Yes, at first it just looks like a bunch of guys engaged in typical male baboon behaviour, but in the end you can see how their takedown and arrest is so staged (they are way too gentle with them). And as you can see by my latest update, the cops now admit they planted those "protesters". We should all be outraged that they were hoping to stir up and escalate the protests.<BR/><BR/>And protesting can be effective. Recall back a few years in the Ukraine when the public thought the election results were a fraud. Thousands camped out and protested and would not leave until a new vote was held, which they got!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06957998770145424270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22429591.post-1541789428724756412007-08-23T17:02:00.000-04:002007-08-23T17:02:00.000-04:00I made it halfway thru and all I see is a bunch of...I made it halfway thru and all I see is a bunch of grown men acting like jerks, I can't tell who's on what side to be honest. Everyone kind of looks fake to me (maybe they're ALL cops! :-), like they're all playing a role, only badly. The grunting of the protesters sounds pretty halfhearted, so are those the fakers? <BR/><BR/>I've never really been into protests, I find them counterproductive, it marginalizes people with valid concerns when they themselves make their side look like a bunch of doofuses.<BR/><BR/>It'll be pretty darn interesting to see if there were cops faking to be protesters though. Sometimes people who go into police work as a second choice when they just couldn't make it in the world of crime.-N-https://www.blogger.com/profile/04830986033601676112noreply@blogger.com
