4:35pm ET - Last week in Baltimore,
as activist prepared for another round of protests over the death of Freddie
Gray, the Police Department was busy with preparations of their own, only they
were not preparing to exercise their constitutional right to voice their
opinion by peacefully assembling, but rather they were preparing to do battle
against the very citizenry they are sworn to protect. Joining us today to discuss the
militarization of our nations police forces and the combat zone tactics they
are now using domestically against Americans is Michael Gould-Wartofsky, the author of The Occupiers: The Making of the 99 Percent Movement, and a PhD Fellow in Sociology at New York University who wrote all about law enforcement's war on activists for
TomsDispatch.com & TheNation.com. You can also follow Michael on twitter.
