May 23, 2012 - Riot Gear
I was helping my son find images for a poster about the Amendments in the Bill of Rights. He wanted an image of a riot and this is one of the images I came across . . .

The cops dress like military storm troopers to mace, taser, and club, peaceful, legal protesters and can't figure out why they get no respect.
Replacing respect for the police, with fear of the police, only leads to escalation of violence.

Amen, brother.
I knew there was something that needed to be said about that picture but I sure as hell didn't know what it was. That was it. |

True, but all it takes is that one knucklehead in the sea of peacefuls to throw a bottle and bloody an officer's head.

And in the case of a knucklehead, (or provocateur), the police have surveillance equipment that enables them to pick one person out of a crowd of thousands by his/her nose hair whorls. The whole mentality of serve and protect, has morphed to what's written on the helmet in the original post... two examples of that attitude: 1 ~ Remember the retired Philly cop that protested in NY while wearing his uniform? Well the FOP in Philly is trying to kick him out and take away his FOP benefits. 2 ~ A Denver cop convicted of driving 143mph on a 2 lane, no shoulder, 55mph road, at night, with a passenger, while drunk, gets 5 days in jail... and his job back.

Right, I'm sure they aren't trying to look scary. It's the the militarization of the American police. Quote:

Not long ago I witnessed a rogue cop being a complete dick, breaking eleventeen laws, and abusing the shit out of a innocent couple. All the while eight other cops stood around shaking their heads, rolling their eyes, face palming, and not doing a god damn thing about it.
