“Every city police department needs to show these thugs that this is not going to work.”
In this instance, it has failed, miserably...
You don’t come at a people already PO’d over your actions, right or wrong, with a wall of guns to intimidate. Bundy Ranch should remind you of how that could end.
They could have made a large, uniformed presence VERY visible, without throwing militarized police in their faces. They could have been in reserve, and arrived in a minute.
The unprofessionalism shown tonight was SHOCKING.
What cop thinks that firing tear gas at reporters is a good thing? And it didn’t happen just once, but NUMEROUS times. And they did it last night, as well.
At the Bundy ranch BLM showed up and pushed people to the ground, sicced dogs on people, and electrocuted others with tazers. These people were protesting verbally.
In St. Louis mobs are looting.
There is no equivalency.
A city police force showing a violent mob of thugs that they are out-manned and out-gunned is the best way to nip this sort of thing in the bud.
They know they are out-manned and out-gunned. They’ll give it up..Black Panthers or no.
As I said, before the Guard showed up, they could loot and burn down half the city.
It’s time to show these ignorant thugs who elected bro Obama this violence is not going to work.
As for the news people, maybe they should have kept their nose out of it and let the police do their jobs.
