Oh, and firehoses, right?

And nightsticks and dogs.

They need to make sure they shove backwards 75-year-olds just standing there and kick people sitting on the ground.

Just stand out there with their bullhorns, ranting and raving, dicks in their hands.

The wingnuts there know it will look real bad for them to get in a rumble with the PoPo.

Maricopa County Sheriffs USUALLY only bust heads of Brown people, but they won't hesitate if any of their own are messed with, even by white people.

My overall take is ... they won't f*** with the cops. And there's a bunch more there than what you see in this pic. You could see them on MSNBC earlier tonight.

It’s also unnecessary. But you know, at least it’s the right kind of scary. Standing up to these people is the only way to shut them down. I hope it is peaceful but otherwise, brother KKK will have to arrest brother Nazi or face losing their job and it’s a tough economy out there, Covid and all.

Trump called in unidentified "law enforcement" types in Portland. It is only fair to bring in reinforcement for handling these people as well.

Imagine the reaction if this crowd was black.
