Quote by: another day  There should be NO police sent to protests. If someone calls 911 to report an emergency, then sent some, but I don't buy the argument that we need entire battalions of stormtrooper cops dressed like members of the military to surround and threaten peaceful sign waving citizens. It is an underhanded police state tactic to undermine dissenters of the state. |
What about protests where we know the protesters will run in and try to cause a scene on camera? I don't think we need telepathy to bet the protesters at both the republican and democratic conventions will have plenty of people seeking to rush inside and cause a massive media scene.
Don't the conventions and the guests deserve to be able to meet and hold an event in peace? This right has to be protected. There will obviously be door guards. Wouldn't these guards as well ignite the crowd? So then were left with either using police protection to keep a peace or letting the crowd run rampant.
