When Police Aren't Busy Protecting Citizens

Kitsune · 08-11-2006, 11:54 AM

...they're busy shooting them. With rubber bullets.

And then they laugh about it, later.

Quote:

Officer off-camera: Who was the lady behind the sign?
Commanding Officer: Pardon?
Commanding Officer: The good news is, the good news...
Officer off-camera: Do we have intel on her?
Commanding Officer: The good news about being able to watch you guys live on TV is that lady with the red dress...
Commanding Officer: I don't know who got her, when it went through the sign and hit her smack dab in the head
Officer off-camera: Do I get a piece of her red dress?

So, a lady with a sign that says "Fear Totalitarianism" is shot with a rubber bullet while conducting a peaceful protest (I checked the Constitution, you're allowed to do this, at least, for a little while longer), the perps - I mean, law officers - laugh about it, and yet we aren't supposed to be worried about suppression of our rights. I guess she was nailed in order to protect us from terrorists, huh?

More unAmerican hate speech.

Sorry, I thought it was obvious that I was being sarcastic. But you can never be sure.

maybe a link to ColbertNation in your sig would suffice?

Kitsune · 08-11-2006, 01:10 PM

Maybe she proved too much a target in that red dress.

Thirty years from now, will kids be saying,
"Didn't you realize what was happening?"

Why not? That's what they said thirty years ago.

Yep...and then Nixon was impeached and a bunch of his co-conspirators prosecuted.

Wonder when that will happen again? I mean for something other than lying about blow jobs.

When something comparable happens, most likely. As opposed to the currently stylish faux nostalgia of the hippie-wannabee GenX-spawn.

Apparently it's not just the generals who are always perfectly prepared to fight the last war... :-)

If only there was a smoking gun and a Deep Throat for the whole WMD scam. Where are Woodward and Bernstein when you need 'em?
