Watch video of police firing rubber bullets at peaceful protesters and laughing about it afterwards and calling it a victory. Is this America now?

Well judging from your answers, you people have lost your American values. It's amazing that you don't care. Well it will be your own destruction.

It looked to me like the cops were trying to incite a riot. They were out of line and the cop who made the remarks should have been suspended pending further investigation into his fitness as a officer. Suspended without pay. I think these cops should be forced to take sensitivity training courses or lose their jobs. It is a disgrace when the ones we look to for protection are the ones we have to fear.

I love the fact tht video cameras are there to "prove a point". Were they told to leave? Did she / they leave? Is there more video? You now the police often use video now in those cases for liablility.
As far as laughing, how shold they be? the public hates the "joe Friday" approach and get accused of being robocops. Or are they supposed to run a scone and a latte out to her and ask her if she feels o.k. about how everything happened? If I was there I would have laughed at her and the idiot anarchists baiting law enforement and tryingto capture it on video. The world Wokers Party strkes again! LOL

I think some police takes things a little too far and should be punished for going to extreme on people. Sometimes they do more harm to a person than a person does to someone else. I do think when police do things like this, they should be investigated and seek counseling for anger management. Just cause they have a badge doesn't mean they can take matters into their own hands. We have enough death and destruction in this world we don't need any more to add to it.

I don't know specifically about America but in a democratic country, politicians need fund to fight elections and this fund has to come from corruption and police is a instrument of government to get corrupt money, so there is an auction for the postings at lucrative location and the policeman who pays money to get posting gives lot of time to get maximum return on his investments so the conduct of police becomes like this lot of power with lot of corrupt money and all politicians bought and daily facing and seeing corrupt politicians, mafias and judiciary doing all wrong things what you can expect from police?

They are doing their job
under authority of the law of the USA by being criminals that
support a criminal gov't corrupted by the mafia and money
to protect us from the poor element criminal trying to get a meal to eat.
Now is that justice?
My opinion we pay taxes to the Mafioso gov't or New Babylon to protect us
then they will end up unhappy until every person in America is behing bars for their "own protection, we're just looking out for your best interest"
This is why God said you do not need a king to rule over you.

since human nature is unpredictable, and that pertains to all of us, to judge
the conduct of the police force is not an easy thing to do, their job is for one a
tough one. they put theirs lives on the line on a constant daily basis and that
in it's self is tremendous amount of pressure. in our society there will always
be righteous and non righteous character in humans, you just have to take
the good with the bad. for myself, if we did'nt have these brave man on the
streets, we would surely have anarchy in our society!!! i still support and
believe in these men, reguardless of the bad few!!!! they are needed!!!!
