No. I was a Portage County Deputy in the 80s and trained by Deputies that were there that day. All of them thought it was a needless tragedy. None of them, based upon what they personally experienced would have fired into the crowd or anywhere else that day. |

Quoted: (Rant) They are still acting in disobedience to the authorities......Sorry but if an officer tells you to move somewhere else.....and you do not comply, especially in a large group, where some are acting out...your gonna get hurt....it is non-lethal, it hurts like a mother (I have been hit with rubber bullets/ batons from a 37mm)...but it will not hurt her in the long run, if anything she learned a valuable lesson, if she is still participating in the demonstrations, perhaps she needs another one across her backside for old times sake. These reports need to stop saying, "Got shot"...It was rubber, not lead. I can see having to tell them once, maybe twice, but on the third time, it is open season for the police. I wish they would target the posers that are attempting to use the military uniform to discredit the government. You show up to an "Occupy" event in uniform, it should be open season as well. (end of rant) I know I am harsh, but I have deserved my right to be harsh to communists -PC- edit- spelling During the RNC in Saint Paul I think they told the protesters about 50 times before they got the flash bangs and teargas and they still complained |

Quoted:
As I remember it she was one of the ones blocking access to supply ships for our troops. Fuck her she diserved what she got. Non violent protesters do NOT deserve to be shot for exercising a constitutional right. However, blocking a GI supply convoy is not part of a non violent protest. It is out and out treason and aiding and comforting the enemy. If the troops cleared the way with M-60s I would have NO problem |

When you are protesting something and you have been at it for awhile (days, weeks, etc), and the Cops show up in riot gear and tell you to go home. You should go home. It won't hurt as much as the alternative.

Whether or not it actually happened, it's been well established that Kent State (and anti-war protestors in general) were not nonviolent in the least. |

Non of the OWS shitstains are non-violent. They are hyper violent hypocrites. They are petitioning for more force to be used to render more money from producers so it can be given to them.
They are violent and delusional. |

What is your definition of violence/non-violent?
You should not use violence against us, so we can with less effort and without having to use or risk violence ourselves take what we want from you. |

If I recall the incident related to that picutre was a leftist protest/blocade of the port of Oakland for some inane reason or another. The mob was non-violently depriving folks of their livlihoods by occupying a public road and the local constabulary dispersed them with rubber bullets. The police were supposed to aim below the waist but of course if your fellows knock you down while fleeing the rubber bullets, the below the waist precaution might not be 100% effective.

I mostly agree. The instant a "demonstration" becomes a "riot", however (or the instant a single rock/bottle/whatever gets thrown), it's on like donkeykong and if you're caught in the middle it just plain sucks to be you (and it's your own damned fault). Sums up my feelings. Stay within the First Amendment and you can march about and chant slogans til your feet give out and your voice becomes hoarse. That's the American way. Throw a rock or brick at the po-po and the po-po will defend themselves. That's also the American way. |

Explain to me why crowd control couldn't be limited to flash bangs and tear gas? So getting gassed and flashbanged is somehow better than getting hit by a non-lethal projectile.

It's bad to get hit be a rubber bullet, but chemical irritants are ok. Clearly the police do advance on non-violent crowds. Crowds that have been non-compliant when told to leave the area, get out of the street, stop setting stuff on fire, etc. Ask people to comply with the law. Tell people to comply with the law. Make people comply with the law. At any point that progression can be stopped by obeying the law. Chris Rock did a video on it, perhaps you should watch it. |

Once they disrupt law and order........something has to be done.
They are warned........told to move on..........they don't listen and get moved out by force. I don't see any other way to restore law and order. |

My response to that picture has been this:
I agree, however protesters who charge a riot line and throw rocks do deserve an escalation of force. It's all about context, and this picture lacks any. Having seen what real bullets do, I think the above photo does illustrate a safe deterrent compared to the alternative. |

I've scrubbed that video at least a dozen times. He wasn't shot. He was hit by something that exploded out of something else about 6 feet away.

Quoted: Looks like maybe she took an FN303 round or two or maybe rubber slugs to the jaw? Regardless of what the scenario was that led up to that, a head shot is always a no no with any less-leathal deployment, someone messed up on that one pretty bad. I took a rond from an FN303 to the head with a level IIIA balistic helmet on and it still rang my bell, I can only imagine how bad that hurt. We were using training rounds and the rounds we received from FN were apperebtly recalled for terrible accuracy issues. We didn't find that out until after I took the one to the helmet (which was aimed at my back, center mass). The known fatal shooting with an FN was in Boston durring a riot, where a male was shot in the eye while on the run behind the actual target. It was a straight up accident, but as we all know, accidents with weapons of any kind are never acceptable regardless of the scenario. Y you contradict yourself? |

I know you weren't but crowd control munitions, even under ideal conditions are less then lethal, not non-lethal. The correct term is "less lethal". Meaining they aren't designed to be lethal, but can inflict lethal wounds under some circumstances. Less than lethal is no longer the current buzz phrase. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––- When I said "non-lethal", I was kinda refering to the woman that had the big welt/bruise/swelling. Since she had been hit, and survived, that was a non-lethal round. |
