Fucking pigs shoot at unarmed, peaceful protesters with rubber bullets, then share a good laugh about it later.

Disgusting.

This brings up a story to mind a posted on this forum a while ago, about how when I went to an iraq war protest in 2005 in washington DC, we were told to bring young children so the police would not try to harm any of us in fear of hurting a child. well, the same thing happened, rubber bullets were used, and my younger (7 year old) sister was shot in the back and i told her to run to the car. everyone started running and i got shot twice in the back of the head and just dropped on the ground, to sort of make a statement. people were screamingly enraged at the barrage of bullets on their children but no one fought it in fear of there child's safety.

these police sicken me. if i were one of them, i would have taken my gun and started shooting other police with it.

Yes. If you are trying to make changes diplomatically, and the people you may be rightfully speaking out against start shooting weapons at you, unarmed....I think it is your duty to fight.

This is our country, our home. We have the right to change, and otherthrow the government when we feel necesary. If the systems designed to do so get corrupted, then yes it is sometimes necesary to use force to take what is ours.

I beleive it's illogical and irrational to shoot people trying to make positive change in the country you live in. I also believe its illogical and irrational to shoot a child, rubber bullets or not.

I would be one to think that it is irrational to bring children to a scene, expecting a violent confrontation, intending on using the children as a means to shield oneself from such confrontation. Such an act demonstrates that one is less concerned for the children's well-being than for one's own.

I recognize no difference between this and terrorists in the Middle East, who surround themselves with women and children as they perpetuate violence themselves. If you bring a child to a demonstration that is bound to get violent (one wouldn't bring them if they didn't expect that it would, based on the motivations that were described in a previous reply), it is you that is responsible for any harm the child receives, just as it is the responsibility of participants of war for civilian causalities if they purposely surround themselves with civilians, fully aware that they are engaged in war.

Having said that, it would be irrational to purposely shoot a child, rubber bullet or not... well, unless the child had the plauge, or was a zombie, or something. :lol:

Terrorists are there to kill innocent people. The protesters are there to protest and can only hope that they won't be attacked by your savage government.

first, there should always be a plan if police fire a gun...it should be in the flyers and therefor the police will know the first action of your group.

in this flyer it should be made clear your peaceful.
camera men should be EVERYWHERE.
signs should be EVERYWHERE.

its should be very clear you mean no harm and do no harm.

at the same time....you should have a statement that says hey you fire on us....we will fire back and ours won't be rubber.

and as a procausion have a hidden, unknown group of people with sniper rifles in a buildings everywhere.

Yeah right that will work. Then you'll have the military at the next protest. It would do the whole peaceful protest idea a disservice.
On a side note; military should never do police work otherwise you're close to martial law. And that's what the military is doing increasingly nowadays.

protesting should never be illegal unless it is a direct disruption of safety. not hypothetical doublespeak safety....

i.e. "free speech zones" is basically suppression of the free voice by removing any and all power of protest.

look at Martin Luther King and his massive marches, that shit probably wouldn't be legal now, but that stuff is the exact kind of stuff we need (peaceful mass marches making a jarrying wakeup call to daily life) in order for our voices to work.

if a system is corrupted you can't use the system to fix itself.

as demonstrated if "free speech" becomes unlawful then what you can you do but break laws that shouldn't exist in the first place? it's not like peaceful protest is in any way dangerous. perhaps massive congestion of people can at times pose risks to daily living though.

Remember the hundreds of thousands ILLEGAL immigrants marching in the streets? Not only did the police NOT arrest them, for actually breaking a law, they closed down major roads, and kept counter protesters at bay.

Dozens of law abiding white people are not allowed to protest it seems, but hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are almost encouraged.(and they carried Mexican flags!) This is outrageous.

that's a good point! the funny thing is i bet illegal immigrants would be more "dangerous" than the common pacified white man, too. not because of their illegal status, just because white Americans are so spoonfed by authority.......

(and maybe they were afraid of violent retalliation, whereas they know they can shoot a few white people with rubber bullets and the white people will just go "hey don't shoot us!")
