Sacramento protest, Mon June 23rd

Wow, nice blue tank. I wonder when that becomes the next Humvee civilian vehicle. I thought I had seen the biggest SUV ever when I visited Utah and saw something that dwarfed a Yukon, that had a truck front and SUV back and was about 25 ft. long

I thought tanks and the military were NOT allowed on city street , that it is going against the Constitution. (Something I remember for grade school.) Anyone with any info on this subject?

They're not military, they're militarized police, AKA SWAT teams, special police tactical units, et. al. As such, they technically are not the military -- but as anybody who has come face to face with them knows, they look, smell, taste, sting, break, and kill just like the military. Isn't bureaucracy wonderful?

For more information, check out the film "Urban Warrior".

What's the story with the green shotguns? They have those here in seattle too ....

The shotguns are green to express their solidarity with the protestors.

ask the expert....

as our liaison to the law enforcement community you should of course know the answer to this. with your experience this is a simple question. why are the shotguns green?

In reference to donut boy who was so kind to pass out donuts to the officers... Fuck mouth should have known that he was adding to the profits of a large corporation (Krispy Kreme) that is regularly buying up buildings and pushing out small businesses all in the name of capitalism. But, when you come up with such original ideas (donut + cop= funny), oh wait that one is older than Strom Thurmond, I suppose you can just disregard and go about it. What a fucko. Does anyone agree with me here?

the green shotguns are used for bean bags, rubber bullets or other "less-than-lethal" ammo. they are green so the cops know they dont have live ammo. The scary paart is the, apparently, live ammo ar15s the cops on top of thhe armored cars had. what the fuck do they need those for?

i really doubt that those donuts were bought. they were probably donated or dumpstered.

the dognuts were dumpstered. i only attempted to give them to police, and even denied giving them to protesters at the rally. they were given to the black bloc hoping they would do something useful with them, but i guess they ended up eating them. have fun.
fucko
