So "mad dog Mattis"(hate that nickname by the way) goes anti -trump and once again the most hardcore of his supporters---TURN ON MATTIS. Do you folks understand your guy is a wealthy deferrment dude who would likely sell out his comrades in combat if you bent his fingers back?

What is amazing is how those who support this would be losing their minds if the other party's leadership was doing the same thing. Imagine the furor! We are hypocrites.
Donald Trump is deploying unmarked federal police, decked out like a paramilitary force, to grab Americans off the streets. He’s not protecting liberty; he’s practicing tyranny.

This is a constitutional violation here. The Press is protected by by THE VERY FIRST AMENDMENT. That's how important it is. Those of you who don't agree with it can take it up with the framers.
"I'm press, I'm press, I'm press! I'm with the Des Moines Register," she keeps clearly repeating as she tries to move out of the area.
Police surround her, then pepper spray her in the eyes anyways.

Little bit of history: remember how during the civil rights era those who were on the other side of the issue kept blaming "communists" and "Northern Agitators" (in the South) as a way to make it look as though without those bad actors,everyone was just happy and fine?

*sigh*.Can't we look at collective human behavior a bit (crowds for example) & understand that once riots start there is no leadership/control?Blaming groups/leaders/individuals for not keeping them "peaceful" shows a lack of understanding about the actual dynamics on the ground.

1. Riots have played a huge role in U.S. history. If I told you that rioters were hurling taunts and insults and snowballs and clubs and rocks at army troops sent in by the government to keep the peace you might suggest shooting the rioters would be in order. (Cont)".)

2. I'd call it juvenile or ignorant or pathetic but those make it seem less evil. If you can't call out something like this (even without all the facts yet) why should anyone listen to any grievances you might want to highlight? You are not, if that's the case, an honest broker.

Also, it's a wonderful way to avoid having to deal with what the protesters are protesting about. You can just say that they are the equivalent of "useful idiots" doing the Kremlin's (or whatever) work for them. Convienient way to change the subject.

If that were true,think about who you would owe a "thank you" to for pushing racial progress forward (like ending "separate but equal"). I know that any such involvement by "communists" in that movement was a drop in a bucket-99.9% of it was due to Americans protesting injustice.

1. One thing to remember: the system (ANY govt system) can better deal with low level violent civil disorder than peaceful civil disobedience. Violence undercuts potential allies and gives excuses and material from which to craft false equivalencies to current opponents.
