It's astonishing how much hate conservatives spew about Communist regimes and yet they have so much in common with them.

A non authoritarian state would just let the vandals and looters run wild and do anything they want. This naturally puts the law abiding citizens under oppression. But it's not state oppression. In lib land this is somehow better.
I saw that.
His termination should be immediate and charges of assault filed.

So having a government issued badge gives you the right to indiscriminately threaten to kill people? Gotcha. One more so called small government conservative who loves the authoritarian police state. Remember, you said it's no big deal
I disagree. The man was surrounded by milling protesters walking all around him who refused to obey instructions and back off. The man is obviously fatigued, frightened and stressed out which is EXACTLY WHAT THE PROTESTERS ARE GOING FOR. Only they don't think the cop might fire, though the leaders of the protest know it is a huge possibility and they hope a cop does make that mistake so they can exploit the media attention it would get.
We are being manipulated by so many different parties in this Fergusun fiasco that it boggles the mind. From advertisement hawking corporations or the provocative ass hole journalists who are deliberately antagonizing the cops to get a money shot, to the racists in the Political Identity movement who merely hope to make more and more Americans lose faith in their government and political system.
We the public need to stay a step back and not base judgments on short video clips of people in situations that we do not fully know about yet.
Idiot much?
You trained in crowd and riot control?

Don't be ridiculous.Of course, they don't, but feel free to keep making false claims.
Are you?
Who was rioting in that video?
That is simply not true. A nonauthoritarian state can implement short term martial law until the situation is stabilized then remove it. Authoritarians do not ever end the state of emergency, kind of like our endless war against terror these days.
Unless he was under the threat of assault, which he was not, ....

Losing the argument huh?
Yeah, can't be emboldening people to exercise their Constitutional rights....or not allow riots and civil disobedience to go on for 10 days. It just emboldens them.
No, his commands for the to back off were because their walking all around him DID IN FACT CONSTITUTE a THREAT TO HIS LIFE.
Oh martial law, so we give soldiers not police officers the guns??
You really don't understand the concept of having two different forces do you??
Police were seen as a sensitive version of soldiers.......
Have you not followed the conversation about the border and rick perry??
Those conversations in particular where they talk about national guard troops not being trained to do law enforcement work??
Seems like soldiers take orders, they don't make many decisions.........
The police on the other hand have to asses the situation, make a determination if there has been a law violated and then, take appropriate action.......
Was that your position on the Cliven Bundy standoff?Better to intimidate than to allow an escalation resulting in an actual live fire.
Seems to have worked
What's the problem?
I haven't lost anything. Just making a realistic observation. This kind of behavior we are seeing from law enforcement is the kind of behavior we see in Communist and dictatorial regimes, not in first world republics, and certainly not something that should be happening in the "freest" nation in the world. Conservative claim to believe in small government and yet you have so much in common with those regimes.
