[QUOTE="mpok1519, post: 58988643, member: 195261"] If theres a riot, it really doesn't matter what people are yelling. A riot is bad because its a riot. A protest doesn't become a riot just because people are yelling "Pig!" to the cops. Duh. Since when does yelling things mean gasing people, brutalizing them with nightsticks, and shooting them? The crowd was protesting. PEacefully. Did you see bottles, rocks, or any weapons being thrown, or any projectiles hitting the cops? Its safe to assume the protesters were within their rights to assemble. Well, safe, if one is rational. I can't say its safe to assume anything if one is an idiot. This is you admitting that they're idiots. So why should their word matter? Also, the cameraman wasn't saying, anything. So, according to your justification, he shouldn't have been shot with a rubber bullet, since he wasn't saying, ANYTHING. He was video taping. Ive done that on several occasions at protests. I flipped them off too. No one shot me. Some cops laughed, but they didn't respond with violence. You're just defending jackboot thuggery. why fall into the group of statist bootlickers? [/QUOTE]
