Reply #174: Easy questions indeed

And you give patently stupid answers. Outsiders in a tight knit group? At a protest with thousands? Have you ever been to a protest? Without riot gear on I mean.

They had a rock to blend in, but no one else in the video has one in their hands? That's not fitting in, that's setting a precedent.

Again, should I laugh, or be mad that a FR regular is posting here?

The idea that the G20 and your average police officer are on the side of good and the people protesting bad is childish. That's why people are flaming you here. You stretch and stretch to make it so, but it just ain't.

If you want to say both sides fuel the violence, as is the case in most conflicts, then fine. I wish people wouldn't get hurt at these summits too. But if you want to pretend that the way the G20 run the world is fine and that defending them with dirty tricks is the same as stopping any other crime, you will never have an easy time here on DU.

Again, what these cops were doing at the protest is widely accepted. You've yet to provide a source which claims they were not there to stir up shit.
