Oh man, cops had to suffer through bruises? It's shocking no one murdered people because a few of them bruised cops, couldn't agree more.

Obviously the cops shouldn't shoot the rioters(at least with real bullets), but you would think they would be more aggressive. I'm less convinced that it was a tactical assessment, and more of an order from the top to not escalate. Police departments don't want to be seen roughing up rioters because it'll be shown on every news network all week.



Maybe I missed the post, who suggested the police should shoot the rioters?

a rock that can bruise can kill. dont downplay violence when its in your favor. I'm guessing the reason we don't have any more serious injuries is due to the riot gear, but one slipped helmet and we could be burying someone today rather than patching them up.

This violence, just like BLM violence, emboldens the opposition and potentially turns away possible independent minded allies. Its just bad news all the way around ,even though small in scale, the media runs with this shit for days exaggerating the issue. Riots that refuse to disperse can be constructive, riots that throw rocks arent IMO. Perhaps in the face of oppressive tyranny but not in the face of oppressive orange tans.



True true, it was likely a top down order. I think if a cop dropped dead though it would have been a different scene. We need another 10 years into development of non-lethals and these issues will be less of an issue. Shit there are still a lot of depts that dont stock tasers on their officers.

Endless made a pretty blatant reference to trump supporters shooting people, like, right there?

And please, throwing rocks at people in armor is about as dangerous as shooting Nerf at them.

Don some armor, 8th grade back up QB waiting with a rock to test your theory.

Is a lie still a lie now that WaPo's reporting finally guilt tripped him into paying up, or do we only get to call it a lie when referring to the period from late January to last week, when he pretended he donated $1 million of his own money to charity? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/05/24/four-months-later-donald-trump-says-he-gave-1-million-to-veterans-group/

And we're just talking about the one, not all those other "personal donations" he's made over the years that he didn't actually make.

The wall just got 10 feet higher.

REMINDER: 100% of illegal immigrants have committed a crime

99.99% of Americans have committed a crime, lol.

TRUMP FOR THE FUCKIN WIN
