Yep.
Just like the SAPS at Marikana:
Killing communists is always a good deed of the day.

Hurling rocks, bricks and even Molotov cocktails, anti-capitalist protesters clashed with police in downtown Seattle Sunday, as May Day mayhem erupted again following a peaceful march.
By 10:30 p.m., at least five officers had been injured and at least nine people had been arrested, Seattle police reported. One injured officer suffered a gash to his head when he was struck by a rock.
Police said Monday that all five officers were at home recovering from their injuries.
The city unleashed a massive deployment of police officers in riot gear — on foot, on bicycles, on horseback and in vehicles — to control the crowd of dozens of masked-protesters who began massing in Westlake Park for the unpermitted march shortly after 5 p.m.
Unlike previous years, however, police quickly herded the mob of several hundred black-clad protesters out of Seattle’s business district, using a choreographed rolling blockade of bicycle officers and vans to shuttle cops in riot gear ahead of the crowd to cut off escape routes.
Before the night was over, the protesters had been marched out of downtown and into the city’s Sodo industrial area, where fewer targets for destruction were available. Along the way, officers at times doused unruly demonstrators with pepper-spray and fired “blast-balls” to control and disperse the crowd.
By about 8:45 p.m., police had surrounded a thinned-out group of demonstrators in the parking lot of Costco on Fourth Avenue South, south of the West Seattle Bridge. There, officers arrested several people, then slowly allowed small groups of the remaining protesters to disperse, while flanking some of them back north toward downtown. (snip)
Among the officers who were hurt, one was struck by a Molotov cocktail, but was not burned. Another officer was bitten, police reported.

This rioting has become a tiresome annual ritual.
Perhaps they could be proactive - celebrate the ‘4/20’ ‘’holiday’’ on May 1st?
Not exactly "The Safety Dance", though.
Dancing around the Maypole.
So that’s what it is!
I always thought it was some kind of Vermont holiday,
dancing around a Maple...
Then there was always the Toronto Maypole Leafs...
9 ?, 9 ?, Really?? Sounds like it should have been more like 900..
Yep.

Those “hurling rocks, bricks and even Molotov cocktails” should have been shot with real bullets.
Batons would do nicely, a la Chicago, 1968.
Where is the National Guard when we need them?
I believe it is called a “Mahogany Shampoo”.
We did this at my grade school in Kansas during the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. Practiced every day for two weeks before so we would get it right. All the girls dressed in pink dresses with white aprons and pink and white ribbons on the Maypole. Fun memory.
I have an oak baton...a good ol’ fashioned billy club. A Google search for “mahogany shampoo” turns up a bunch of herbal shampoo.
Post “Pledge of Allegiance.”
Heh, I heard a Freeper refer to it as that, and I thought it was wonderfully descriptive and rolls off the tongue!
Oak is probably more factually descriptive, though...:)
And a hell of a lot harder.
Kill them where they stand.
As long as it is harder than the heads of anarchists, I am fine with it!
