ps
be careful of saying "West Bank" anywhere except on the Israel/palestine forum...

YOU too could get "juried".

Didn't think so...

Just like the assholes in Ferguson on tanks in military gear with sniper rifles or the idiot with the shotgun stalking the streets looking for an excuse to bully or fire on someone, anyone.

They should be required to answer for why they felt it was effective crowd control to incite retaliations. I'm sure it would be along the lines "well, THEY did it first...I was just afraid from my life."

THIS IS WHAT !!!!!!REALLY!!!!! HAPPENED TODAY IN BALTIMORE #1. the police created a "credible threat" about some high school students gathering at Mondawmin to start trouble. #2. the police showed up in force and riot gear before the students got out of school at Mondawmin, which is a major public transit hub, and SHUT DOWN THE TRANSIT, guaranteeing the kids couldn't leave. #3 the police started macing people and brandishing tasers. #4 the kids understandably responded to being stranded and maced by throwing rocks/bricks. #5 THE MEDIA I.E. CNN ‪#‎CNN‬ starts reporting it as "a riot and "violent protesters." ----> This is 100% bought and paid for by the police department. <---- This is absolutely vile". !!! do not be fooled to think that civilians instigated and started this sate of Chaos in#baltimore DO NOT LET THE MEDIA AND THE POLICE LIE TO YOU LIKE THEY ALWAYS DO TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK LIKE VICTIMS! THIS IS BEYOND A RACE SITUATION. — via Cop Block

So this doesn't surprise me at all.

I mentioned to my boyfriend the police are probably not entirely put out by the fact they have to bust some heads and make mass arrests. Pigs.
