This is what is striking on this action
As a medic I got the honor to have a real riot happen. Yes, for real the police had rocks, not eggs, thrown at them. One of my rigs lost a window or two and needed a new paint job. If the cops used lethal force none would have blinked. They didn't. They used battons,shields helmets and a line walk. there were a few injured and a few helmets were sacrificed. On the other side there were a few people hurt, some arrests and on day break there was a need to clean up. It was, quite possibly, one of the scariests. Oh and the chief decided that tear gas was the last resort...
What happened last night was excessive force, what would have been acceptable in an actual riot.
It makes you wonder...it sure makes me wonder.
Alas what happened next though, I don't expect that either. It was a collective wtf happened here and working with community organizers. We could have saved us all that with a health clinic.
Wonders never cease.

1. This is getting to be a really long year.
1968 was like this.

2. Yup, so was 1848, the year of revolution.
Claiming to have manned the barricades now?

wiki: In the post-revolutionary decade after 1848, little had visibly changed, and most historians considered the revolutions a failure, given the seeming lack of permanent structural changes.

Yes, but nadin was actually there in 1848, driving an ambulance wagon. In fact, she was instrumental in the formation of the Red Cross.
