1. Pretty interesting. Shows there are not looking for terrorists at all
Just political opponents. Their fascination with who is "their leader" is interesting. Projection - they don't think anyone has a mind of their own and can just be led - what they want to do themselves. So to them the greatest danger is the people who they think have the ability to do what they want to do.

2. You never see police video of anti-abortion protests.
And those people use bombs. Those terrorist also get a wink and a nod from the current administration though.

8. The final few minutes of that should have come in the beginning...
Showing the media reporting the "bottle" being thrown, followed by the police pre-emptively planning to attack the protesters should have been up front. I'll send this to people I know, but a lot of them are going to turn it off after the first comparison to Germany...

11. Don't blame B*sh for this shit
Blame yourself. Blame yourself, blame me, and blame every other American who allowed this apparatus to be built over the last six decades.

We should not have police forces that are even CAPABLE of these actions. Our tax dollars should not purchase them the weapons and training that EQUIP them for these actions. The police should be POWERLESS in the face of the citizenry.

Kent State, Waco, it goes on and on. As long as YOU and ME and EVERYONE around allows the police to build a force of occupation, we are simply building a TOOL for whoever rolls into power next.

12. Thanks for that!
Agreed a must see video! DC police just settled a lawsuit for pepper spraying a crowd behind a barrier during the 2004 inauguration.
