I if that is all the video you can find of possible bad behaviour by police after 1000's of police have been treated like shit for several nights in a row I give full credit to the police. A handful lost it for a minute so what. Watching the news it seems pretty much everyone is walking around with a phone in their hand taking video.

No Unit is perfect for riot control.

A lot of people think the Army National Guard gets some special riot training or disaster training. You don’t. When you join you go to Army basic training, then you go to AIT (training on your Army job) then you go home and drill one weekend a month. There are no specialized units in the National Guard for riots, they just have to deal with it when it comes out. Its the same initial training as regular Army....

I guess you can make an argument that an MP unit may have riot training (I don't honestly know much about MPs), but that is who I would imagine, if anyone, gets specialized crowd control training.... But, even them, I doubt in AIT get much training on civilain riots...

I know I never got any kind of special riot or non lethal weapons training. We only ever qualified on firearms and explosives, I never even touched a baton or taser in the National Guard.... I was in an infantry unit, it was basically Boy Scouts, we shot and camped in the field for drill weekends. You do more training on land navigation (map and compass) and shooting than you ever do in anything else...

The National Guard is just the Army (or Airforce), but under a state. There is no specialized training for specific state level emergencies, I guess they assume people in the Army are adaptable enough to respond to the situation at hand.


And this is why the National Guard was not the proper force to use at Kent State.

Yes. Also, why Bayonets are not allowed for crowd control anymore.

Though the General claimed somebody had fired a weapon on them, and charges were dismissed against them... So there is more to that story.

I looked at all of them. Many are not videos and/or are out of context pictures claiming what happened....

The only one I remember finding wrongful was the horse charge. But in riots horses can easily lose control, it quite possibly was not intentional.

Everything else was 100% justified (and very mischarizered by you and the the video poster).

It looks like you pulled one of the Anti-Police links off the BLM page and just posted it here....

If I was on a jury that was judging a cop who was charged with gratuitously shooting a reporter with a rubber bullet, or using pepper spray similarly, well, let's just say I'd have a hard time keeping myself from cheering him on.

I'd be thinking about that bit last night where we were supposed to be wringing our hands because reporters were subjected to tear gas and they just thought it was awful that they used it so quickly.

A little too precious for me.

It was a bad thing all around. These days we have less than lethal crowd control methods they did not have then. At least things were learned.

Watch the faces of the people
in these protests. They're either
bored to death or wired and
waiting for action. They're
99% kids in their 20's, this is
all new to them. For most of
us we've all seen it before. Yawn.
The more things change the
more they stay the same.

That should help turn a vandal from his ways. Imagine one of these pro-wrestler monsters jumping out of their truck after you smash his window. Fun is over.

It's been reported that pro riot
tactics are being used all over
the country. Backpacks with
riot tools like hammers and
molotov cocktails are hidden
in the daytime in various
places and retrieved at night.
This whole thing is planned
and very well organized by
people who want us overthrown.
