(18,181 posts)the Secret Service are showing great restraint, but you really don't want to fuck with the Secret Service, and their restraint will only go so far if the protesters attempt to go past them.
So far, a couple of officers have been injured but the Service is being very reserved.

(18,181 posts)The Secret Service are by far the most professional police force in America, too bad police forces across the country can't/won't model themselves after the Secret Service.

Sooner or later, Donald. The people are going to come for you and it won't end up well. I have fantasies of him going out like Ceausescu or Mussolini. I want to see the look of abject terror on his face when he finally realizes that there are no more passes. When the jig is finally up for him.

(3,472 posts)The Secret Service would collectively stand down. And let today's modern Mussolini get what he deserves. Brutal, yes but, deserved nonetheless.

(68,471 posts)LBJ didn't ENJOY watching the protests. LBJ didn't excoriate protesters nor delight in their injury and death he caused.
I remember all that well. I was a young mother in my late 20s, early 30s. I was fearful for my little son. So I marched.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
