An excellent piece by a trained constitutional lawyer who essentially argues that a conversion of the US into a police state is becoming normalized--although he doesn't frame it quite like that. The argument is very convincing. As the concentration of power and wealth increases, we are seeing an all-out class war waged on the streets across North America and Europe. In the US we see militarized police being directed by the Department of Homeland Security and equipped with all kinds of short-of-lethal weapons attacking unarmed, peaceful protestors.
