"Peaceful" protesters need baseball bats?

I am sure the FBI will get right on it.

When I was growing up, it was common knowledge that hitting a cop over the head with a bat would likely result in return fire.

I think that’s still true in most places.

DeBlasio has must have put in Obama-style rules of engagement.

Just a “small” shipment of bats, not a large one, so it’s ok.

Keeps the riots mostly peaceful.

[Chainmail]

OK - who was that guy and who does he belong to?

Time to roll them up.

A shipment of bats?

What are they trying to do, start a new COVID-19 outbreak?

I took a carbon fiber bat and put a couple pounds of bird shot in it. To make an exercise tool...

Bricks have been seen placed in the path of “peaceful protests”. Now we have proof of bats.

For better or and for worse, every inch of New York City has some camera on it. The cops make sure of it. If there is any stretch of the street that is "dark" (meaning no surveillance camera points there) they will contact your building and offer to advise you on how to install cameras for your safety.

So I am 100% sure that the cops can trace each one of those guys, and each one of those bats, from where they were that moment to where they are now.

If they want to.

My feeling now is that the police are so pissed off many or most are resigning (literally or figuratively).

But after being bashed over the head with a baseball bat, New York's highest ranking policeman may inclined to turn the other temple, and kneel down before the protesters again as he did before. Or he may be reminded of this speech:

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and ...

Not supporting this in any way, but calling 6 baseball bats in a trunk a “shipment” is a little misleading...

[HighSierra5]

Vampire bats?

[antidemoncrat]

Just like the pallets of bricks that just happens to laying around during the “peaceful” protests. Smells like Georgie Soros helping destroy our Republic.

[bk1000]

Need to stop calling them protesters. They aren’t protesting anything. They are just out for mayhem.

The FIB is too busy investigating noose incidents in Chicago and Alabama

[gunnut]

If only the police had a weapon to protect themselves.....

The leftist have accomplished what they want to do in neutering the police.

[Trillian]

Don’t you love how they keep saying these things aren’t planned and paid for?
