60. Well, probably if you are looking at the videos after the police
attacked, many of the weaker people, the children and the elderly, got out of harms way. But most of the photos of the crowd before they attacked, had many different kinds of people, some showing children playing and grandmas and older men. A very mixed group.

I understand what you are saying, but you know what? Every citizen has the right to protest, and catering to these thugs who we now know, have seriously wounded an Iraq Vet, who was wearing a shirt saying 'Veterans For Peace' isn't what needs to be done. He is in intensive care now and may have brain damage.

Frankly I don't think after their brutal attacks last night on innocent, unarmed, peaceful people, anyone feels like adjusting to what they might best react to. What we want a Civilian Police force whose job it is to protect and serve the people who pay their salaries. These are NOT a civilian police force. Their behavior is the that of a foreign military who view the American as a dangerous enemy. They do not work for the people. They attacked the people, indiscriminately, the disabled, the old the young, veterans. They are out of control so the issue is what is going to be done about them?

I am sorry, after looking at the photos of that Iraq Veteran, who did two tours in Iraq bleeding from the head after an encounter in his own country with our so-called civilian police, I can't find any excuse at all for what they did. It's just sad, all of it.
