A Special Message to the Police

Revenge is sweet. The Battle for Seattle was for Rob los Ricos.

Across North America, we're sick and tired of being pushed around by you fucking cops. You won't even let nonviolent protestors demonstrate without firing chemical weapons such as pepper gas at them. You hassle us over petty things like parade permits, which is stupid because the people who actually bother to get parade permits are trying to make your jobs easier.

This isn't really about you. You guys are just getting in the way. Our beef is with the rich and we intend to overturn their nice little "social order."

Seattle should serve as a wake-up call for you guys. A new protesting ethic is sweeping through North America. We prefer to use nonviolent direct action, but don't be surprised if some of our comrades get a bit more destructive. Gone are the days of walking in a circle carrying placards. That doesn't work anymore.

Our philosophy is that the best cop is an ex-cop. If you are concerned about your safety, and if you are really interested in helping out your community, we suggest that you find a different line of work.

Seattle was just the beginning...
