The annual “straight pride” gathering in Modesto, California turned violent for the second year in a row, and instead of arresting the Proud Boys who started the fray, police shot into the crowd of protestors with pepper balls and beanbags.

The event was held outside of a Planned Parenthood clinic and the group of far-right militia members and hate preachers was vastly outnumbered by counter protestors. This is the fourth time the group has held the event; the group uses the opportunity to hurl racist and anti-LGBTQ slurs at passersby and protestors while soaking up the local media and police attention.

Two counter protestors were arrested by the end of the scuffle. One Proud Boy was arrested. All three were charged with “failure to disperse.”

1. Perhaps the police doing the shooting were also members of Proud Boys.

2. Yeah, well could be. Somethings they go hand and hand. n/t

3. if i were a police chief, i'd send my suspect officers on just this detail.

then go over their bodycam footage, and make a nice lil montage to show at their disciplinary hearing, but that's what kind of sneaky witch i am.

4. I like the way you think.

5. i'm quite devious when i want to be.

and like i just said in another thread-
nerds have been dealing w the biffs of the world all our lives.
those of us who still come out of our shells in public do so because you cant scare us any more.

8. somehow I don't think you will make police chief

Which would be a good thing for you

9. tru dat.

what hell that would be.

tho i will say this- i had a few run ins w the po po in 2020. i complained about them to my young, ineffective alderperson. the cops were scared to get out of their cars that summer.
me- if i were the commander of this precinct, i would line up the cadets, and have an old lady like me give them an inspection. any one who flinched should be rejected as a coward.
it's salient in my hood. there'a a lot of us old witches around here.
