11. Cant be true. I've been told repeatedly by a few people on this site
thatvin the US nobody is ever abused for any reason when they refuse to do what the police say.

Yeah bitches.

12. this jackbooting is going to soon become so commonplace in the US that it will barely make the news
You have tens of thousands of rabid new police recruits pouring into your 'law enforcement' ranks fresh from the multiple battle arenas of your wars of empire. It's going to get downright bloody ugly. The goons are rewarded, those with a conscience get the pink slip. Across the nation the brutes can't wait to split some heads open. :spank:

15. Something not right here
about this report. It seems a little sensationalized in the content. I lived in a college town all my life and there were a couple of times where the party got clearly out of control, property was damaged, people were hurt and citizens were harassed. There weren't riot gear and sound cannons back in those days but the national guard was called in to bring thing under control. I'm thinking there may have been a little more going on than this one little Teabagger is saying in his video report.

18. so now anyone who protests police state goon tactics is a 'teabagger'? - ridiculous assertion
Talk about playing right into the hands of a false left/right paradigm.

16. Do we need an invasion?
Perhaps we need North Korea to Invade the U.S. to free us from tyranny?

I am merely highlighting the fact that too many think this is the land of the free and then we support Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and their fight for freedom.

17. Observation: the police caused the "riot"
I just looked at a whole bunch of videos of this and I could not find the riot until the swat team arrived. A bonfire is not a riot! Even if they did take down a stop sign.

Next year, Kiddos, be prepared for these assholes and have a plan, stay legal and make it simple enough to pull off even if you are toasted. Clean up your mess. Party on because life will stop the fun and games before you know it.

I hope that a bunch of good kids don't end up with a criminal record that will follow them into their post college careers.
