Several of the protesters were injured in the clash, with one taken away unconscious by an ambulance.

The migrants, mostly Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans, say that local authorities on the Aegean island are not processing them quickly enough so they can continue their journey to western Europe. …

Mohammad’s doctrine is to subjugate the world - this refugee influx into the non-Muslim world looks like another big push to do his will.

I wanted in on this thread but the battery-operated batons says it all. I enjoyed the laugh at 6 a.m. Mountain.

Nothing breaks up a riot quicker than a mounted division of police running their horses at full gallop swinging 4-5 foot batons...My dad was a mounted cop in detroit during the 30-40s. There were race riots, labor riots and the mounted men with batons cleaned up riot area's real quick...guns were not even used. Those that know Detroit know about Belle Isle, a 7 acre city park in the middle of the Detroit River. It has a mounted barn and division just like all of the city parks. The road is about 1-2 miles from Jefferson...during one of the riots, labor or race I don't remember but the bridge had a large fight...knives and throwing people off the bridge into the river...

My father was involved in "clearing off the bridge". The road was lined with horses, and cops with batons....no guns. When the order was given by the commander, the horses were put onto a gallop, the men riding them were swinging batons....when the cops reached the other side of the bridge, it was cleared of everyone...they didn't care which side got their heads busted...the order was clear the bridge....lots of people jumped into the Detroit river, didn't matter if they knew how to swim or not...

He also was involved in labor riots at the Ford plant...a horse and a billy club make for good riot clearing, and the men riding the horses knew what they were doing. My father was also one of the trainers of the horses to see if they would make good mounts for the police...Not all horses made the cut....
