Obama’s Boys Call in Riot Cops on Tea Party Protestors (Chavez Would Be Proud) Somebody help me here. What kind of ominous situation requires local law enforcement to dispatch their Darth Vader look-alike SWAT units to keep the peace or kick some criminal butt? I’m guessing it has to be a SNAFU’d type of thang that regular cops can’t handle which requires special weapons and tactics, correct? The reason I’m asking this is because of the events of last week in which riot police were sent out to two different locales on two completely different types of crowds. One I understand, but the other has left me a little discombobulated and a tad discomfited. The first mob that riot cops were called out for was the one in Phoenix comprised of thousands of out-of-control illegal Mexicans who were POed at the fact that Arizona finally wants to treat them like they’re illegal. Imagine that. Yep, I get why the SWAT dudes from PPD rolled out for that melee. The mass of protesting Mexicans were out of whack, grabbing their crotches in defiance of our laws, smearing refried bean swastikas on government windows, flipping American patriots off, trashing and destroying property, and cursing in TexMex at the Arizonans who want our immigration laws upheld and who are sick of the costly mayhem these illegals have brought to their beautiful state. Let’s see, what else did the criminal aliens do to solicit the Phoenix PD’s riot police presence? Man, I know there was something else they did. What was it? Come on, Doug, think man, think! Oh yeah, I remember: They pelted Phoenix’s finest with bottles and trash. Yeah, that was it. Oh, and of course the location of their protest was completely trashed after their ridiculous display of unrighteous outrage. Hey, Julio … way to further endear Americans to your earthly plight, el stupido. I guess Phil Collins was right; it’s no fun being an illegal alien. The other crowd that got SWAT called down on them last week was in Quincy, Illinois—a two-hundred member Tea Party that mainly consisted of peaceful, blue-haired old ladies in Depends singing “God Bless America” outside of the venue where His Highness was reading a teleprompter about how great he is and how he plans to further whiz on the Constitution. Yep, in a scene right out of some B-grade Orwellian flick, the tamest and nicest little old nanas and middle-class couples had Quincy’s Robo-Cops dispatched on them to quell… the, uh … uh … orderly protest and … the … uh … um … patriotic singing and … er … the … the American flag waving. Boy does that make Quincy and BHO look bad, or what? Y’know, what I have gathered from my SWAT friends down here in Miami and what I have watched throughout the years on TV and on the big screen is that the SWAT card only gets played when things are severely jacked up (as in the Phoenix fiasco), but it seems as if the insane-in-the-membrane element was missing a wee little bit from the quaint Quincy rally. But it got the same treatment as Phoenix. Now that’s weird. Here are my questions: Did the Quincy tea partiers represent a high-risk op that regular officers couldn’t handle? That’s an option, even though that place looked like Barney Fife could have manned it without ever extracting his lone bullet from his left shirt pocket. Who knows? Maybe Mr. Whipple had an underwear bomb and was going to light his junk on fire after Obama’s speech? Who can say? Maybe Mr. Rogers had secret hostages sequestered in the Dairy Queen freezer that Quincy SWAT was called in to extract. Or, maybe, just maybe, Grandma Moses posed a terror threat with those long-ass knitting needles she carts around and her high-speed electric wheel chair? I know … it was the possibility that Floyd the barber would show up to that event secretly armed with his straight razor that required Quincy’s cops to send out an elite paramilitary tactical unit with assault weapons, stun grenades, high-end body armor, and armored vehicles! Gosh, maybe. Who knows? I hope that there was that type of over-the-top reasonable cause for Quincy’s cops to roll like that because if there wasn’t that little display of overt force is beginning to smack of Chavez’s Venez-frickin’-uela to me. Lastly, if I were a cop and my superiors wanted me to put on stormtrooper gear and march against salt of the earth patriots like those in Quincy, Illinois, I’d tell them no, and if they didn’t like it then they could stick my pointy metal badge up their confused and chunky backside.

