5. There's something really wrong

When you can't have a flag honoring a dead person's heritage at a funeral.

I don't see how you can justify use of excessive force over carrying a flag. That makes absolutely no sense to me. Please think about it.

When African-Americans peacefully protest about the death of someone who is killed at the hands of the police, and the response is "excessive force", someone needs to be sued.

If the dead person had had the Palestinian flag draped on the coffin, would that have been acceptable? Or another justification for "excessive force"?

This consistent making of excuses for Israeli police using excessive force against unarmed civilians makes me sick to my stomach. I don't see how it's justifiable in any way, shape or form.
