    When you're 75 you may not move that fast

    "I can hire one-half of the working class to kill the other half."--Jay Gould, American railroad tycoon

    ...but not even half, just a few good men. Police committing random battery upon persons, vandalism, blinding persons, stunning them, gassing, beating, and suffocating to death Americans at will with open government approval. Politicians are gleeful, and self righteous while enthusiastically planning an authoritarian future.

    That's pretty painful to watch. It clearly shows every single police officer stroll past the guy. Supposedly the national guard hadn't been called out, but it sure looks like there were a few there and that a couple of them were the only ones to check on the guy.

    There was no damn riot in progress. There was barely even a crowd.

    Sunset in Buffalo is around 8:50, so the curfew should have been set at 9 rather that 8.

    I'd be willing to bet this video begins no later than 8:10. Jackboots lookin to rumble with all the civilians violating the curfew.

    I don't know this guy was doing or what he was saying to the cops, the reaction did seem too much, but I don't think at this point the cops have a chance. They will be 2nd guessed and judged by a biased bunch of politicians for whatever they do. They should just all stand down and let the rioters have their way. That is what the democrats seem to want, so let them have it.

    "One-dimensional man does not know its true needs because its needs are not its own--they are administered, superimposed, and heteronomous; it is not able to resist domination, nor to act autonomously, for it identifies with public behavior and imitates and submits to the powers that be. Lacking the power of authentic self-activity, one-dimensional man submits to increasingly total domination."--One-Dimensional Man, Herbert Marcuse (1964)(pdf).

    This is the issue with the pandemic, economic depression, and violent institutional oppression. Americans are being arrest for "face crimes" for dissent cannot be allowed, or even the semblance of autonomy allowed to exist in total domination.

    I saw the video last night, and I thought "Well, bad things happen."

    He got in the cop's face, and the cop gently nudged him.

    He could have fallen like this getting out of the shower.

    The outrage pimps are anxious to feed the cop-hating frenzy, but this is a ginormous Nothing Burger.

    Gently nudged him.

    None of them should NOT have faced any negative consequences.

    As with their views on rape, Democrat values appear fungible.

    The called EMTs but the attitude of disdain on the one cop's face after it happened was obvious that they really didn't care.

    He moved pretty fast right after one cop pushed him.

    Why was a guy in his 70's at a demonstration? Did he think that this was an AARP rally?

    According to the BBC, the ENTIRE Buffalo riot squad quit in response to the suspensions.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52945190

    Probably a good career move for them. Who in their right mind would want that job? Even a minor shove can result in the end of your career.

    You guys know what the problem is with demonstrations? There are no OSHA safety rules.

    Demonstrators need to wear:
    Helmets
    Shoulder pads
    Knee pads
    Steel toed saftey shoes
    Welders gloves
    M95 masks
    LEXON face shield

    You do not approach a cop and start touching him. Especially as they were clearing an area.

    I think all police officers nationwide should self quarantine because of covid exposure for two weeks at least.
