This is where I find the parallels some drew between Nazis and Pinellas Park police horrifying. Pinellas Park police are pretty much like any small town police I have no doubt whatsoever that if the Florida National Guard was there, instead of the Pinellas Park police, they'd have gotten the same reception from Randall Terry & Co.
"We support our troops if we support their mission. If not, they're Nazis."
Sound familiar? You know it does. You also know that these people bravely calling the cops names won't hesitate a second to call 911 when they need help.

If I called 911 at work, I worried that the police could have called for were busy "baby sitting" and not ready to show up. I support the cops as I support our troops, regardless if I cooperate or agree with their duty.
Anytime I have had been in a place where police were involved, and I can't comply with what they asked of me, I answer calmly, "That is not a lawful order, Officer". I have only ever been escorted away. I do not think falling limp is a good tactic, and neither do they.
What they did with the children and seeing the Schindlers did not accompany the "protesters" in the Styrofoam cup episodes, I think this was reprehensible. It was cheap theatrics, for the TV cameras and had no purpose. Ghandi was always the first person to be arrested.
