Still waiting on the water cannon to be broking out

At the initial riots there was a news reporter who was critisizing the police's show of force who literally said 'well, couldn't the police use water cannons instead of rubber bullets?'

"Broken" instead of "broking"......

For those who were around for the OWS thread you know what I mean

I'm not sure the water cannon remains viable at below freezing temperatures, J.

Oh,it very much remains viable. Keep the water tank at about 35-40 degrees with a simple tank heater and have at it. REALLY sucks to be on the receiving end though.

Can't a firefighter hose rip off skin?

Im sure it depends on the type of hose.

But im sure it might be a health hazard if they did that to them during the cold.

Down town LA was intresting 2 days ago. Accidentally ran into a protest block on the way to a bar. 90% of them where white students.

90% white students, 100% brain dead. I suppose if someone died because they prevented ambulances from getting someone to a hospital, firetrucks from getting to a fire, or police couldn't respond to a situation, they'd blame that on Wilson.

This guy's way of expressing himself reminds me of a poster from a couple of years ago that got banned. He was a hard talking keyboard warrior, also, that used the same terms. I posit that this one won't be around long, either.

The dude is a terrible cop. He has a ten year career in law enforcement and all he has to show for it is one dead shoplifter and a burning city. He has earned his place in history. I wonder what he will do next in his career. I'm sure someone will hire him.

Oh, the outrage.

Im so sure you have the rest of his records, please share.
Dude, you are making me look like a reasonable and upstanding member of dakka.

I don't think there is anything else in his record that is gonna compare to this. I think this one takes the cake as a career highlight.

You think, but dont know?

Dude, what else can he possibly do? Your talking about making history here.

Save an orphanage, be wounded in the line of duty?
Win a hot dog eating contest?

All those are epic things, but less likely to land you a place in most history books.

What if he was visiting his wife for christmas at her office when it gets taken over by theives pretending to be terrorists, escapes, steals a machinegun, and takes out all the theives and throws their ringleader off the roof?

Keep living in a pretend world where this guy is a hero if that's what works for you.

We arent, but you can live in a world where this man is DEY WORST

Which in turn makes me...more...angry.

Mask is fine. For the love of god, don't wear a hoodie though.

The lack of insight contained within your posts is matched only by the corresponding lack of facts. If you would like to be taken seriously, the onus is on you.

I think i have a picture for what's going on here.




Like a lot of big media coverage events, I haven't seen enough specific information to get an opinion. Yes, the guy was in the wrong, but we don't know the whole story like did these guys have prior encounters? What sort of provocation may have taken place behind the scenes? Either way, its the straw that broke the camels back. Things will get worse before they get better.

Commuters are pissed at these brain deads stopping traffic. Seriously, how stupid and selfish do these people have to be to be putting others at risk?

Way to go on calling people trolls. Both clever and grownup of you. The internet needs more people just exactly like you. But wait, you say, "...the guy was in the wrong."

If by "guy" you mean "the guy trying to grab the police officer's gun and then charging him" then yes.

Yes, sorry, that's what i meant. I forgot the names of the people involved and resorted to 'guy', which in hindsight probably made things a little confusing when i started including both 'guys' in my response. On the face of it he was completely out of line and the officer's response seemed justifiable and appropriate. Unfortunate, but thats the line of work the police have to deal with. Meanwhile the political backlash is going to be brutal, but as i said the straw that broke the camel's back.

That's two pictures.
