It happened near Ogilvie Transportation Center, where the demonstrators gathered to protest the Israeli consulate. Officers also allowed the group to march south toward Union Station.
Sorry… you think because this is nowhere near what was happening in 1968, that somehow excuses police actions? How did you even make that connection?
The point is that the media has been spending weeks hyping this up as though it is going to be just as tumultuous and it just hasn’t been. They wanted it to be so people would pay attention to the news and they’ve been pretty much disappointed that it isn’t happening. Some of them are angry it isn’t happening.
I think you need to go read up on what happened in 1968 at the DNC. It started with the cops murdering a teenager who was protesting. By the end, there were hundreds of people in hospitals.
In 1968 protesters died because CPD killed them. I was drawing a through line from you saying it’s not 1968 to the current police violence, and asking those police to not act like the police did at the DNC in 1968
Again Squiddy, you’re being defensive and not asking for context but reacting to what you think I said.
You were reacting to something I said because you didn’t ask for the context and ended up talking about something other than the media. The thing I was talking about.
I’m sure you won’t be defensive about that though.
Wat? I was agreeing with you and made a joke in the spirit of your comment and you attacked me. Look at my other comments in this thread I don’t support police violence. Wtf are you talking about?
Yes, I totally attacked you. And I definitely didn’t ask for context either. I mean, if I had asked for context, I would have said something like:
Sorry… you think because this is nowhere near what was happening in 1968, that somehow excuses police actions? How did you even make that connection?
And then after that, I would have done something like explain my position. Maybe saying something like:

And then finally, I might have tried to explain why I thought you should be more informed:

But no, I just attacked you. You personally, not the things you said. Full-frontal attack with no explanation and no questions.
I literally asked you how your dog is doing in another post Squiddy and sent you what worked for us when Bucket died of brain cancer to help him with his fear of the vet.
You’ve been increasingly inflammatory with the language you use and are more defensive about your positions than you have in the past.
When I asked if things are ok at home that was legitimate concern. And you removed that comment and called it a personal attack.
Can you tell CPD that too?

Now that is a personal attack.
Especially when you almost certainly don’t actually care what my answer is.
