    The average American is probably looking like this right now, watching these antagonistic protestors (and obviously rioters and looters).

        It’s happening in every city in the country. Even around me right now. There are many peaceful protestors, sure, but it seems there are many criminal looters, rioters, and yes protestors that think they are being peaceful when they are NOT.

        If you’re blocking traffic, or locking arms when you’re violating curfew, or not dispersing when you’re lawfully being ordered to, even if your “hands are up”...you better expect getting tear gas, or being tackled by police, or being pushed back by a squad car.

        I wouldn’t be surprised to wake up tomorrow knowing the military opened fire.

        Don't know if I would issue bullets, but I would issue bayonets and clubs and have the military clear some of the worst of these cities. Cold steel has a chilling effect on most hot-headed rioters.

            Bold take down. Figured that cop’s arm was broken the way he landed on the pavement!

                Saw video clips of that on twitter last night but they said he had a ‘sword’, which sounded odd.

                  The worst video I saw (though the guy isn’t in as bad of shape as the Dallas guy) was a dude straight up soccer-kicked in the head when he was already out cold.

                    I heard "machete."

                    There's a longer video of him wielding the machete chasing after the "protestors."

                        I would never condone violence against anybody for any reason, but that racist got exactly what was coming to him.

                            1. Do not go out and antagonize a mob.
                            2. Keep a wall behind your back.
                            3. If in imminent danger, pick out the baddest dude and put a 158g hollowpoint in his gut. The screams tend to deter other badasses...

                              That guy is lucky to be alive. A kick like that is often fatal.

                                  Don't know what "aftermarket ventilation" mean, but they kicker should be identified and prosecuted the full extent of the law.

                                      Scary scene indeed. Imagine the terror of being a protester and not being able to so much as shove a cop or throw a water bottle at them without them totally flipping out and overreacting.
