Putting the picture of the Chicago cop punching a protester in context [View all]	wndycty	May 2012	OP
Sorry, that doesn't fit the preferred narrative here.	11 Bravo	May 2012	#1
Thanks for this perspective, wndy.	elleng	May 2012	#2
How convenient. Leaving off the first shot showing this asshole	Egalitarian Thug	May 2012	#3
Hey, feel free to add that	nobodyspecial	May 2012	#5
The police didn't wade into shit. The march was over, there was an agreement between organizers. .	wndycty	May 2012	#6
If you had a point to make...	Wait Wut	May 2012	#92
The city stereotypes itself. I lived there many years and nothing has changed at all. n/t	Egalitarian Thug	May 2012	#127
Listen to these guys for once. That whole 1968 thing was just a left wing myth.	Zalatix	May 2012	#128
Chicago in 1968 was a set up by agent provocateurs of the right	ProudToBeBlueInRhody	May 2012	#136
That was over 40 years ago.	Wait Wut	May 2012	#141
Well said. Those nutters who say history repeats itself need to adjust their tinfoil hats!	Zalatix	May 2012	#142
Waste of tinfoil	Wait Wut	May 2012	#143
Yup, things change, you tell 'em!	Zalatix	May 2012	#144

You know a cop got stabbed by a protester on Saturday, but of course the defenders will defend that	wndycty	May 2012	#8
Oh, they don't have to defend it	nobodyspecial	May 2012	#10
Who here is going to defend a cop getting stabbed? What a ridiculous projection that is. n/t	EFerrari	May 2012	#14
I thought you might sense you were defending the other acts of lawlessness . . .	wndycty	May 2012	#26
Boy, how disgusting is that. n/t	EFerrari	May 2012	#59
she was? where was that?	HiPointDem	May 2012	#121
I'm so glad	jehop61	May 2012	#73
Did not hear that. Do you have a link?	midnight	May 2012	#133
of course	facetious_badger	May 2012	#155
Not in the pic are corporate employees and owners in their offices high above all this. Laughing,	jtuck004	May 2012	#7
Huh, what?	wndycty	May 2012	#9
so this photo means it's okay for that other cop to punch the protestor?	CreekDog	May 2012	#13
The cops were defending themselves. Did you notice the cop who had the wood broken over his head. .	wndycty	May 2012	#16
That cop was being pushed into the crowd by his colleagues.	EFerrari	May 2012	#63
well you're defending what another cop did by what a picture of a different cop shows	CreekDog	May 2012	#93
I agree with you, wndy	frazzled	May 2012	#11
Where would we be without the police escorting us around our own cities, negotiating our rights	EFerrari	May 2012	#12
DO you know why the folks were escorted?	wndycty	May 2012	#15
Because protesters are too stupid not to play in traffic?	EFerrari	May 2012	#18
You watched a live stream while I was in the middle of it. . .sure I will take your fucking word. .	wndycty	May 2012	#27
Even more impressive.	Union Scribe	May 2012	#32
SO you think the quality of seeing something on a live stream is much more accurate. . .	wndycty	May 2012	#33
You are absolutely right!	randome	May 2012	#34
Watching on several livestreams and NOT seeing protesters attacking cops speaks many truths.	Fire Walk With Me	May 2012	#40
Again I keep hearing that second hand and live streams trump what I saw with my own eyes. . .	wndycty	May 2012	#43
You saw that, and I did not. I saw this, and you did not.	Fire Walk With Me	May 2012	#48
Actually, I think it does	quakerboy	May 2012	#110
It is equal.	Union Scribe	May 2012	#46
No, I don't. Because that livestream didn't try to justify cr@P to me	EFerrari	May 2012	#55
You said what I was thinking!	Fire Walk With Me	May 2012	#113

K&R for a much needed sensible post.	Gidney N Cloyd	May 2012	#17
How much did Chicago taxpayers pay for these "escorts", do you think,?	EFerrari	May 2012	#21
The crowd that you see on the other side of the cops is the crowd that was picking fights. . .	wndycty	May 2012	#25
No. I watched livestreams and cops demanded an entirely peaceful gathering disperse or face arrest.	Fire Walk With Me	May 2012	#38
"...who the hell is to say those weren't cops?"	randome	May 2012	#47
the police did admit it had infiltrated the black bloc	2pooped2pop	May 2012	#74
