If you forget that you are public servants, and you ignore our Constitutional rights, then you have no authority under that same Constitution.
If you hit one of us, then we are going to hit back, and we outnumber you 50-1. If you let the dogs loose on us, then we will kill the dogs, and the officer that looses them, as this is a lethal action with the intent of bodily harm.
If you gas us, or shoot us with "less lethal" weapons, then we will defend ourselves with as much force as necessary. We are exercising our rights as citizens, you are public servants with the express purpose of protecting citizens and upholding our rights. Police authority is written on the back of the social contract that enshrines our rights. You can't rip up one without ripping up the other.
See you motheruckers on the street.
PS. Every protestor there ought to show up with an open carry, preferably a longarm.
Once the NG/Marines get involved, America is completely fucked. The protestors may still outnumber the LEO's but they have the weapons, training, and experience that evens the playing field.
For about 30 seconds till they shoot you first for breaking local statutes.
They don't have to think about their actions, theirs are protected. You have to think about yours. Without outnumbering them 10 to 1, then you're just throwing away both those rights, and your life. Best case you end up a felon with no 2nd amendment rights. Worst case you end up dead.
I can appreciate and agree with this to some extent, but the entire point of this is to provoke exactly that reaction so that they can justify the horrors they want to carry out.
I can't think of a counter except to be willing to be the first side shot. then clear out, then the NEXT day return armed. Put that space in there, a clear timeline of how the violence started, who started it, something of record. THEN you come back.
