"They chose violence and vandalism over respectful communications"

[IDemo]

Anaheim mayor Tom Tait, commenting on protesters of the police department's killing of two men, unleashing attack dogs and firing bean bags at women and children.

Why couldn't they be respectful communicators like Officer Friendly?

1. Funny how he doesn't think to apply that same standard to the

Anaheim pigs who shot and killed two unarmed men on two successive nights.

2. The only vandalism mentioned was a dumpster fire -

if the cops knew who started the fire, they should have arrested that person rather than firing on a crowd of bystanders!

3. Respect has to be EARNED, Tommy-boy.

Your thugs-with-badges haven't earned respect, they've earned return fire. You should be thankful they haven't received any. The patience of your constituents, who are dying at the hands of your police department, isn't going to be infinite. Start acting like a goddamned leader and work to fix this situation before there's further tragedy and bloodshed.
