Nice Planet #8: You People Make Me Sick.

Re: Nice Planet #8: You People Make Me Sick.

Everyone: "Police are firing tear gas"
Police: "No, it's smoke."

*one hour later*

Police: "Ok we lied, it's tear gas."

I still don't understand looting private businesses. Burning a Little Caesar's won't change anything, except make it harder for the Tigers to re-sign Scherzer.

Holy crap. Fox is actually debating this on the air rather than allowing someone to scream RACISM!!!

This is awkward and oddly funny.

I never heard about the cops denying the tear gas. I've heard a mixture of smoke and tear gas from the beginning.
 
Re: Nice Planet #8: You People Make Me Sick.

Msnbc was reporting that it was only smoke for as long as I've been watching.

You don't honestly believe that nothing would have happened if the cops hadn't been there do you?

The night would have gone by in peace?

Read it again. I never said the cops shouldn't have been there. I said they shouldn't have been there in riot gear. I think it would've been easier to identify people there trying to make trouble versus people there to protest.
 
Re: Nice Planet #8: You People Make Me Sick.

CNN reported tear gas from the very beginning, then around the time of the "SHE HAD A HEART ATTACK AND THEY JUST THREW TEAR GAS AT HER BALHELKRJS:LJR" someone from the police force told CNN it was only smoke. CNN just reported the police finally said they were in fact firing tear gas.

All you experts of cop tactics, equipment and uniforms give me gas. Police work in these kinds of situations is always ugly, no matter what the cops are wearing. And this nonsense is merely more justification for very bad behavior. The authorities "got" violent, typical, even stereotypical behavior because that's what some folks always do. There's a difference between the freedom riders and thugs looting a liquor store. And that's what they'd done in that same location just three months ago. And that's what some had been planning for in the interim.

There's that broad brush again...

When I was a kid, we played "cops and robbers." Poor kids these days have to play "cops and peace-loving, non-violent, community - activist protesters."

Watching on AJ as they have a reporter embedded with the marchers...the trees alongside the road have Christmas lights on them....surreal...

So some of them should be injured before they don protective gear?
 
Re: Nice Planet #8: You People Make Me Sick.

All of this - every last bit - was gonna happen tonight.

Do you really want the cops out there unprotected or having to leave the area to get appropriately dressed?


Get real.

I'm not justifying behavior. I think the people rioting and looting should be dealt with. But I don't blindly believe that the police have done nothing wrong, that all those people are thugs, that this situation could have been dealt with differently.

What's that line from West Side Story ? "I'm depraved on account of I'm deprived."

As I mentioned before, the cops were letting the protesters do their thing, until some (SOME) protesters decided to trash a cop car. THEN the cops acted. This includes letting some protestors throw things at the cops.

One of the cops was absolutely nailed by a glass bottle and the only response was to carry him off.
