
