I don't agree. If the police are attacked by any weapon that can cause injury, they should respond with force.

FR doesn't advocate violence.

"I would also like to remind everyone, that Free Republic does not condone racism and does not advocate violence. We exercise our first amendment rights to free speech and peaceable assembly. We do not condemn people because of their race, religion, ethnicity, skin color, etc. We do not advocate civil war, anarchy, or an overthrow of the government. We do not advocate shooting illegals or mining the borders."

Ok...I'm guilty of assuming you know what you actually said. Here's what YOU wrote:

They should have shot first and then asked questions.

Let me dissect that for you....You said, "they" ( meaning the police..) should have shot FIRST....

And THAT is UNCALLED for...

I won't even get into shooting conventional weapons at bottle throwers...Oh, I understand the arguments..for and against. But this STILL is America..and we don't treat citizens or not...like they do in China/Venezuela/Palestine, et al....
