In reply to the discussion: Police Chief Calls Out Armed Protest Threat In Washington DC [View all]rightsideout
(978 posts)29. They can bring their guns
But it looks like they have to leave them on the bus. LOL.
DC cops are mean. The three times I've been pulled over and the times I've had to deal with them when I organized events in DC, they weren't friendly to deal with.
I can't imagine what they'll be like dealing with derp heads with guns slung across their backs.

So, an overt police response to a protest is okay if you don't like the point of the protest?

No, bringing guns to DC is illegal and these idiot nuts want to flex muscle

It's okay to arrest anyone engaging in civil disobedience. That's kind of the point of it.

Please start shit with the police. The police will show you teabaggers how to shoot.

Although that character on the right actually turned out to be pretty bad-ass.

The baggers are brats presuming on the maturity of others to pretend to be tough.

It won't work, though. I've been to D.C. You can't distract those police with pastry. Just sayin'

That was supposed to be 'can't' not 'can.' I was there for a demonstation against Nixon's bombing

I think this article sums up what they are all about really well... and inadvertantly so

That is sad. Bet he keeps himself jacked up with paranoia inducing media all day and night.

They don't have the guts. The march will never happen. If it does, nobody will be armed.
