17. These guys were treated with kid gloves even when there weren't children present.

Here's one of them who was arrested for DUI:

This guy is drunk, belligerent, armed and he threatened to kill the officers multiple times, yet they took no aggressive action towards him.

Don't get me wrong. I think that this is a proper example of professional police work. I'd just like to see everybody get the same treatment from law enforcement that these right wing lunatics got.

If they had arrested these guys after the nonsense at the Bundy ranch died down, they never would have felt emboldened to occupy a government building.
