They should have treated them like occupy wall street.The tea party can try to act like it is not them but the pictures show who were there.Tear gas should have been used, horses should have trampled people, billy clubs should have been thuncking on peoples heads. And they should have used tear gas launchers to shoot people in the face.
So where were thoses actions? Lets treat everybody the same. And by the way arrest those politicians for being involved.
For all we know some protester just punched a police officer

I understand that with ATS being well, ATS, there is strong anti-police sentiment so I am never going to win over any ATS members saying that i can sympathies with the police on this one.
but
your above comment is just anti-police for the sake of being anti-police.
can you prove in this instance that those police are guilty of anything that would provoke that crowd to treat them with such contempt based on known facts (the video)

OH! So now all Veterans are the Tea Party????
You Progressives will stop at nothing. You welcome illegal immigrants to protest at the Whitehouse, but deny veterans that same right????
Kudos! It is responses like yours that will wake people up to you and your loving POTUS's agenda!!!

I just wonder how the 4th branch of government (media) will portray the veterans who protested.
If they mention them at all.

The answer to that question would, no doubt, put you on the Government's watch list.
Sure if we had say a Rodney King, sort of thing going on then yes I would say the Angry mob are quite right to chant "Shame on you" at police officers. But based on this video that is not the case, these were just a bunch of dudes doing their job.

Looking at the video, I don't see the protesters carying weapons, but I see the police have their riot sticks at the ready to use. By doing this, this is antagonising the situation imo.

I don't and have never felt sorry for the Police in these circumstances.
People are fed up with the way their Government has acted during this 'Shut Down' and have come out to voice their displeasure. Looking at the pictures that have been posted, it all seems fairly peaceful.
In the U.K whenever there is a 'peaceful protest' it usually ends in violence because of the way the Police manage these protests. They know by Kettling people into a controlled area, tempers will flare and violence will break out. Damn there have even been incidents of shills stirring up trouble in order for the police to have an excuse to use violence.
You look at the footage of any 'peaceful protest' and you tell me who is most prepared for violence to break out?
