Does your city suck this much?

I really cant believe this. The march had been approved by the city, and it hadn't gotten out of hand. And these weren't even hippies, they were just highschoolers! Is there anyway to justify this? If you have had anything like this happen to you, please share.

I have just learned, thanks to the Fox news (not that bias on local stuff) that a few bad apples among them stopped a car, but to me that still does not justify the attack.

I'm guessing this isn't the whole part of the story, a large group of police officers don't go off brutalizing people for no good reason.

 

[A Weary Exile]

I never understood why police are so brutal to protesters, yeah sometimes they throw rocks but that means you should arrest that guy not start beating everything that moves. Unless they bring out the molotovs police have to learn show to more restraint.

 

[Chicago Ted]

Do you have any sources with more detail?

 

[Milkatron]

And I thought my town was bad for banning fast food.

 

[Chicago Ted]

I guessing this isn't the whole side of the story, 35 police officers don't go off brutalizing people for no good reason.

Ya, I feel that there's something the article's not telling us. To sum it up in 2 paragraphs is not a good idea, hence why I'm asking for another source.

 

[Aqualung]

Wow, that's horrible. But no, my city isn't bad. In fact, we're really quite good- you should see our Gay Pride Parade. There are quite a few friendly cops there. ;p

Indy Media? And their source is... a very unprofessional looking website(EDIT:One that uses a lot of Capslock, and misspells basic wordz)? Methinks you need a better source before becoming outraged.

Also:

I guessing this isn't the whole side of the story, a large group of police officers don't go off brutalizing people for no good reason.

Especially not if the city pre-approved the march.

that's pretty awful, my area's cops are the definition of incompetent, i guy in our area was killed three years ago in the middle of day, he was well know throughout the community,he was killed a month after going through a divorce and custody battle for his kid, no subject's or arrest's.

now tell me, how the hell did the police department not find any subjects with all this information flying at them.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

That kind of sounds like a one sided story...

I wish my city was that interesting. The coolest thing that's happening in my city is that they're opening a Smoothie King next week. Absolutely nothing goes on in suburban Tennessee. Why do you think I use the internet?

 

[Worgen]

its really weird, its like if your protesting for peace then its like a call for these asshats to attack but if your protesting something stupid like thoes teabagger dicks then you never get the beating you so richly deserve

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Yes mine sucks. Maybe not *quite* this bad... But Adelaide, South Australia is a very boring place filled with idiot politicians... I guess it's not that different from anywhere else really.

 

[Souplex]

No; I live in the flawless utopia that is Brooklyn. At least it will be flawless until the Yuppies and Hipsters ruin it.

 

[Wakefield]

No my city is awesome. Its Halifax. You may have heard all about it.

Dude my city is even worse than yours. It's not even that far away. Just look for the two ominous nuke towers.

Edit: And the noxious cloud that arose from the hordes of subhumanoids that follow the welfare trail....

I will concur. Halifax is a badass place.

And my city is fairly decent. About as good as the largest city in Canada can get (fucking garbage strike).

 

[Smagmuck_]

Oh, that's nice. People opposing the war in Afganastan, coming from a Marine Corps family, hearing that makes me want punch a hole in the fucking wall in my room. That ***** deserved to be tackled into a light pole. No, you now what? Fuck the people who oppose the war, when americas' men and women are taking rounds from pussies hiding in caves. GOD DAMMIT! Why the hell to idiots like this say stuff like that, oh yeah, that would be smart, let the Taliban win, that would do some FUCKING good. I don't even care if I get probation for this. Fuck the people calling the U.S military facits, fuck the taliban and fuck anyone who opposes freedom in the middle east! AGH!

Agreed. My old global studies teacher just got back from a tour in Kandahar (?), and since I have a face to put to the war, I support it now more than ever.

He also brought in slides of him and his Guard buddies racing the Afghanis up mountain trails while both sides carried at least fifty pound rucksacks.

Guess who won?
