down with the people! i mean the man! i mean, smoke more cigarettes!

last night i attended an anarchist meeting in an interesting little bookstore, the topic of the evening: police brutality. their mission: to take pictures of the police who take pictures of protesters and call them out by name. i was a little confused about how exactly those particular actions are intended to destabilize the police force and the greater police state that they have here in the UK, but there's a lot i don't know about the world. edify me cap'n!
