Yes apparently the day before there was a massacre of protesters, just like then. :roll:
The comparison is do goodery and insulting to people who were actually killed in TS.

I think it's funny you are trying to speak for the offended people who died at TS, as if they would have an opinion on this photo. You sound really pompous to me. You're also using a diversion tactic. The discussion at had should be America's racial issues. As you wrote out that post, did you consider the people who died on American soil protesting and died for the Civil Rights Movement? Do you equally speak for their offendedness?

This isn't comparable to the Civil Rights movement, you know when that majority of Black people were being denied their civil rights.
It's a lame ass false equivocation.

You need an attitude adjustment.

First, protecting and serving the public sometimes entails getting a lady out of the middle of the street when her sole purpose is to obstruct 300 cars needing to get through. They don't dominate the streets by force nor do they enforce an authoritarian state. THEY ENFORCE THE LAWS THAT YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES PUT ON THE BOOKS.

If they wear protective gear for their protection in case things get physical, I have no problem with that.

If you object because you think it might escalate a demonstration by setting expectations of violence? I don't disagree. I simply think that, at this particular time, when there are obstructive demonstrations going on all over the country, they should err on the side of personal protection.

If, on the other hand, you're too chicken to share the street with a professional doing his job because he reminds you of Darth Vader, you need to grow up.

I really don't think they arrested her for her own protection.

I saw you mention "law and order" and the other poster did mention MLK. MLK was known for promoting civil disobedience, as the other poster illustrated. You statement brought to mind a MLK quote.

He wrote this while sitting in the Birmingham jail:

"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

The woman photographed didn't stir the pot any more than MLK ever did. She got arrested, and she was willing to get arrested. I guarantee she knew she was going to be arrested.

I am not making a equivocation. I am pointing out your selective outrage when speaking for people who died protesting. But more importantly, I am dismissing your belief that you think you can speak for people who died protesting anything, anywhere, and can speak of their outrage from the grave. It's as meaningful as the Jesus was a capitalist/communist/democrat/republican, etc. debate.

I have a problem with people comparing this situation with TS.
It's not remotely comparable, it's not the same thing, that girl was in no real danger.

The only comparison is that a person, is standing in front of the authorities.
I made no claim of speaking for dead protesters.
 
I bet these cops arrested these peaceful protesters "for their own safety"



On another note: Why arent the cops in this video I posted above in federal prison for abusing authority and severe and systemic, planned coercion? These cops that went along with these faked arrests should be in jail for at least 50 years for abusing their position of authority the way they did.


Not saying Summer Dress lady is a victim of provocateurs though.

Of course she knew. It was orchestrated. The only reason I'm in this read is that people criticized the cops for doing their jobs.

I don't THINK I ever said she was arrested for her own protection. If so, I may have been loaded. Lolol. She was arrested because she was breaking the law. Cops don't arrest people for their own protection.

Rifles Drawn.


Not to accuse this author of having not the slightest damn clue what she's talking about or anything, but how, exactly, does one "draw" a rifle?

With a pencil.

Got to admit the optics are terrible!

You're missing the part about "proportional response" - she's clearly passive & unarmed! :doh

Should read racist cops. Arrest just because the dress is black? That is horrible.
