O! say can you see by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
O! we cab see. O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave? But sure doesn’t look like free or particularly brave not one bit with the shake well before use. And for the last few years I thought the ol’USA was trying to shack the global thug mojo. Nah now there doing it at home.

Thank goodness they were able to save that pathway from people sitting on it.
At least the enforcers had the courage to wear their badge. The local cops hide in anonymity. Our local cops will carry out the violence and agression but hide from consequences
I wonder how long it will be before they start shooting these protesters, after all they cant be allowed to alter the power balance, of the corporate government.
Its been done before.
I hope the cops realize that one day these protesters may very well be elected officials and as such their bosses. A good example would be Peter Beattie as a student, baton charged by the Queensland Police and a few years later their boss ie. the Premier of Queensland.
