Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT), the progressives' ultimate icon, on Tuesday made the ridiculous suggestion that police officers should be banned from using tear gas, pepper spray or rubber bullets as a means of quelling riots. His proclamation comes as violent riots are taking place in Kenosha, Wisconsin after Jacob Blake, a black man, was shot seven times by police officers. Rioters have burned down businesses, looted others and even beat an elderly man for attempting to defend his business. One rioter pulled a gun on a reporter simply doing his job. The right-wing extremist group known as the Boogaloos shot a rioter in the head as he attempted to loot a business. A reporter jumped into action to provide aid to the man.
Despite all of that, Sanders wants to limit the tools police officers have to disband "protestors."
These aren't protestors. These are rioters. Looting, burning down buildings and harming others is the very definition of a riot. If these idiots aren't stopping what they're doing with these tools at cops' disposal, what makes him think that allowing them to carry on will magically make them stop?

Got a riot? Quick! Send in the Social Workers!
I would agree, long past time to stop using non- lethal means to put the enemy combatants down.
I agree with Bernie ...
5.56 will quell the riots more effectively
This is pure BS
> The right-wing extremist group known as the Boogaloos shot a rioter in the head as he attempted to loot a business.
What. The. F***? Does this reporter actually do research before she writes or does she just make s*** up?
Odd he doesn't crow about that as much as he used to. It's the only thing he can point to as an accomplishment in his 50 years of collecting a paycheck from taxpayers.
Poor Bernie. The DNC shafted him and stole his platform. Those are Bernie-bots who are rioting.
Parkinson’s Law applied to social workers states that the number of social problems expands to occupy the number of social workers available.
Next he’ll suggest banning fire departments from using water to fight the fires that rioters start.
Well if they’d been on “Electric Avenue”, maybe.
He’s as senile as Plugs.
Hmmmm. Make’s me wonder whose side Bernie is on. /s
Just like this one in Chicago:
It isn’t working in Portland.
My new tagline...
When seconds count, social workers are days away.
Of course it would work
No tear gas or truncheons are needed by Bernie when University Academics from the Democrat Socialists of America have disagreements while meeting at his New Hampshire lake house.

“The right-wing extremist group known as the Boogaloos shot a rioter in the head as he attempted to loot a business...”
Funny, first time I have heard that reported. Did she make it up?
