Our Militarized Society

Here's a collection of yesterday's images on Boing Boing.

Apparently there was a peaceful demonstration during the day, attended by religious leaders and covered by the media, and the police pulled out all their soldier gear to respond to that.

Sniper aiming at the unarmed peaceful crowd. Amazing.

And then the cops went on to arrest two journalists charging their equipment in a nearby McDonalds.

Later that night, after the cops escalated things at a peaceful protest by showing up in armored vehicles and pointing their guns at the unarmed crowd, the hooligans responded by throwing Molotov cocktails.
