They weren't displaying any press ID. Could've been any *smile* with a camera. Noobs were in over their heads.
They aren't babies. Clear the area means clear the area.
So, you need ID not to be beaten up by the cops?

Yeah, it's a conflict zone. I bet you don't take your holidays in Iraq or hang around St.Albans train station.
Who's with me in supporting JR?

I sincerely hope for the sake of justice as we know it, that this ex-NBA player is duly compensated for being accused (filmed) of righteously beating down a person he alleges broke his car windshield.
Oh, the humanity!
It might have been smoke, not tear gas. Best tactic is to use smoke first, so most of the crowd runs. Second tap is usually tear gas, wind permitting. But who knows whether the US these days follows best practice.
Yes that is definitely the opinion of many Americans, Reagan was a great orator and made Americans feel good about themselves. However he was the first US president to introduce the concept of trickle down economics which has ultimately resulted in disastrous economic consequences for millions of Americans and has never worked anywhere in the world, including here.
He probably still thinks he's on the set of The Apprentice.
His biggest supporters don't realise he doesn't give a toss about them.
Finally got his wall.....!

A totally understandable reaction. He also acknowledged he was disappointed with his behaviour.
you really think there shouldnt be press coverage of what is happening?
Yes Trumpo is an *smile* but surely no one here can condone criminal behaviour no matter what colour skin you have.
Looting from businesses of any kind is flat out wrong. Violence of any kind must be condemned.
I understand the anger & frustration but there has to be better ways than total anarchy. Otherwise everything goes to *smile*.

He's a veteran looking for a new contract and the NBA frowns on any off-court incident that might bring it bad publicity.
He also had no reason to feel regret. That little bastard got off very light.
"Shouldn't" is a fraught word. Plenty of journo's are killed reporting on wars etc. If that's your level of commitment to getting the story out, good luck to you. But don't complain if you lose an arm or a leg.
You also can't champion anarchy and then complain when the innocent are hurt.
I haven't seen anyone on this thread condone violence and looting, I totally agree with you its absolutely wrong. Do I understand why they have this level of frustration and anger, again absolutely.
Violent protests are never the right thing to do, but we also need to comment on the peaceful protests, but they again are being antagonised by Trump. The protests in Washington DC outside the White House from most accounts have been relatively peaceful bar a bit of graffiti. Trump and the secret service were the ones that intensified it there by trying to create a photo op for Trump, that's also absolutely not on.
I've actually really enjoyed seeing the images coming through over the last few days of the peaceful protestors and the police who are helping to de escalate any tensions at those rallies by showing their solidarity to a lot of protestors, people forget in times like these that the police are just doing their jobs and their political thinking is generally not regarded as important here, ie. they are on the side of the establishment. What the pictures of cops hugging crying protestors, marching with them, kneeling in solidarity (brought around by that other peaceful protest that Trump and Lee on this thread seem to have so much disdain for). This is what should be pushed for, however I do also understand the frustration of the black community, they have had peaceful protests and nothing seems to be done about the inequity in the US system. Its evident from funding of schools, to "free" healthcare etc that the rich and the poor have a massive divide and all the last 60 years have done is continue to drive a bigger wedge through that.
There were pros and cons. Reaganomics ended the recession and brought inflation to heel. It's not going to work without economic growth.
Using a modern prism, you could build a case for or against any leader. Lincoln is customarily at the top of these lists.
