Gee, he provokes the cops and none of them stand up and attack him like they do with women and disabled people..
Wonder why..

I call shenanigans on this. I don't think this guy was a vet. He is wearing a uniform that isn't even close to fitting him, and not because he may have gotten more muscular. The sleeves end just below his elbows, and they aren't tailored that way.
Additionally, what was he really shouting about. That wasn't even full riot gear the cops had. What is he honestly complaining about? Cops with helmets? Walking in a group? There are thousands of protestors, some of who have openly professed to being up for violence, and this guy is begrudging the cops a little precaution? I don't think a sane man, or vet would make that big a stink over such nothingness, especially sporting a uniform 3 sizes too small.

Ok, just a question....as a fellow vet, do you honestly think this guy is acting like a marine, running the streets, screaming at the police and basically acting like a kid throwing a temper tantrum then going on a talk show to brag about it. Does that sound like the behavior of a marine? What I see is when I watch this video what I see is a vet STILL wearing his uniform, screaming for help saying its not a war again and again, I wish I could personally take him to the VA and get him into mental heath. To me it is obvious this guy has PTSD, has anger issues and is having trouble dealing with the war. Everything in me says to help this guy, not encourage him. Understand what I am saying?

3. Since he is not in the military anymore...do you think he gives a # about "properly" wearing the uniform? He is not trying to be an image of recruitment by acting like the perfect toy soldier.

The best words Ive ever heard spoken were by my old USMC Chief Warrant Officer "cops pin on their courage and strap on their balls"....
Those words are WHAT KEPT me from being a cop post-military..
Yeah imagine if 5,000 vets showed up to the protests...P-O'd that they were risking their lives, dying, and fighting for freedom abroad, to come home and see a Gestapo terrorizing their grandparents, sisters, mothers, and children!!!!
The first sign I see of PIGS attacking like Kent state, IT WILL OFFICIALLY BE ON>>>>> Im not the only former Marine who hates what the cops have become....
I know at least 3 others who (the 4 of us) could take out at least 10 cops in a hand to hand fight.. Ive beat down 2 at a time myself one night. they were off duty, and thought they ran the dance floor..
another time while in Irvine, 5 cops didn't realize the 5 of us (all over 6ft marines) wouldn't stop "flirting" with their dates.. (what chick would choose a cop over a marine anyway) the girls sent US drinks!! long story short..we didn't see a badge till the parking lot.. one cop pulled a gun, stupid him, i took it from him and made him lick the barrel, while his 4 buddies were in headlocks by my crew... COPS ARE COWARDS!!!!!!!! 6'3" 250lb former marine will take on any pig...

Man, it's assholes like you that give us Marines and former Marines a bad name. You and your buddies sound like real tools with no respect, thinking you're something special. Your story is complete bull#, and you know it. What happened after you took the gun? Did you give it back or keep it? Did you call the police to report that the cops assaulted you and pulled a gun after showing you a badge and identifying themselves as officers? Did they just let you go? I highly doubt it. If that actually happened, you would have had 20+ cops on the scene, skull #ing you with their batons. Don't make up weak stories...

Standing up for peoples rights and freedoms makes him "Mentally Ill"... Interesting logic.
He's just fed up, like many of us vets, with the current state of the US.

Watch the videos. Those cops had their gear on yeah, but they were just walking down the street doing their job. They weren't hurting people, or acting like they were in a war zone.....This guy FREAKED out and started screaming its not a war to them.......you dont see a problem there, seriously?
