military assaults on demonstrators vs. New Orleans evacuation efforts

[wli]

How do the troop counts compare?

I highly suspect Bushler's Reich has dedicated at least ten times the number of troops to military assaults on demonstrators as he has to evacuation and rescue efforts to New Orleans.

Does anyone have hard numbers? It would be very interesting to compare.

1. "military assaults on demonstrators vs. New Orleans evacuation efforts"

GOOD question i was thinking the same thing!!

Ill tell ya its not going to shock me when the reports do start rolling in because you know it has or will happen.

2. well, I was looking for numbers, e.g. cops in WTO assault vs. cops in NOLA

I guess I may be stretching the term "military assault" to refer to assaults carried out by militarized police forces.

3. "military assault"

Even if you streched it a little i got the point.

You know the part that scared me the most was seeing the military/gaurd doing the escorting. i know this is a MAJOR incident,However i had horrible visions of grooming for MARTIAL LAW.

Looked like a pretty heavy military presence at the Rave in Utah...

Peace.

4. Didn't they use riot gear?

Peace.

5. yes, but they had more body armor etc. than our troops in Iraq

And more ammunition, too. So I feel perfectly safe in calling it a "militarized police force."

6. No kidding!! I can't believe how crappy our military is being treated

by these rat bastards. It makes me sick!

Peace.
