If I had a son who didn't want to work riot situations, I would advise them in a different career path.

Yeah, I'll type tank for simplicities sake. I think people know the vehicles I'm talking about. Both military type vehicles but thanks for clarifying.

Why? They may be ordered to deploy in armed vehicles, wear riot gear and carry auto weapons. They are choosing to randomly aim them at people. I seriously doubt this is the order, if it is they should disobey and quit.

Too many folks have not been raised with firearms from childhood, and have not been taught to respect the power of a firearm.

Wait, so you're saying the military uses non lethal ammo? Link?

You don't point a gun at a citizen or anyone unless you are in jeopardy. The peaceful protestor or dude just walking to work don't know what is in the chamber. At the bare minimum there needs to be a threat that warrants an arrest if a gun is pointed.



Again, I agree.

This isn't what was happening. And I'm pretty sure they make binoculars.

There was a guy who took pictures of an officer in riot gear from about 15-20 feet away. This image I remember from Wed night. The officer looked at him and brought his gun up. When the amateur photog said are you pointing that at me (or something like that) the officer brought it up till it was trained directly on the guy. They were yards apart.

Please cite instances where during a protest/riot, here in the US, crowds have opened fire on officers...


And don't try to cite Tuesday night when the group of 4 individuals were roaming the streets with shotguns and one apparently pointed the gun at an officer and was subsequently shot. That was not a protest/riot.

Never something you do. Binocs are easy and much more effective.

You have no idea why he's pointing his weapon
I know he pointed it at 100s of people if not thousands and no shots fired, is he that fricking terrible at recognizing a threat?

Don't even entertain him... He is a douchebag who goes out of his way to defend law enforcement anytime something about them is posted on the poll board.

Another dumb bitch...

Unless I misheard her, she's bitching about it being a majority of white cops, but in the same sentence says that the people in the community don't want to be police. So then what the frick do you want?

This whole shite is stupid.
I think there are enough white people in the deep south to know that NOT all black people are this way.
We are also old enough to have watched the black youth culture go down the tubes.
To think anyone did this to them but themselves is white guilt. To think that anyone else but them can pull them out of it is also white guilt.
There needs to be a paradigm shift in the black youth culture and Medea needs to be on the porch instead of the "youths" and she needs a pistol in her hand and the "youths" need to be whipped from her house and every house in between until they've gotten home.

They need to start policing their own. Take the neighborhood back.
IMHO
