Mysterious Riot Gear Handed Out to LA Protesters Raises Questions

[Vambram]

Might want to learn what a logical fallacy is and is not so you can properly identify them.

I used the term properly.

So you claim

Maybe they were leftovers from the real violent insurrectionists on 1/6, sold to a closeout store.

Maybe it was the FBI handing them out. You know, I distinctly remember ANTIFA leftists strategically placing pallets of bricks on the streets near BLM protests. Do you not see a pattern?

I don't build distinct memories based on conservative propaganda.
I usually discount them as untrue.

This post wins today's award for the most unbelievable post of the day.

It was the response your "funding claim" deserved. The only actor spending money to escalate things is ICE on the order of Trump and Miller.

Multiple sources have said they are high end masks.

They are not something you run down to Walmart and get.i

I ran into a picture of a rioter wearing an ankle monitor earlier.

Again, your post wins the award for the most un-factual post of the day. The people who escalated the riots are the actual rioters as well as the groups funding them.

I disagree. It was ICE.

 

[Aldebaran]

I disagree. It was ICE.

Are you implying that the rioters on the streets of Los Angeles are just a bunch of mindless puppets that are under the control of ICE agents? I mean, I know they're in a state where thinking for one's self seems to be discouraged, but aren't you willing to give them at least a bit of credit for being responsible for their actions (throwing bricks at passing vehicles, lighting cars and buildings on fire, etc.)?

I hope they escalate things enough to the point where those rioters are never seen on any street ever again. Ship them back to where they came from. California residents have already suffered enough by having those people amongst them. But now they show their gratitude for the "sanctuary" they've been given by vandalizing anything they can get their hands on. Now that they're showing their true colors, it's time to do whatever it takes to rid ourselves of them. Trump will get it done.

I dont know. Burning cars is pretty inflammatory to me. Ba-dum cha!

No, what I am saying is that when the protestors got to the federal buildings in downtown on the first day (the one with the heavy handed arrests) to protest, ICE agents fired munitions at them. (ICE actually started at least one fire themselves with the hot munitions they were spewing out.)

 

[Larniavc]

I used the term properly.

No you did not.

 

[ozso]

What should police officers do when they are physically attacked by rioters?

Give out teddy bears and hugs apparently.

No, a person is responsible for his own acts, even if he has been intentionally and systematically provoked.

 

[BPPLEE]

Probably don't want to deal with the effects of tear gas. Makes perfect sense to me.

American cops always escalate.

Why don't we just not police these rioters at all.
Just let them burn and loot all they want so we don't risk escalating things

OR....

We could, oh, I dunno, maybe try DEescalating before things get out of control?

Possibly by not bringing out the tear gas, munitions and riot gear first?

Okay, how many vehicles should we let them burn, how many boulders can they drop on cars off overpasses and how many stores can they loot before the police take action?

That's up to the police. "We" really aren't in a position to make that decision.

What if it was your car or business?
