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.

That's our nadin. She has the finest medical training google can provide.

racist – A statement of surrender during an argument. When two people or disputants are engaged in an acrimonious debate, the side that first says “Racist!” has conceded defeat. Synonymous with saying “Resign” during a chess game, or “Uncle” during a schoolyard fight. Ori

What hath she done? :rotf:
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

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

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.
“Don’t vote for the person who tells you you deserve something. Just don’t do it if it’s something other than life, liberty, or the pursuit of possible happiness. If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe

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