push back

An example of students standing their ground

Everyone has seen the bonk video, but it's worth watching the full thing to see how Cal Poly kids pushed out riot cops. Look at the brave people in the front, faces literally pressed against shields! Look at how everyone's holding onto each other so no one can get grabbed away!

bonking the cop with an empty water bottle is classic!

@QMS
with that, though- you never know what's going to make a bunch of heavily armed, helmeted, shielded, flak-jacketed, paramilitary cop/occupying-army-stormtroopers "fear for their lives"...

@QMS

I admire their passion, and I hope that they stay safe and keep it going peacefully and calmly. I can feel this building up to another Kent State, though, and there are clearly enough agents provocateurs floating around out there to push that to happen.

I remember the protests where pallets of bricks mysteriously materialized in several locations around the State House and City Park in Denver the night before (not near any construction sites, of course), and equally mysteriously disappeared immediately afterwards.

Keep the faith, watch your six, and be safe out there!

Of Zionist supporter holding an Israeli flag yelling "Kill the jews" to provoke the riot police to act.
It worked.
It was what the cops were waiting for.

The first few seconds, the lead riot-cop and his awkward grin!?

Interesting; almost makes me feel sorry for him.

And no, I had NOT seen "the bonk video" until this just now.
You know, it occurs to me the plastics industry is also under fire right now; if they know what's good for them, they WILL "lean into" the gift they've inadvertently received here....
