Robocops Employ Scary Crowd-Stopping Technology at Pittsburgh Protests

No longer the stuff of disturbing futuristic fantasies, an arsenal of "crowd control munitions," including one that reportedly made its debut in the U.S., was deployed with a massive, overpowering police presence in Pittsburgh during last week's G-20 protests.
Nearly 200 arrests were made and civil liberties groups charged the many thousands of police (most transported on Port Authority buses displaying "PITTSBURGH WELCOMES THE WORLD"), from as far away as Arizona and Florida with overreactingand they had plenty of weaponry with which to do it.
blah, blah, blah lunatic ramblings.

5. Every one of those cops/soldiers has a real life. Information is more powerful than these weapons.
The only reason these cops/soldiers can "bravely" deploy these weapons against US citizens is anonymity. Strip that away and they won't be so brave.
We have technology too. Take pictures. Use the internet. Put names to faces.
As I understand it these people are not protected in their official capacity when they knowingly and deliberately violate the civil rights of US citizens. Am I wrong? Sue them into compliance, and along the way plaster their faces and names on internet bulletin boards.
I guess any time a cop is killed or injured , we can blame you for inciting violence against them, right?

Ya know what I can't understand? When the next Civil War happens, the DUmb****s fully expect the police to be on their side.
Not a chance, lurkers!

Without even looking I knew any anti-police thread had to have that joanne98 crack head in it. She is to blame for her stupid son not the police. She needs to get that into her thick thick skull.

Because that's how they expect it to play out in their V For Vendetta/Animal Farm fantasy world.
