ok, fine... it's back to the RIOT GUNS then!!!Maybe they think rioters would be better controlled with a "time-out".
Naaaaa. Next time, the Boston PD should just whip out the shotguns.
What the heck. That would remove a couple dozen leftist votes in 2008 anyway?
Less-lethal weapons are for wusses.
Did you know some of those ever-so sweet college kids had stabbed some Boston police horses with a pencil. Kinda got the whole incident rolling. And you'd think they would learn from her death but no, approx. 30 were arrested during the Boston Red Sox rolling rally. But, o'h they're just kids. Pathetic.
The Boston police are pretty heavy handed at times. There is no civilian review board here. I saw an interview with one kid who got hit in the upper lip by one of these projectiles, splitting it open and bleeding all over the place. As his girlfiend was helping him to get some help they approached the cops asking for help, and the blasted him with another 12 shots. His whole upper torso was covered with huge welts.
The solution to this whole problem is, the next time riots happen, round up all of these liberal people, put them in front of the riot, tell them to make the riot 'go away', then leave them.
Like what....stern language?
Listen I live in the Boston area and these cops were dead wrong. I watch these so called "riots" and they did not warrant the force they used. So to all the people who think "using shotguns" and that there would be "less liberals" get some class. A innocent 20 year old girl died.
How many people have died falling in their showers? Ban all bathing!!!
Or, here's a chance to try that 'sensitive' thing Kerry's been wanting...
Personally, I agree that they should stop using the less-lethal weapons.
Why not just use the plain old lethal kind?
I was there. Ten feet from the girl. We had no idea the police were firing in our direction. It was an accident. I assumed she had simply passed out or taken an elbow to the nose. The girl I was with spent several hours at the police station a few days later to offer testimony.
I can tell you that the same policeman who made the errant shot had bottles raining down on him I was there. I saw it.

p.s. The curse is dead! ;-)
One person in Boston is killed at a protest by a pepper ball and people hold the police responsible.
Thousands of people in Iraq were killed in their homes by poison gas and people don't hold Saddam responsible.
Crazy world
ok, fine... it's back to the RIOT GUNS then!!!
