(2,770 posts)Its time for the mayor and city council and civilian police boards to do their jobs. What cops were on duty? Where were they when this occurred? Indeed, WHY wasnt police presence as robust as during peaceful protests? If elected officials and police answerable to those elected officials and the citizenry dont follow through, people need to show up at council meetings and other such public meetings and ask questions until there are some actual answers. Enough with the empty oh-thats-just-how-the-police-are! Time for citizens and voters to hold the feet of these people to the flame. Arent people effin sick of this?

Beware of more incidents like this. Trump would love to use violence in the streets as an excuse to declare a national emergency.

(17,425 posts)I get the feeling that way deep down, many of them are wondering exactly what the fuck they are doing this for.
They appear soft, and they can't throw a punch.
Now, I'm not saying that they will not hurt people, because they can and will. But, when they will pull this shit on someone who wants to, and knows how to fight, they will hit the ground three at a time. When they wake up face down on the sidewalk a few times, they will take their marbles and go home. Simply because they are unwilling to really stand for what they think they believe in.
They are fucking losers, and can barely generate any fear even when they are in large groups. They are lost, and they know they are lost. They are the opposite of "proud".
They don't know who they are. They are looking for something they will never find.
