1. But someone burned a flag!

I don't think people realize that OPD is not the Officer Friendlies of their own cities.

2. Anyone who still thinks the police aren't politicized should read that thread. In its entirety.

Here's an example of what's being discussed over there:

We all laugh at these vermin, but maybe we shouldn't. It seems that their numbers are growing, even when everyone else is starting to realise how worthless they really are. These people need to be taken seriously and the movement stopped. What the hell has happened to this country? 20 years ago this was unimaginable. Its going to go to live rounds when they use their superiour numbers to try and bum rush the cops. Be careful in dealing with these vermin.

I think this movement is a serious threat to this nation.

Where'd you learn that, Cheech? Drug school?

...I'm having trouble finding a credible point even at the link provide. The LA Times story doesn't mention anything about "escalating to using LIVE rounds on protesters."

Also, the quote is from one of the comments on that discussion board (on edit, the place looks like a wingnut haven)
