[kj] (OT) Police Brutality part 2

[Brendan Quinn]

It's a trivial amount of money, why focus on it? Is that your only counter
argument to the protests? Do you think the pigs corralling the protesters
up, assaulting people who are sitting down etc, killing people with their
hands in their pockets, does anything to calm the crowds? 

 

I'm not suggesting it's fair for those people whose property is destroyed,
but in the big picture it's more of a distraction. And yes, you can come
back and say well it's not a distraction to those people.but that's not my
point. Big picture.

It doesn't put that argument into perspective, I'm afraid, because it's not
particularly relevant to my point. Or are you try to suggest that rioting
and looting are okay because the damage is done is far less that the amount
lost in this financial crisis?

 

Most people can't afford to have their shops looted and trashed, regardless
of how much money the banks have pissed away.
