Military device used on Detroit protest against #WaterShutoffs
Source: Daily Kos

First,  :rotf:
Secondly that a BLUE city would use a military device against it's solidly blue citizens...  :rotf:
What kind of a device do you ask?

Quote
A LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device) was used to disperse a rally at Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit on Friday, July 18, 2014 at 2:43pm. There has been previous use of an LRAD in Detroit on May 1, 2012 when Occupy Detroit gathered on the public sidewalk outside Grand Circus Park after park closing hours of 10pm.

 :thatsright:

I can't help wondering if all of these inhumane actions are just ways of making people leave their homes, to get their property, sell it and miraculously resurrect Detroit? And the other 11 Michigan cities under the imposed Emergency Management Law?

eh... throw away comment.

6. "Less-than-lethal" weapons = greater excuse to use them. The flip-side of all of these military / police toys designed to control, rather than kill is ... they are designed to CONTROL.

And the DEm politicians can't wait to get their hands on them.

Would they be complaining if it was a Tea Party rally?  Me thinks not...

And... oh wait... no reason to break up a Tea Party rally since they are peaceful, respectful, and decent citizens.

The activists answer? Make Wall Street PAY A TAX.

Greedy libs. They have so much water in Detroit they're turning it off. They should be turning it on and sharing it with the granola state.

Knowing DUmbshits, they'd probably do it, too.  Thinking they were "beating the system" the whole time.  Which is why I'm expecting the news piece on the cholera epidemic in Detroit in 3... 2... 1... :-) :popcorn: :yahoo:

To the DUmbass who wants all of the fascists to leave I actually agree with that, considering who's running Detroit these days. In fact can we extend that request to remove other fascists like those running Detroit from the rest of the country?
