I just happened to see the video on CNN of the hobo getting hit by the bean bag guns because he was holding a small camping knife after he agreed to leave. And then they sent the dog on him, to make sure he was disarmed I think. Actually, I'll just link you to the video. I think it IS police brutality in this one, borne of police cowardice. The force used was definitely disproportional to the threat presented. You can try to evaluate the info in the rest of the video about other incidents. http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/crime/2014/06/19/erin-dnt-griffin-new-mexico-police-killings.cnn&iref=allsearch&video_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2Fsearch%2F%3Fquery%3Dalbuquerque%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%26primaryType%3Dmixed%26sortBy%3Drelevance%26intl%3Dfalse

tfw you haven't had a summer vacation in 5 or 6 years. I've had a vacation or two during the summer, but they didn't span the length of the summer.

You do realize the only additions to that truck are platforms on the sides and top where the cops can stand/ride. Oh so scary that more of them can hang on like a dude riding trolley or they now have a platform from which to have a better vantage or speak out to crowds. Like chickens with their heads cut off for no reason. The paranoia is real guys. The police are just as armed as the army. Where are my rocket launchers and recoilless rifles? Where are my heavy machine guns and automatic rifles? Where are my attack choppers and shinooks? WWhere are my grenade launchers. II take it none of you have stopped to think how they do pretty much the same things. Enter and clear rooms that may or may not contain armed hostiles. Patrol the streets and enforce order where there is always a chance of getting shot at. You know what those gadgets are? GPS, radios, multitools. Crowd control- rubber bullets, bean bag launchers, CS gas, flash bangs, batons, cuffs, shields, tazers. All that stuff to keep people and officers at a safe distance from one another and failing that, nonlethal methods of halting and restraining people. Because if you can't stay behind the lines where you're allowed to protest and approach the cops, you think they're going to believe you have good intentions? You forget how dynamic and dangerous groupthink is. you forget the massive soccer stadium fights. you forget student riots that escalate into looting and property damage, like flipped cars.

They happened in Albuquerque, where Godot lives. Which is how he got a small taste of what the gas can do. cuz attention to details

Banned for dragons.

Karpy, I've never heard of CS being banned by anyone of any country by any treaty. You're probably thinking of other gases. Like the lethal ones and shit. Winter I like how you spout reading like you know what you're talking about. CS gas is what they use in military and police training. We purposely get gassed. It's not nearly as bad as your reading makes it out to be. Especially in open, outside spaces where people are free to move and leave- which is the point anyways. You would have to be deliberately keeping yourself in the gas cloud/right next to the canister to for it to start to be overbearing, even for those more sensitive to it. (mind you, I've been purposely exposed to high doses of it in small enclosed rooms and was not let out until after a certain time, multiple times in a row) It is actually quite easy to wash off in a shower. It burns, the natural and correct response is to get away. And getting sweat, water on the affected area does initiate the burning sensation again. Which is more akin to a mild sunburn and really doesn't last that long if you were smart enough to get out of the way. Getting hit in the head by a canister. Is this really a huge concern? Really? What if you tripped and fell and got trampled by the rest of the crowd? herp derp. What moron still brings children to the protest/riot lines at night after all this time? This shouldn't be a thing. I keep hearing this thing about innocent civilians and not enough of how there some civilians who aren't so innocent mixed among them in the crowds. Or how the crowds, like in the video I last linked are deliberately disobeying reasonable commands and control lines. "It's not a warzone." But you have a large group of people who are potentially armed with guns and/or knives. Expect rabbits but prepare for bear. You guys see their gear, but they have their weapons, and stuff that holds the rest of their nonlethal equipment, like handcuffs and zip ties and radios and tools and you get your panties in a bunch about being militarized. Helmets are for safety. Gas masks are so the police can stand in place and enforce their lines if/when people toss the canisters back at them. If you think they look all that rough and tough, it's because you don't have a trained eyed for these things. It's people psyching themselves out and panicking. Why are people afraid of armored vehicles? It means if people start shooting, the cops will be safe inside. Do you expect them to run people over? I don't see the mounted machine gun at the top of those vehicles that the military would have. CS gas is still better than getting shot by rubber bullets and shit, and keeps the cops out at a safe distance and out of reach of the crowds. I mean, I suppose some of you people would prefer a riot shield line with batons and mace and side arms and direct contact and much higher potential for injury for law enforcement and protesters alike. Or go back to hosing people down from fire hydrants. I see total panic and a lack of informed perspective. And as far as Godot is concerned, his information is second via myself and at least one mutual friend who is in the airforce.

Name: Lucifer/Helel Villain/Other: scapegoat Powers/abilities/weaknesses: the greatest of all god's angels, I rebelled because the idea of serving inferior, flawed humans as being beneath me. No weaknesses. Bio: I test mankind through trials and tribulations. Every time a man or woman succumbs to temptation and vice is yet more proof that I was right. god could stop me, but he won't. He relies on me for his dirty work, to be the one to cause the conflict that tests a man's resolve. I am what god made me to be. Why blame me for all of his... all of your sins?

Nevermind the video I saw earlier today of people breaking into stores and stealing shit in Ferguson. At night, mind you. Can't find it atm, stupid CNN news. something in the meantime. Dudes looting a liquor store. Which is nowhere near the stampede I saw on tape. http://fox2now.com/2014/08/16/crisis-in-ferguson/ reporters mistaking gas canisters for stun grenades. Fucking noobs. http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/19/us/missouri-teen-shooting/index.html?hpt=us_c1 I didn't say most protesters, but more than enough to keep the police out there at night. More than enough that store owners are now standing by their stores with guns. "many of them dressed for combat." Like a deployment, you never know when some angry asshat is gonna shoot at you with a gun. There have been shootings during the riot. And not by police officers. The reporters look at the riot shields and batons like they're excessive for crowd control. The ignorant look at the gear and say, oh, they're prepared for combat. Without knowing what that gear even means. As a soldier, I see minimal gear. they're wearing shit that carries magazines. I can't even be sure their gear is large enough to be carrying anti-ballistic plates. Even according to the photographer gassed, the people did not leave when asked to. Instead they dragged traffic cones (likely meant to mark the limit where it was okay to stand and protest) up to the police line and used a torn out traffic sign that said do not enter. Gee, I wonder why they reacted with riot control tactics. Herp derp. I'm not convinced this is a one sided blame story here. At all.

I thought they were the weakest among the whole series. When you got to control the other ally characters, they were all weak, toned down versions compared to what they are when you fight against them.

The kkk are staying in one spot and aren't looting at night. Police claim instigators hiding among the crowds and night doing things instigators do, instead of letting things get settled.

Banned for completely breaking the respect rules around here. Shape up or you're going on post preview again.

Shedinja. You empty shell, you.

You mean how the battle network series was the best megaman series? I didn't get the battle chip challenge one because it looked like a terrible spinoff.

Nah, Laura Croft suit sammus. Birthday suit sammus is just wishful thinking.

The high ready. Most of those cops are doing it wrong. Pictures aren't good enough to tell if fingers are in the trigger wells or not. Also, I enjoyed this. And the payday advance loan stuff that he covers in the second half of the video. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2014/08/18/video-john-olivers-scathing-take-on-ferguson/
