The anarchists want anarchy? Very well, give them a taste of their own medicine. There are plenty of good lampposts in every city and town, waiting to be decorated.
I suspect, however, that we would only have to decorate half a dozen or so, before the remaining candidates would go squealing for Mama with all heroic visions of a brave new world cast aside.
Pusillanimous punks, the lot.
This is just more justification for having an overwhelming force of police armed ready to pepper the crowd with rubber bullets. See if they try to start shit when they know they’ll be “put down” if they do. Considering the condition they say the officer is in, they should charge them with attempted murder of a police officer.
Groups like this exist to spoil things for the majority there. Even though most of the anti-G8 protesters are a bunch of moonbats, they aren’t trying to cause damage. Groups like this create havoc by disappearing back among the legitimate groups and then get everyone in trouble which in turn radicalizes the legitimate groups who now feel like they’re being violently silenced.
Still, part of me can’t help but wonder why anyone who risk their life enforcing the laws of a city government as horribly corrupt and tyrannical as San Francisco’s. Despite the romanticized view of cops being daring heros who risk life and limb everday to protect the public, the cops not only have no legal obligation to respond to your call, but the police forces exist to carry out the laws of the state, even if that means tearing your life, liberty and property to pieces. Good laws, bad laws, they are there to execute them and it just so happens that many of the laws happen to be good. Each time I look at that picture I not only feel sorry for the poor guy, since he was obviously just trying to keep the peace and not be some fascist thug, and I also wonder “dude, WTF was going through your mind when you decided to work for the SFPD?!”
frank,
The Army is a lot more efficient. Just fire a few good bursts of artillery into the crowds and bill their families for cleanup. While you’re at it, why not just herd all of those protestors into a public park and have the Air Force carpet bomb the place. No more moonbats that way…
A whiff of grapeshot, Napoleon called it. Always the best cure for a mob, any mob. Blow in its head and scatter the remainder. It will be a long time before they come back.
The intelligence of a mob is easily calculated. Take the average intelligence of the individual human being (100), and divide that by the total number present, and you cannot go wrong.
They ambushed these cops on the way to a call. Maybe even set it up themselves. I’m thinking that a regular citizen reporting vandalism would mention that there’s a mob doing the vandalizing.
It testifies to the officers’ self control that there aren’t several moonbats leaking fluids profusely through holes in various parts of their bodies. Geeze, these moonbats need a very hard lesson and soon.
Some years ago, I saw a report of a .22 rifle, along the lines of a Remington 10-22, but equipped with a 500 round drum magazine. The purpose of the rifle was for use in a prison riot, and it’s most exceptional feature was not the 500 round magazine, but the highly visible red dot of its laser-aiming sight. Tests found that moving the red dot from forehead to midsection to forehead of one ringleader after another had a very subduing effect on the mob, as nobody wants to go first in that instance.
In my MP days in numerous DC riots, those same anti-war peace civil rights marchers nasty jerks were around to throw bricks and bottles, or squirt us with water pistols loaded with bleach or ammonia. We learned to use lots of tear gas and had a very effective weapon, a large CS dispenser we called “pepper-pot”, that looked like a .50 M2 sized ray gun. It was very intimidating to the mobs. We became quite good at coming at these pukes from the windward side, and loved to gas those dirtbags, watching while they first disappeared in a dense cloud of white gas, only their feet showing beneath it, then reveling in those closest staggering, crying, puking and drooling, some on their hands and knees, while the rest dispersed rapidly.
I really wanted to beat their shins and kneecaps with a riot baton or smash their face with a rifle butt, but gas was about all we were allowed to do.
Big-city cop is a really tough job; I sure hope the guy in the picture recovers 100%.
Oh, SMASH has links to a couple of videos of the “event”. They’re RealPlayer vids and only one worked for me. When interviewed the “protesters” seem unable to express themselves much beyond “it’s fucked up, man”.
Oops, that’s a Quicktime movie. Sorry, my mistake.
Call in the RCAF (Riot Control Air Force)....
My heart goes out to the police officers, my goes out to the “anarchists” aka “The Enemy Within”.
Michael Savage has it right, San FranSicko…

This just angers me so much. I hope these get charged with murder if the cop dies as a result of his injuries (God forbid).
My heart goes out to this member of San Francisco’s finest, and his family.
