- arrest them for what, exactly? -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 08:27 18

      - depends, do the carriers have their pants pulled up? -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 08:41
      - I think a group of black men as organized as the Oath Keepers would have been treated the same way. - Jim Aug 11, 08:40 1
        
        And that this kind of shit is their MO - they dot their 'i's and cross their 't's. They're not going to break any laws... - Jim Aug 11, 08:41

    - it is shocking that someone carrying a gun legally has not actually shot and killed someone. - groiny Aug 11, 08:34
  - J-walking -- nm - decline Aug 11, 08:28
- There were over 100 arrests yesterday in relation to the protests. -- nm - Jim Aug 11, 08:22 12
  - But not the people in the streets with assault rifles. (they also weren't shot on sight oddly enough) -- nm - ty97 Aug 11, 08:24 11
    - It should also be mentioned that, so far, none of the Oath Keepers have shot at the police. Or assaulted the police. Or thrown shit at the police. -- nm - Jim Aug 11, 08:47
    - And exactly who was "shot on sight? -- nm - Jim Aug 11, 08:26 9
      - Tamir Rice, a 12 year old with a toy gun in an open carry state. -- nm - ty97 Aug 11, 08:29 8

        can we just keep this to one bad cop at a time please? -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 08:31 5
        
        And this is exactly the point. This isn't a case by case analysis. The number of these cases is the point. And these are just people who get killed - pmb Aug 11, 08:42 4
        
        so the protesting in Fergueson is for the 12 year old who got killed? - groiny Aug 11, 08:45 3
        
        For the record protesting does not equal looting. Looters should be arrested and punished. -- nm - pmb Aug 11, 08:51 2
        
        I would bet 100 dollars that if you asked any one of those protestors in Fergueson - groiny Aug 11, 08:53 1
        
        I would easily take that bet. - pmb Aug 11, 08:57
