Of course they prepare for a riot. When else are they going to get to use their tear gas on people standing around.....or shoot reporters with rubber bullets?

Total mischaracterization of our nation's police force.

Probably on average, depending on where in the country you are. But those were things that absolutely happened over the past few days in LA.

This has been a long time coming. Iran has conducted a proxy war against Israel for too long and now Israel is responding. This might be why Israel doesn't seem to motivated to end the conflict Gaza, since that would just allow Iranian backed terrorist a chance to rebuild, stage terrorist attacks, spy on Israel, etc. When I was in the Marines, I always felt the Israeli military was the only military on par with the US.

I completely understand Israel's reasonings and actions...but it will snowball unfortunately

People weren't met with force for just standing around. They were refusing police orders and not dispersing and the police responded with the lowest level of violence they could to get compliance.

Yeah, but I think after the Abraham accords, Iran will find themselves without allies in the region. Iran's policy of spreading extreme Islam and terrorism has affected all it's neighbors negatively. Ironically, Europe seems to be embracing extreme Islam, so maybe they'll side with Iran.

Wouldn't be a shock if a few Arab nations join in as well...regardless of the Abraham accords

There have been videos of police randomly deploying tear gas. Shooting people with rubber bullets for just being there. Also....do you know how many millions of dollars the LAPD pays out in lawsuits every year? It's not a small amount. Police work tends to attract a certain type of power hungry chud.

We got people way too wrapped up in team politics to see what's happening in the world...politicians included

The puppet masters got the sheep fighting in colosseum

What did I miss..... I felt a disturbance in the force while I was at work... Did Rob reference me in some idiotic way claiming I am for or against something?

I'm sure the will, but Russia has a little problem on its hands. I'm sure China will be happy to sell arms to Iran.

That isn't the whole clip. They police had been marching them out of the area and firing rubber bullets into the crowd to keep them moving. She's standing in the road blocking oncoming traffic. Considering vehicles are targets for the rioters, it's important to keep traffic moving.

And of course the idiots in Denver tried to block the highway again. And guess what the reporter who wanted to be on the front lines got hit with pellets. Let's not pretend the cops are just opening up on people for "just being there." You can see the people that are actually just hanging out are left alone by the police.

I think they're sick of it. Iran's spreading of radical Islam has phucked everybody in the region.
