On Sept. 5, Lida Rodriguez-Taseff of the ACLU attended a briefing that the police held for local business leaders at the Intercontinental Hotel. Rodriguez-Taseff was shocked that Asst. Police Chief Frank Fernandez's PowerPoint presentation openly endorsed the controversial trade agreement, telling the audience that it would bring 89,000 new jobs to the area and add $13.5 billion annually to Florida's Gross State Product. From Salon, December 31, 2003.
Do the police know or care how damaging this information is?
I have no doubt that the police think they are behaving quite decently. Doesn't everybody support Globalization? Well, real people do. So the unreal can be pelted with tear gas and pounded with billy-clubs.
