amazing to see how the cop thugs handle right-wing protests [View all]

first of all, only a small # of cops showed up, they were out-numbered.

compare that to us, when we have a protest, there are more cops than protesters, as they try to demonstrate how "dangerous" we are.

second, this guy threw himself at the cops, and all the cops did was try to restrain him. Hell, if we'd of done that, they'd have tasered us, tear-gassed us, lucky if we weren't killed.

it was kid-gloves all the way
