I remember SPD randomly teargassing pedestrians on Capitol Hill in November 2000. No one was fired and most are probably high-ranking department officials now.

@3: Funny. I remember protestors randomly throwing rocks, bottles, molotov cocktails, setting fires, tipping over cars, smashing windows, and other riot tasks with no consequences. A lot of this depravity was cheered on by Seattle City Council members and candidates and even one for Seattle City Attorney.

@6 What is your point?

Are you making an accusation of hypocrisy?

If those cops want to go wilding, they can resign from the force and go nuts. But in uniform we should expect some measure if restraint, don't you think?

@8 The protestors don't get a pass. They destroyed property, blocked streets and traffic, and some in the CHOP space committed murder. The only difference between them and the cops is that the cops did their crimes under color of authority. Both are guilty.

@8: "But in uniform we should expect some measure if restraint, don't you think?"

Of course, police are trained to do that. But are you forgetting where police come from? They're your neighbors from the same stock of civil service employees that keep our city running, and have the same flawed human conditions you and I have.

Their limits need not be tested just because the protesters are deeply passionate about what they're enraged about.

“All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.”

loving the fugitive siting at the wild card playoff.

watching the collection of old weirdos behind home plate was about the most interesting part of that snoozefest. my disinterest in MLB has been renewed.

SIGHTING. not citing, or siting.

@6 You weren't there.

I can't tell for sure, but this looks a lot like more video of Mpls Police:

Morons. Morons control Idaho. Morons overseeing morons.

I am sick of robot stories. I refuse to give any fucks about robots until someone makes one that can fold my fucking laundry. Dancing and skateboarding robots...meh. Chore robot, stfu and take my money.

I just can't say it anymore because it sounds too kind:
"Republicans are horrible people." They're not listening.
Griz now opts for the following:
"RepubliKKKans are useless MAGA-fucked up toxic waste that should be fired one-way into outer space, never to return to Earth."

@6 & @9: Which one of you got top bunk tonight?

WTF is wrong with Texas?! Now a day later, the fucking U.S. Court of Appeals just shot down U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman's ruling to block the cruel and unconstitutional Texas ban on abortions.
This is glaring further proof that Texas RepubliKKKans are useless MAGA-fucked up toxic waste that should be fired one-way into outer space, never to return to Earth.
