The city administration obviously told the police to leave them alone, because the officials are in complete agreement with the goals of the leftist anarchists.
Well, reading this, I am led to believe that the next time you ‘plan’ a bank holdup, or even the bodega on the corner, one must inform the police if the citizenry expects the police department to respond.
OH I FORGOT. California being an OPEN CARRY state and all they should be able to let the citizens take care of their own problems and lay off the cops that just want to ‘ride around’ and worry about coffee breaks.
I realize it is NOT the best comparison etc, but WE must remember that Kent State brought an end to the storming of College Admin Buildings etc .
Once these idiots learn that “WE THE PEOPLE” have no problem making them statistics they will stop making these bad decisions.
Of course, the courts AND JURIES etc, find no problem with giving large awards to ‘students’ that get pepper sprayed AFTER being warned to leave the area, so in some respect, it gives the idiots ‘license’ to do what they want with seemingly no consequences - except getting the rest of us to give them cash awards.
So lemmie see if I got this straight: If ONE guy fails to alert police that he is planning to destroy property but just goes ahead and does it police will show up and stop him but if a mob does the same exact thing cops will miss claim no one told them? Wouldn’t seem to make any sense...
Some of the posts on this thread have been self-serving, ignorant drivel. Ever since the last “Occupy” manifestation in Oakland, virtually every cop, who participated in quelling those animals has been under investigation for doing his job. The police department is under a federal consent decree, overseen by a leftist federal judge, who with the acquiesence of the leftist politicians has rendered policing (in Oakland) non-existent. The cops, who can, are bailing-out of that city in droves. Sound familiar? Detroit, Stockton, San Jose ad nauseum?
and cops are supposed to “protect” us......fat chance....we’re on our own....
