Two things. One, the guy stated he went up to the officers to ask them if they had forgotten their oath to the Constitution. If you dislike the word "lecture", although it is being used appropriately, then pick another word that you find more palatable. It doesn't change the facts of the encounter. As to "putting words in your mouth", I absolutely did not do that. It is clearly stated in sentence that you bolded that I was stating my opinion.
Quote:You saw the video and found a way to create a situation where beating and gassing a peaceful protest is acceptable to you...that doesn't make it true or right no matter what "view" you say I have.
Now, who's putting words in people's mouth? I have said repeatedly that the baton strikes were unnecessary and over the line, so your allegation that I am fine with the "beating" is both disingenuous and demonstrably false. I explained how the scenario likely occurred based on all known facts. If you have an alternative theory please feel free to advance it.
Quote:The people patrolling the streets have INCREASED the tension and violence by not "protecting" by by rather "attacking".
Are they attacking or are they responding to being attacked? I suppose you'd need more than a two minute video clip to determine such a thing so I'm sure you haven't made up your mind on this.
In the future do please try and limit your assertions of my, or anyone else, saying things that we can prove they did not say. Trying to win an internet argument is not worth engaging in such falsehoods and it's certainly not in the spirit of the new P&R. My thanks.
