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.

And this is why the National Guard was not the proper force to use at Kent State. The President is a fink. |

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.... |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5055 | 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. I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant 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. The President is a fink. |

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. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 188 Posts: 18633 | 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. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25010 | 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. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
