The police look eerily like Star Wars Storm Troopers...or Nazi Storm Troopers.
...and having thought about what I said, now, after I posted it ...
I am glad we have them there and where ever needed
No they don't. Storm troopers would be goose stepping, ripping down the Bush sign, and shouting "One Country, One People, One Leader" wearing official DNC patches.
These guys are just doing their job.
Yes, they do.
But I hapen to know quite a few of them.
They are the good guys. It's the political leadership that orders them that frightens me.
(sodo)Massachusetts is run by commie nutjobs from the governor on down.
Just good cops trying to keep their city safe from a bunch of loony protesters and from a threat of potential terrorist attack.
Perhaps, but considering they were attempting to quell people who were protesting the DNC because they believed the Democrats were too "right wing", a little "intimidation" may be called for.
