This is the latest article I could find on the recently deceased 95-year-old
Wrana: http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2013/08/10/illi-a10.html 

 

Interestingly, it was posted on the "World Socialist Web Site"   Things like
this happened regularly in states under total Socialist control; so I had to
search the site a bit to be able to guess at the source of their righteous
indignation.  They seem to be asserting that we in the US presently live in
a police state.  I don't believe that.  I'm sure a lawsuit will be
forthcoming and the Swat team members dismissed or reassigned.  But as to
why the Socialists should care, here are some of their article titles:

 

"Obama's press conference: The smiling face of a police state"

 

"Miami teenager tased to death by police"  [his crime was painting graffiti]

 

"Lavabit email shuts down after refusing to comply with 'crimes against the
American people'"

 

"US launches more strikes against Yemen, expands terror alert to Pakistan"
A further quote might be needed to explain this one:  "A primary purpose of
the drone barrage is to stage yet another display of the destructive power
of US military technology, as a warning to any country that might stand in
the way of US control of the key global geostrategic regions."
