Video of police saying 'light them up' and shooting pellets at people on their porch

I hope these officers are get shit for this, and this doesn't become a thing. If it does, then I can easily foresee someone firing back at them, and that isn't something that would turn out well for anyone.

Oddly enough it's many of the same folks who wave the don't tread on me Gadsden flags while building up an armory full of rifles in order to protect themselves from tyranny.

off the .50-Cal machine gun mounted on top of their armored vehicle at a group of enemy combatants, not police walking through a middle class American neighborhood, "protecting and serving." Militarization of policing is at the root of why cops treat everyone like the enemy.

Cut out a rectangular piece of 3/4 inch plywood and put handles on the back of it.
You are fully within your rights to use it on your own property as a shield against this form of stupidity with paint balls.
