Show me what a police state looks like! (Graphic! Dial-up warning!) Updated with livestream link

122. Well, you have not addressed anything I said in my post.

We are talking about the actions of the police in every demonstration since this movement began. As most people have seen with their own eyes, because no protests have been more photographed or video-taped, (in anticipation of lies being told), that over 99% of the violence at every one of these protests was initiated by the cops.

The OP did not say we live in a police state. He said 'this is what a police state looks like'. Do you deny that?

Are 86 year old women, simply standing peacefully watching what is going on, a serious threat to an army of police armed with military style weapons? A person in a wheelchair? Pregnant women? Journalists? Elected officials?? All have been brutally attacked by the police. You are choosing to ignore the facts. There is video of all of it. Reams of video.

Now show me some small amount of video that even comes close to the evidence against the police, of where the violence has come from protesters. Remember there are hours and hours, days of video by now, and so little of it shows any violence from the protesters that it is barely worth mentioning, yet out of all that, YOU have focused only on that miniscule amount of reaction from a very, very few people.

Do you know what it looks like eg, to people overseas? Are you aware that we now have a reputation of being a 'police state' in many countries around the world? Unfair? Yes, but that is the fault of the police and the elected officials who gave them their orders, that is not the fault of the protesters.

If they do not want to be compared to police in oppressive countries, the solution is simple. Either stay away from the protests which seem to do fine UNTIL the police begin acting violently, or stop attacking peaceful protesters. It is a crime to do so. Problem solved.
