1. Those protestors did it right, as soon as a cop jumps on one of you, you jump in also.

You become too close for the rest to do much and the airguns rounds don't have time to travel and pick up speed and don't hurt as much.

My two cents.

They start the violence, and then arrest local people violently, for "resisting", and "assaulting an officer".

officer = overseer

Disgusting abuse of people by paid thugs,. their mission is to dehumanize and disempower the people.

No attack dogs, no fire hoses, they forgot their klansman backup....seriously fuzzies, just google Selma-Edmund-Pettus-Bridge. Or Bull-Connor-Birmingham. Those Fuzzies could get the job done.

Sorry but you lost the first time, You will lose the second time. And I hope you never have to explain to your children and grandchildren why you were beating black people. on TV.

Even though we have no money for Social Security, healthcare-for-all, or programs like SNAP, we will borrow money like there is no tomorrow to go to War .

From October 2011

<snip>


JPMorgan Chase recently donated an unprecedented $4.6 million to the New York City Police Foundation. The gift was the largest in the history of the foundation and will enable the New York City Police Department to strengthen security in the Big Apple. The money will pay for 1,000 new patrol car laptops, as well as security monitoring software in the NYPD’s main data center.

New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly sent CEO and Chairman Jamie Dimon a note expressing “profound gratitude” for the company’s donation.

13. A protest march through a mall parking lot would have been bad for business.

Can't have that happening, oh no, we can't allow that. It's far better to enrage people to the point their march becomes a riot.
