[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3373121, member: 1132"] That’s just crazy talk! I’ve spent most of the evening arguing with the idiots on r/Tulsa that they had no right to menace that family with the horse trailer. But then... After r/Tulsa I widened my scope and watched video after video after video of riot police straight up assaulting and injuring non-combative, compliant citizens. Dragging people behind buildings to evade cameras and 3 on 1 beating and kicking a proned out subject, hunting down press/camera crews for videoing them, shooting peaceful protesters with pepper ball guns, jumping and dragging down people videoing protests who don’t resist in any way and applying pain compliance techniques, several instances of officers choking and even kneeling on people’s necks, tasing a man who was having a seizure, literally drive by shooting protesters with pepper ball guns for STANDING on sidewalks, Refusing to allow protesters to leave so they can arrest them for “curfew violations”, chasing protesters into stranger’s homes and forcing them to shelter there overnight, literally walking down a residential street and shooting residents With rubber bullets and pepper balls for standing ON THEIR OWN PORCHES, after the mayor POSTED online that this activity was allowed, then shadow editing the website to say it was prohibited after the police shot them! There were more than a few anecdotal instances of outright lawlessness by the police. Open and flagrant criminal acts. Willful and intentional constitutional and civil rights violations. Several of these incidents literally made me ask whether they were trying to incite an armed insurrection, because it made ME want to take up arms against them. I try to be a reasonable man but the inhumanity I’m seeing in some of these places is enough to make my blood boil. Trump is wrong on this one. He should be standing with the protesters, not the cops. Yes I’m seeing cops and NG standing with protesters in some places and I commend them, but in some places the cops have become literal thugs. It’s repugnant and must stop. Barr needs to be investigating agencies oppressing citizens en masse. To quote one of my favorite movies, this business will get out of control and we’ll all be lucky to live through it. We’re sitting on a powder keg of civil unrest on multiple fronts. Someone’s going to make a really bad mistake and it will be open warfare. This is not a joke and no one should be taking it lightly. Now isn’t the time for flippant statements. Practice conflict avoidance and of you’re going anywhere near population centers, I’d recommend carrying 1st aid supplies and emergency provisions, not to mention a rifle and armor if you have it. Most of all, pray that cooler heads prevail before we live to regret this mess. :( [/QUOTE]
