And a quote from the article;
An Officer working a crowd would do well to remember the words of Dalton — the character from the movie “Road House” — who said, “Be nice until it’s time to not be nice.”
You think protesters fighting back with clubs would qualify as “it’s time to not be nice”? I do. Then it goes right back to the force continuum. Doesn’t it? Your confusing peaceful protest where people go home when asked with occupation protests and people that refuse to leave and fight the police. The later one, the one in Kiev, would end with level 6 deadly force applied,right here in the good ol’ USA.
No, we are not going to agree. The US, in many cities in the country, forcibly removed occupation protesters. Those parks were cleared. If protesters had picked up weapons and fought as did Kiev, many would have been shot. The parks would have been cleared.
I don’t know, a few. Are you saying it has never happened? Do you live in New York?
Do you have proof of fraud? I’m sure it’s possible but the inverse is also possible. Frankly, since the orange revolution was precisely about election fraud, same dude even, I would hope that they would have had those bugs worked out. Especially when he ran again. Unless you are claiming they did not learn from prior elections. Hell, there are those that claim Obama won by election fraud. Could be. Who knows, you?
How many of those protesters picked up clubs and fought the police off? Again, you are confusing peaceful protesters to club wielding, cop bashing protesters. The later we have not had in any of those situations you point out. It we had, they would be dead.
Yes, you have to pick up a weapon and protest in order to have a legitimate thought. If you believe that armed protesters would not be shot in the US, show me.
Posted weeks before any talk in the Ukraine for new elections. They are discussing who is going to be in and out. It’s a bit more than the “Fuck the EU” tape that MSM reported. They left out the part about who was going to be leader in their reporting.
And I can’t say what the $5 billion was spent on, because I don’t know, so maybe you could provide me with a line item expense sheet and prove to me it was not spent on bribes, election campaigns, or paying protesters. And yes, I’m shifting the burden of proof to you. Can you prove the money was not used illegally or are you just taking it on faith?
It is when there is no moral high ground to be had. Our own government is highly corrupt, makes up WMD stories to invade other countries, citizens spied on, protesters beaten and arrested, and any one in this country can be indefinatley detained with out accusation or trial(NDAA). 50 years ago, I may have agreed with you. Not so much now.
Percentage of population that believes their government is corrupt.
Ukraine 77%
US 73%
over 1 million people were killed in Rwanda. They got no help from the US. Why? They were not geopolitically significant.
Ah, yes. Seems I Rammed the two titles together. good catch.
Yep. There is no proof that I have seen. I didn’t say there was, only that Putin is not the only one to speak of it.
I suppose you have proof that it was the police and only the police and that it was ordered by the president? I didn’t think so…
Both conspiracy theories are just theories at this point.
