Here’s a good example of the kind of unnecessary police force I’m talking about – it’s good to know we don’t have this sort of problem in Australia

Would you still think it was funny if that round had gone through her eye and lodged in her brain?
Obviously, she doesn't know the difference between the two, but I bet she does now. She used a piece of paper to hide behind like a kid ("If I can't see them, they can't see me!"). She has two brain cells left and they ain't talking to each other.

She shouldn't have to be afraid of being shot in the first place! Talk about not connecting the last two brain-cells.

Since I wasn't there, I can't second guess the cops, but if I were, maybe I'd have just shot her in the ass. Really gets her attention and stings like a b!tch.

I hope the people who defend these sort of actions by the police are the first ones to get shot when the food riots start. What if that was your wife or your mother out there? Shame on you.
No one in my family would be foolish enough to be out there, even if they were once they would comply with orders.
As for food riots what are you talking about?

Food rioting has already started in other countries. Only a matter of time before we start seeing it here.
I do not think I will see nationwide food riots in my lifetime.
So are you psychic, what makes you think riots will occur on that date?

And what about martial-law? The death of the US Constitution? It's been suspended sine 1933 anyway, so I guess it really doesn't matter anymore.
What exactly do you mean by the "Death of the Constitution"?
I could see martial law, if an event similar to September 11th were to happen. I could also see martial law in the case of a natural disaster.

The protest was in no way out of control. The woman was singled out and shot in the back. There was no need to use potentially lethal force if the crowd was dispersing and non-violent. As far as I can tell, she didn't even disobey an instruction.

In the video, they say they told her to leave and she didn't. Of course, she's saying that they didn't tell her that, so it's down to a "he said/she said" sort of deal.
And your pictures you posted in the beginning of this thread of military vehicles at the county fire department. Did you think that maybe local Reserve or Guard personnel were getting or giving training to the fire fighters? Or using their training facilities? We use to go to the fire academy to practice repelling.
