I hate cops and I know most are dirty, but this is total bs.

Trump 2020 - that is all. Thanks

OH PS! Everyone seems to have no memory what so ever of State/Local officials who broke out military grade crowd disbursement weapons on "protests" all over the country when Obama was in office.. Pathetic as shit.. Maybe America needs a blood letting?

I remember a bunch of Nevada RANCHERS who protested encroaching corrupt govt ..

And they got brutally beat to shit, incarcerated for yrs and some got murdered in broad daylight!

Who was the Pres then??? Hmm, anyone member??? lol

Whataboutism. What about Obama? What about Hilary's emails? Sure, I killed that guy, but what about Dahmer? He killed people too!

Despite you simpletons not getting it, the situation is pretty simple. The Fed has overstepped its bounds -- something republicans used to care about.

Governor Brown is not up for reelection, but you would think she is by the way she's trying to walk the political tightrope on this issue as opposed to doing her job and protecting her state's sovereignty. She needs to mobilize state police and/or deploy the guard and arrest these clowns if they attempt to illegally detain a citizen.

The fact that people are more concerned about vandalism than they are about authoritarian use of power by the Fed is gobsmacking to me. I guess federal overreach is only a problem when it's being done by the people on the other side of the political fence?

Don’t worry, Hobart. Your team will get to abuse this same apparatus to harass the other side once you manage to wrest control of the office of potus again. git gud or stay mad.

The feds are defending federal property, they have jurisdiction to be there, and are generally only tear gassing the angry mob of insane people when a firework mortar or ball bearing (both of which can easily kill somebody) comes flying at their skulls. But then of course a bunch of brave moms stand in front of the psycho idiot 20 year olds cosplaying revolutionaries and cnn gets to write a super objective article titled "feds tear gas MOMS??!?!".

Feds being bad (in cases where they actually are) is bad. Cops being bad is bad. Violent riots that needlessly destroy property and neighborhoods which may never recover economically from said rioting is also bad, especially when the local cops have been ordered to allow it to happen. There I solved it thread over.

Doug is right.

When local and state law enforcement won't quell anarchy, it falls to the federal government to restore order.

If you are peacefully demonstrating, you are well within your 1st amendment right

When you destroy property and injure or kill people, you are Waging War.

These people launching fireworks and molotovs are no longer legal protestors, they are more akin to Taliban Insurgents and should be treated as such.

People are confusing protesting with terrorism

also the protesting isnt doing anything so time to give up and get jobs

Some of us care and will be voting for Biden. I’ll be voting republican at the state level though

I agree, protesting shouldn’t be a right for the unemployed

Considering the actions of the "protestors" getting vanned, and their ideological underpinnings and how that relates to fundamentally transforming the american way of life, i wouldnt give a shit if they escalated from vanning them, to just mowing them down in the streets tianamen square style.

Hope this helps.

Rights are derived from God, dingus.

What's the alternative theory?

I'm not on the other side, Trumptard. I'm more aligned with the few sane republicans left -- the ones voting for Biden.

You have bad news sources. The FPS are well within their rights to do this, but their actions are not confined to federal property which turns their policing into, essentially, kidnapping.

The fact that most are let go without charges proves this.

Mostly the same. About 70/30 at the state and local level.

Because of where I live, I have the same problem with Democrats that sane Republicans do in red states. You have to be a nutjob to win a primary it seems.
