Give Peace A Chance---Tacoma Police Riot



Uploaded by: Acumensch
Video Description:
Protesters tear-gassed several times in Tacoma while opposing shipments of military equipment to Iraq. Confrontations had happened all night long between protesters and riot police. As you can see here, the police decided to gas everyone while they sung Give Peace A Chance.

That video shows what police had said after a protest in Miami. It might help explain totalitarian police mentality and why they shot at protesters in Tacoma.
No barricades were thrown, as police claim. A response video was made to police, in fact: watch it here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=z-w7g_8ZCYU

If you want to demonstrat, do it peacefully and don't block shipments of vehicles I need in iraq.
I hope everyone of you hippies got hit with OC, CS, and Mace. You definetly earned it. (Don't worry, I've been hit with crowd control agents. Yes, they hurt. They're supposed to!!)

Blocking the street is not considered peaceably assembling :)
You can't block ... ( 1 month ago by apilgrim74)
You can't block roadways or shipments even if you are protesting. Sorry, but that's life, and a reasonable law... and that's what happens if you try it two feet in front of a group of police officers. Whoever was organizing/leading the protesters to block the road failed everyone there that otherwise was protesting legitimately. And the protesters that advanced on the cops, including one you can clearly see picking up a barricade, ensured an epic fail.

haha they got owned so bad, that dude was like vomiting and then the dude that was whining about getting shot with rubber bullets looked like a total puss. u dont creep toward cops, they get nervous very, very easily. it is perfectly legitimate for u to get a bruise from a rubber projectile or get some oc all in ur throat if that rules out the possibility of groups taking their little "peaceful tea parties in the streets" to throwing rocks, barricades, bottles, etc. at the police

So, in the strange little world YOU live in, just what does "NOT POLOCE" mean? look on the side of your pipe, it says not to drink the bong water.

You people who defend this police action, you a disgrace for a human being aswell as the cops. I dont care if you dont like protesters for what ever pathetic reason, but to support unprovoked violence is the reason your country is spiraling into tyranny. You wont be happy when they are breaking your door down for some unlawful reason.

We really need to ... ( 3 weeks ago by PowwowTime)
We really need to hire about 40-60 people to do a mock protest for each academy group. Classroom time followed by a realistic simulation is always the highest quality training, I find. But the problem is, some people think they have "rights" that do not exist. There is no Constitutional right to sit down on a roadway that is designated by the Law for automobile traffic. Actions that inherently violate the Law are not "peaceable". If the Law is wrong, we have this thing called Court. Right?

they got off easy, and they were breaking the law. and our country will be fine.....which one are you from again?
The use of tear gas ... ( 3 weeks ago by PowwowTime)
The use of tear gas is easily upgraded to the use of pistols, rifles and shotguns. Are you prepared similarly? Do you have advanced paramilitary training, protective equipment, state of the art communications, well practiced teamwork, wide availability of backup personnel, and the virtually unlimited funding enough to best all of theirs? Simply put: "Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya??" LOL

If we're gonna tlak law here then I think it would be apprpriate to point out the legal maneuvering bush and Cheney will have to do once they leave office to avoid war crimes accusations. I'll take concerned and compassionate citizens sitting in a straight over greedy politicians starting wars based on lies any time.

Hippies are the reason the city's stench is known as the "Tacoma Aroma". It comes from a mixture of B.O., Patchouli oil, weed, unemployment, laziness and tear gas!

"There is no Constitutional right to sit down on a roadway that is designated by the Law for automobile traffic."
That's not it at all... It's for public use. They have a right to block traffic IF the public allows it and the city gives them a permit saying so. I bet all those stinky hippies have a copy of the permit on them because they look so organized!
