Leave the idiots alone until after New Year. Then sweep the streets.

Yeah, you're not a fascist or anything. I don't know WHY someone would think that.

That's probably a good idea to get in a practice run for the sweep that's coming the following year, Jan/13. That's when the real fun will begin with Obama's second term.

I think its cute that you think the cops are prepping for war. If that were the case you'd hear about "weapons among OWS" and "reports of armed resistance" and you sure wouldn't see bean bag guns instead of real ones.

I doubt it. The world's going to end on 12/21/12.

I think it's cute that you don't know anything about appropriate levels of hostile response.

Then why the body armor and IFVs?

Because being stabbed with a broken beer bottle can ruin a persons day. You'll notice both of those are defensive items, meant to ensure both that no cops die and that no OWS witchhunts start. Things could get really out of hand if people die, then you will have riots.

Oops, I forgot.

next time they show video of riot police doing sweep and clears of OWS encampments, pay close attention to the pistols strapped in thigh holsters on the cops, followed by the ones with rifles about 4 lines back.

Except kevlar doesn't protect from stabbings...

So what you'd like the police to shoot people? I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige, it's probably safer than trying to push people with what is really just a big piece of plastic.

I'd rather they get Ebola and then be quarantined at their station, but since I can't have that, I guess I'd have to settle for...ya know....a basic respect for individual rights.

It is truly disturbing to consider what conservatism has become: pro-police state, anti-4th amendment, anti-5th amendment, pro-military industrial complex, anti-middle class. Modern conservatism = neo-fascism.
