I am a strong supporter of police and I have nothing but respect for what they do. That said, my gut tells me that if the protestors had been white conservatives protesting against mexican immigration the police would have handled it differently. I really have no idea though because I wasn’t there to see what happened and I know better than to base my opinion on a news clip and a news story.
Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time. I don’t know either, but it never hurts to ask.
The cops sure would have handled it differently if it were a rally or protest of white male conservatives postesting illegal mexican immigration. As would the news media. The white male conservatives who broke the law would have been treated way differently, the cops would have shot them and the MSM would be reporting what a wonderful job the riot police did for curtailing the violence. But because it was a minority, illegal at that, protesting violently and assaulting the riot police, and a so called journalist too stupid to get out of the way, and the riot police doing what they were trained to do, it’s all about how horrible the riot police behaved and how they broke the law.
It’s becoming a crime to be a white male conservative, protesting anything, or even being a white male. A white male in this country has little if any rights. Fortunately, I’m a white female so I still have the gender thing going on. I could claim a gender crime or a gender discrimination of some sort. Doesn’t matter if it’s true, I can still claim it. A white male has nothing and still has to fight all the minorities (be them women, race, etc). And it doesn’t matter how intelligent his argument is, the fact he’s a white male negates everything else.
Again, if it were white conservatives protesting mexican immigration (and illegal immigration) the police would have handled it differently possibly but the outcome would be different. You wouldn’t hear whining from white conservatives about how badly they were treated by the horrible police. Maybe it’s because they really do value what it means to be a cop, what it means to follow the law of this country. If it were white conservatives protesting against illegal mexican or even legal immigration, the police wouldn’t have HAD to resort to defensive measures to control the situation. How many riots occur because white conservatives, meaning white males, violate the laws of this country? Not too many from what I’ve researched lately. White conservatives, white males mostly, can’t protest anything without being labeled some sort of derogatory term and reamed in main stream media.
Fortunately, I’m a female so I still have the gender thing going for me.
