Police and FBI arresting, harassing stealing from and abusing peaceful environmental protesters. : environment

I'm normally not like this but the punctuation has killed the meaning of the title.
It needs at least one more comma...arresting, harassing, stealing from, and abusing peaceful environmental protesters.

That's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the stuff they've done to environmental protesters.
Consider what happened to an organization called "Earth First!", about a decade ago.
The FBI was implicated in a carbombing in a series of investigative journalism pieces by the free press newspapers in the Humboldt county area.
See, these hippies were up there trying to stop the deforestation of one of the last great forests in America, the ancient Redwood forest of northern California.
Well the loggers didn't take too kindly to their tactics.
So when two key members got blown up by a large and particularly nasty pipe bomb that somebody had placed under the seat of their car, the FBI pronounced the hippies made it, placed it under their own seat, and set it off on accident.
Then they closed the case.
Needless to say, the local press dug deeper and came to a different conclusion, but we have nobody to watch the watchers, so nothing ever came of it.

Jesus. If this is true that's legitimately frightening.
I don't feel safe and I don't even live in the U.S.

The activists that were almost killed were Judi Bari and Darryl Cherney.

The moment I read "expose the racist use of genetic engineering in agriculture" I stopped.
It's not that I don't agree, but rather that there was a dose of fanaticism in that statement that I couldn't bear so early in the day.
