Reply #13: It entirely depends on what they're kitted out with, Nadine. Quan can go fuck herself.

From everything I've read, she is responsible for this grotesque misuse of the Oakland police force.

If this is true, we'll both get a much clearer answer when we see what these soldiers are armed with, if anything. I just finished watching this http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x628861">this video of the '68 DNC riots and right in the opening of the video you can see a light machine gun set up on the ground as well as numerous armed and bayonetted troops. Obviously, times have changed, but if these boots are on the ground it's going to tell me a lot to see what they're armed with.
