33. The Feds are on it like ducks on a June bug
Wed Apr 2, 2014, 01:04 AM
Apr 2014

They finally did one that was so over the top that maybe something can be done.

Why the hell they sent SWAT cops out there for a guy illegally camping is beyond me. Why some asshole lobbed a flash-bang grenade at a guy who had picked up his stuff and was coming down peacefully really, really needs to be looked at. The cop who started shooting has been fired.

The asshole with the grenade needs to be put into stocks outside the courthouse.

Boyd was not a nice guy, had a long rap sheet for violent stuff as well as a bunch of petty crap the homeless often get popped for. He didn't deserve any of this.

Militarized police are becoming a bigger threat to public safety than the criminals are.

There was a huge protest here that went on for a full 12 hours. People here have had it with Robo Cop.
