LAPD shot a protester in the head with rubber bullets and refused to call an ambulance for her as she lay there bleeding and concussed; another protester was trampled and concussed by mounted police; countless other protestors were beat over the head savagely with batons... and this is only what was on video.

NYpd and lapd are probably the most corrupt out there. LAPD has actual gang affiliations, some with white supremcesists.

Rage against the machine lyrics are factually based.

Lots of police departments started as slaver patrols, Union busters, and right wing militia.

Portland's police, for example, were originally a KKK militia.

Great time to also mention that Oregon was founded as a white supremacist state.

California should pass a ballot initiative making it legal for any random person to shoot police with less lethal munitions whenever they want. You should just be able to walk up to any cop, any time you want, and shoot them with a rubber bullet. If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander.

It's one thing to constantly talk about standing up to tyranny and defending your precious freedoms, owning guns especially for that long awaited moment when they can be revolutionary heroes.
Looks like Americans talk the talk but don't walk the walk.

The Americans who spout off about things like standing up to tyranny and how much they love having guns are not the same people participating in this protest. The government is actively supporting those people.

The protesters are the ones expecting the rule of law to eventually win, but also know how important it is to protest so that the rule of law continues to exist. It may not be as violent as you’re expecting, but it seems to me that they are walking the walk.

We haven’t done this in a while and we're a little rusty, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t fighting.

And this is part of the problem. Maybe we should be the people bitching about tyranny and loving guns.

Slow down there baud. With talk like that someone might mistake you for some kind of anarchist!

same protester that got trampled and concussed was the one shot in the head.
