One of the cops lost his cool, it seemed to me...?

And it was on the edge of becoming a full-scale riot. A large one.

It's beginning to look like a repeat of January 6th, in reverse. It's the authority figures beating the hell out of people. Let us hope not, but it doesn't look good in Los Angeles.

They sound like they are shooting blank artillery rounds? The noise is loud and meant to disperse a crowd. They have mixed in several smoke bombs and the "military" seem to be coming out of the smoke? Some sort of psyops, maybe?

*I know there are a few Nam vets out there that are getting flashbacks listening to those barrages of artillery blasts going off. Did they bring Artillery?*

..... trDUMP - rather than filling his diaper up with shit - he has a diaper full of seminal fluids from his perpetual violence inflicted upon others - which induces a throbbing woody for his sexual enjoyment and gratification.

that she had a friend who was at the New York anti Ice demonstration and that the police were trying to force a confrontation. I think that is the game plan.

The aggressor defines the context of the battle.

This way he can posture and pretend to be a tough guy when he’s the biggest panty God ever put on his green Earth

.... and unlimited executive powers for djt. Under Martial Law the Heritage Foundation's Nazi Manifesto AKA Project 2025 will get fully enacted at 10 X the speed of light.

Mid-term elections get canceled until Martial Law is rescinded.

Authoritarianism and Fascism become the predominant political ideology. American Democracy is tossed into the dust bin of history having out lived its usefulness.

So the Fascists hope + think.
