They were sent into the maw of the beast armed with essentially nothing...

If you looked closely during the video you will notice they have standard issue Metro Police sidearms, probably Glocks, other than that you're not far off in your assessment.

I heard one reference to a Taser, and saw the butt of one side arm on the bicycle cops, other than that the videography was pretty poor.

Perhaps your eyes are sharper, or perhaps you are referring to the few real cops in black, mixed in with real helmets, real face shields and real thick jackets.

The sacrificial piggies in thin blue windbreakers had little flex batons in their nervous sweaty hands and not much else in evidence.

Here's a screenshot. My eyes are pretty sharp, but my ability to lift screen grabs is a bonus.

This is from the original Facebook Hi-Def video.

Yes. That’s the one sidearm I spotted. The Hi-Def version sure makes a difference!

Photobucket seems to have pulled your photo. It must have given some idiot butt hurt.

That said, the FReeper code of conduct is to obey all lawful orders. This includes veterans.


Slavery was once “lawful.” Technically, what the NAZIs did was “lawful.”

You do what’s “Right” whether it’s legal, convenient or popular.

I pulled it. It was an animated gif and it was sucking up my bandwidth.

Here's the same goofballs as they were crossing the street. You can spot the holsters on their right hips.

Totally impossible to discern in the low-rez video I saw.

Well like I said, your assessment was pretty good, you were just wrong about the guns.

In my initial post on this thread, I called them “out of step Mall cops in training”. I should have added “with Glocks, batons and bike helmets”. LOL!

Please, no offense taken! I very much appreciate the feedback and corrections. (And, of course, the praise!)

No offense meant, as Freepers we share what we know and strengthen each other in the process! :o)