As much as I think the law is a good law and illegals should be deported (personally I think we should have closed borders), Doug Giles' lies and bullshit do nothing but damage the support and image of those who support this law. Giles sounds like the typical propaganda neocon. Either write the truth or shut up. I live in AZ and the wife works at the capital bldg. We watched much of the rally and though it was loud and obnoxious at times it was nothing like Giles wrote. Those like Giles are the ones who undermine good laws and those who back them. There was one incident where a person supporting the legislation was arguing with some of the rally participants and a minor scuffle broke out. When police escorted the man away from the scuffle one water bottle was thrown "AT" the police. Peace permeated Saturday's protests against Arizona's new immigration law as thousands gathered in Phoenix for an early-morning vigil and then an afternoon May Day march. But the size of demonstrations at the epicenter of the immigration debate withered in comparison to rallies across the nation, where tens of thousands of protesters - including 50,000 in Los Angeles - gathered to demand that President Barack Obama tackle immigration reform immediately. In Phoenix, several people were on hand to show their support for Senate Bill 1070, but only a few of those demonstrators riled the crowd. As police escorted them away, they were met with shouts of "White supremacist," "go home, Nazi" and "racist." The measure signed into law last week requires police to inquire about the immigration status of anyone they reasonably suspect to be in the county illegally. Barring a successful legal challenge, the law goes into effect July 29. http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2010/05/01/20100501arizona-immigration-protests.html And isn't interesting that Giles doesn't say anything about moron obama being in Quincy that day. Anytime any president is visiting there is substantial law enforcement present. Quincy Tea Party members wanted President Barack Obama to know they were present Wednesday afternoon during his appearance in Quincy. About 200 people protesting Obama’s policies loudly chanted “USA, USA” as his motorcade made its way out of the Oakley-Lindsay Center, then sang “Hey, hey, hey, goodbye” as the vehicle went by. The participants were vocal but well-behaved as they stood on the north side of York Street across from the OLC. […] There were a few tense moments when the crowd moved west down York toward Third Street after the president’s motorcade arrived. A Secret Service agent asked the crowd to move back across the street to the north side. When the crowd didn’t move and began singing “God Bless, America” and the national anthem, Quincy Deputy Police Chief Ron Dreyer called for members of the Mobile Field Force to walk up the street. The officers, mainly from Metro East departments near St. Louis and dressed in full body armor, marched from the east and stood on the south side of York facing the protesters. There was no physical contact, and the officers did not come close to the crowd, but there were catcalls and more than a few upset tea party members, including a woman who shouted, “This is communism!” McQueen also assisted in asking people to step back to the north side of York. The crowd moved back, the officers stayed for about 15 minutes and left, and there were no other incidents. “It’s just a communication issue. We were trying to get them to move across the street,” Quincy Deputy Police Chief Curt Kelty said. “We were just trying to move them back, they complied, and it was fine.” The neocons who permeate sites like Townhall, FronPage (commie Ashkenzi founder Horowitz's rag) and similar sites should just stay the hell out of politics unless they can get their heads out of their asses and stop blowing things out of proportion. Damn atheist Ashkenazim neocons who took control of our politcs/government under Reagan should all be deported along with the illegals. Their constant use of Hegelian Dialectic tactics to try and cause dissention and violence are the major threat to our rights and freedom.

Since I generally like and respect all of you, and do not wish to get in a pissing contest with any of you, nevertheless I have to side with Eric on this one. While we did see some precursors under Bush I and Klinton it escalated dramatically under Bush the Lesser. That was when the practice of hand picking "town-hall" meeting participants began in earnest and the open Police State Riot Pigs became apparent. While for those of us who have been following the unfolding development of the Animal Farm can readily see the precursors, and find them objectionable, it was only with the Weaver Hit, Branch Davidian Massacre, and OKC that more than a very very small sub-segment of the populace began to arise from their cud chewing stupor and begin to recognize the growing threat to life and liberty. Television was used effectively to downplay the Weaver Hit, and the Internet was just catching on to a broader audience, so it was not that much of a factor. By the time OKC occurred it was more developed but still not reaching a broad enough audience. It was only during Duhbya's reign of terror that it began getting to enough people to start the "viral" spread of truth about the actions of the government goons. We still have a ways to go although I believe things are looking up a hair. What we don't need is harsh acrimony on "fine points" between otherwise well intended patriots such as yourselves. On one level you are all correct in that this has been building for some time, but for many that obviousness is only apparent in retrospect. So, disagree as you will, and dispute as you wish, but let us also try to remember that we are all on the same side.
Fine post, O_I. You said it better than I could.

Unfortunately I'm going to part ways with you there. I don't recall it being a rule that prior to presidential appearances that Black-riot-clothed police in full riot gear flagrantly and overtly, almost boisterously, march fully armed down streets where tremendously well-behaved people, protestors or not, have gathered. SOP is to have their secret service scattered and people "on call" on the sidelines, not marching down the middle of the street in an open show of up-yours viva-la-state.
