I don't support their cause (socialism and fake anarchy).


Wait, are you certain that's their aim? Where do you get that info?

At the same time I don't think general verbal and visual assholery justifies police brutality. If the protesters weren't acting in a manner that warranted the use of force, the officers involved were wrong.


Agreed.

Of course, even if the police are guilty here (and I don't discount that possibility one bit), that doesn't mean America has turned into an Orwellian police state, despite what the Niles Crane lookalike on MSNBC says. It simply means some cops are bad.


I don't know, man. I think you're not seeing the forest for the trees. The media has this on a blackout, EXCEPT MSNBC. Which is why I was forced to use them. No one else is reporting this stuff, and it's been going on for five days now. I think this will only get worse...
