With all the issues confronting us, it’s so important to understand how they’re all related, and how to build solidarity and synergy among the many groups trying to address them. Thank you very much for putting together this overview of all these initiatives.

From your link (emphasis added)
Officials say Todashev became violent as he was about to sign a written statement based on his confession.
Timing is everything, isn’t it?

Seems like one of those moments for finding common ground on the First Amendment.
DHS vs Occupy
IRS vs conservative political groups
DOJ vs the press, including Wikileaks -

Thanks to nixonclinbushbama for food for thought.
The IRS shouldn’t be used to target political enemies (asking what books they read should be of deep concern to everyone), but it should have a responsibility to look closely at political groups claiming tax exempt status (including OFA, for example).
As far as punching hippies, apparently the Democratic partisans who think it’s ok for the IRS to target people for their political views also think it’s ok for DHS to do the same.
The failure on the part of Obama and the Democrats is, as usual, not making a principled case for good government and defining what constitutes good government and what doesn’t.

What does this have to do with D’s and R’s? They all fail to pass or refuse to enforce laws that would have a negative impact on the 1% and serve the interests of the 99%.
If you think the financial crisis was caused by people not repaying their mortgages you need to do a little more research.

An average earner retiring in 2011 at age 65 would lose over $6,000 over 15 years if the chained CPI were adopted (compared with the CPI-W), amounting to a 2.2 percent benefit cut. This doubles to a 4.4 percent cut 15 years later (see Table 1).

People over 62 pay more for housing and healthcare, and have higher rate of inflationhttp://www.cepr.net/documents/publications/cpi-2012-12.pdf
According to Congress’ Joint Committee on Taxation, if individual income taxes were indexed to the Chained CPI starting in January 2013, by 2021, 69 percent of the gains in revenue would come from taxpayers with incomes below $100,000, while those in the highest income brackets would barely be affected.

Regarding “Federal law enforcement officials on the scene,” it’s unclear in some of the recent photos, but yesterday it looked as though this was DHS. PHOTO
It says a lot about where we are in this country that it wasn’t just local police on the scene for a relatively small and clearly peaceful protest.
