1. Any context for this?

masks? cancelled flights? People overwhelmed with the holiday spirits?

2. "People overwhelmed with the holiday spirits?" That is funny...

I was wondering the same, what is the context? Nowadays it is usually masks at airports.

3. Maybe just the usual Florida Manliness?

Sometimes people can be stupid for no reason at all.

Peace and Merry Christmas DU!

That dude was a cop so it is lucky someone didn't get shot.

5. WTF

why did this happen? Yellow journalism can post the altercation's violence and chaos, true journalism asks questions and tries to get to who, what, why...

But that is not the American journalistic creed anymore, salaciousness is...profit off the misery of people with drama and optics that appeals to the nature of most human beings

and on and on and on from the first murder of one human being by another. Compassion and empathy are sorely missing in the Republican extreme RW led by trump, miller bannon et al. They have brought out the true nature of their base of Americans willing to kill other Americans for their leader, trump.


and if the coup attempt of 1/6/21 had succeeded. The fascists in this country would have gone on to kill as many people as they could to strike fear in liberal/progressive hearts. Probably starting with our current Speaker since they were looking for her with nooses prominently displayed.

Their violence is a poison that has infected this nation of citizens in a democracy struggling to remain so because of attacks by the fascist elements IN OUR GOVERNMENT.

7. A lot of people filming the gun pointing cop guy; that says something. Bet they got his badge I.D.

8. Why would ANYONE hang around to capture video of this?

I'd be OUTSIDE in a flash, or fast-walking to another part of the airport to get the hell out of the way for whatever bullets may start flying and ricocheting. People are stupid.

[Justice matters.]

Upset due to delay... what happened to understanding, patience and civility???
