Honestly, you have to take into consideration what was taking place back there. This department sought to go on record that the rioting as over. It’s that simple.
Folks, I agree if this were a situation out of the blue that officers were setting up shop on an intersection, and doing something to protect illegal activity, it would be wrong.
In a riot situation, the town being destroyed, people who live it the area in danger of being killed or seriously harmed, it’s not abuse to meet idiots with brute force.
I do not see this as some bell-weather event, now making it possible for every police department to show this type of force all the time when there is no rioting.
Surely you can understand these are not normal circumstances.
Surely you can understand that this show-and-tell of our new fully armored and militarized Civilian Security Force sets a precedent.
So the next time Americans go to protest Illegals being bussed into their community - we should expect an armored column of Security Forces like this to be there ‘for our protection’. Then we should just suck it up and disperse when told we have to go home because stopping the busses is deemed as a ‘riot’ by the Authorities.
Yes?
As with all tyrannies, ‘circumstances’ become relative and what is ‘normal’ today is illegal tomorrow.
Or perhaps you think such cannot happen here when it is unfolding before your eyes?
