Multiple arrested as Antifa, police clash at Philadelphia 'Blue Lives Matter' march
The Hill ^ | 08/25/18 | John Bowden

Philadelphia police made several arrests as police clashed with Antifa protesters at a "Blue Lives Matter" rally on Saturday.

Hundreds of protesters and counter-protesters gathered downtown to demonstrate support for law enforcement and against police brutality, stop-and-frisk policies and mass incarceration, according to CBS News.

Pictures and video posted to social media showed police arresting several people and overturned bikes blocking a street while onlookers chanted slogans.

Some chanted "Who do you serve?" and other messages directed at officers making the arrests, which began after some demonstrators were blocking traffic.

It was unclear from the video how many people were arrested, and Philadelphia police did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

Who do you serve?

The police should yell back, “ Who pays you? Who arms you, buys your helmets, uniforms, t-shirts, batons and shields?”

Then they should whack ‘em and stack ‘em in the paddy wagon, set high bail, and go after the agents-provacateurs that organize them.

Handle it like the Chinese would.

I would like to see Ted Wheeler-C (Portland mayor) tell the police to stand down while they are protecting a Blue Lives Matter march.

"...Antifa chants..."


Did any of their witty and clever chants begin with the rarely-used phrase: “Hey, hey, ho, ho.” by chance?

Any and all antifa demonstrators wearing a mask or hiding their face should be instantly arrested (forcibly is good) and fined. Before any yelling is done, but certainly if the masked ones incite to riot. And expose their identities for all to see who the troublemakers are.

From here on out, anyone wearing a mask should be arrested and hauled away...

When Antifa goons are arrested, the identities and mug shots should be posted for all to see.

Supporters of whatever Big Media doesn’t like are now called “counter-protesters”.

Their entire narratives are framed around and in support of our domestic enemies at every opportunity.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. Disgusting.

We should have more "Blue Lives Matter" marches just to bring these cockroaches out of the woodwork and expose them.

Yes!

Complete with the addresses for both them AND their parents.

Where they work or go to school.

Public shaming goes a long way, especially those who are trust fund brats since mommy and daddy wouldn’t want their names/ reputations tarnished.

So now Blue Lives Matter is somehow “facist”?

What’s going to be the next anarchist target, fire departments?
