Occup Phoenix Pamphlet: "When Should You Shoot a Cop?"

Link to article

This is cute. Pamphlets magically show up at Occupy Phoenix encouraging cop killing. No one saw whoever dropped them off? Everyone I have spoken to at OWS in NYC or read statements from throughout the country has been demanding a nonviolent/civil disobedience style of resistance. And so far this has been successful. 

This pamphlet reeks of COINTELPRO.

"COINTELPRO began in 1956, in part because of frustration with Supreme Court rulings limiting the Government's power to proceed overtly against dissident groups; it ended in 1971 with the threat of public exposure. In the intervening 15 years, the Bureau conducted a sophisticated vigilante operation aimed squarely at preventing the exercise of First Amendment rights of speech & association, on the theory that preventing the growth of dangerous groups & the propagation of dangerous ideas would protect the national security and deter violence.

Many of the techniques used would be intolerable in a democratic society even if all of the targets had been involved in violent activity, but COINTELPRO went far beyond that. The unexpressed major premise of the programs was that a law enforcement agency has the duty to do whatever is necessary to combat perceived threats to the existing social and political order." - Church Committee 1976

This is an example of COINTELPRO.
