However, on the same tip, the Police are fully and well protected from all physical harm, save an armor-piercing bullet. So, they overreacted with force by using weaponized tear gas and shooting an unarmed American vet in the head. This is not America.


Neither is claiming ownership of something that isn't yours. The Occupy Oakland people didn't heed warnings by the police to leave the park. Many did leave; but a group decided that they had a right to camp out there, which they don't. Some of that group decided to respond with violence. Two officers were injured by their actions. The police had reason to respond with tear gas. Some may have gone over the line or acted without thinking of the repercussions to civilians. Those men should be reprimanded. But neither side is without blame in this. Occupy protestors in Atlanta and Little Rock were able to go without injuries, violence, or tear gas in similar situations. That's some weaponized truth for ya.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
