I’ve just watched a couple of videos on CBC and it sure is startling to see the things that a few cops are doing. I’m usually a law and order guy but seeing a 75 year old man knocked down by riot police, where he laid bleeding as they all marched by, is pretty alarming. I can’t imagine what threat they saw. The second one was from Indianapolis where 4 cops beat two women with batons.
These videos are a little too close to some of the scenes from the Handmaid’s Tale.
Why is it alarming? A huge group of officers, dressed in their riot gear, descending down the street, to confront protesters, and this guy stands there. He was shoved to get out of the way and lost his footing, fell down and was injured. What would you expect police to do? Shake his hand and give him a pat on the back? The officers in the front line are not going to break rank to attend to this guy, it's no doubt left to the team behind them, as did happen.Quote:

Bush, watch the video as the camera pans left.....I didn’t see a raging dangerous mob. I saw some people standing around but they were greatly outnumbered by cops ?Quote:

Don't kid yourself, you saw exactly what they wanted you to see, nothing more than the sales teams usual, partial truth.Quote:

I think you're getting caught up with the leftist liberal media frenzy, who are frothing at the mouth over the police trying to quell public disturbance's. Any sane person would get the hell as far away from this nonsense as possible.Quote:

Well there are many groups that say they can do it better then the police. Why not let them show us how it's done. Let them "police" the black areas of town.Quote:

That's a given,fratri. Not the point we're making here. Very,very few LEO's carry on like that is the point,but,if they keep getting bashed in the media,assaulted and injured for doing what they're paid to do to the extent they are,it's not beyond the realm of possibility that most will cash in their pensions and find other employment.Quote:
