John Pike est devenu l’officier de police le plus célèbre des Etats-Unis. Le plus détesté aussi depuis cette vidéo qui le montre en train d’asperger de « pepper spray » (gaz lacrymogène) des manifestants du mouvement « Occupy Wall Street » déjà arrêtés, genoux à terre sur le campus de l’université de Californie, à Davis.

About « (Astro) Turf Wars
Synopsis :From the Tea Parties to the healthcare and climate wars, America’s conservative citizens have revolted against the Obama agenda. But are these grassroots actions in fact examples of ‘astroturfing’? – The practice of manufacturing citizens groups for the purpose of delivering corporate messages.Starting in the early 1990s, three large American industry groups set to work on strategies to cast doubt on the science of climate change. Even though the oil industry’s own scientists had declared, as early as 1995, that human-induced climate change was undeniable, the American Petroleum Institute, the Western Fuels Association (a coal-fired electrical industry consortium) and a Philip Morris-sponsored anti-science group called TASSC all drafted and promoted campaigns of climate change disinformation.
