Push, meet shove

Court ordered the truckers to clear the bridge between Windsor and Detroit, to be done a few minutes ago. This may not work well.

I remember 2020 when BLM protestors closed roadways with their marches and the feeling was that the cops couldn't sweep them away fast enough. I see no difference here.

If you see the two actions are even in the same hemisphere, you are sick.

It's Canada. They have not yet gotten the idea of being subjects out of their thinking. They will do what they are told by the powers that be in the capital. They are a compliant people. Given the intertwining of economic activity across the border, the same thing will be done on the US side. The biden cabal will define conveniently define any opposition as terrorism and call in whatever "assets" will look good on the 30 minute news cycle so as to give the best result later this year in the mid-term election cycle. JMHO. Sincerely. bruce.

In Canada the truckers want to complete their daily duties and go to a pub and have a beer without having to show their papers.

Remember the old Laugh In show? Show Me Your Papers was a joke? Today it is no longer a joke.

Fook 'em, eh?

It's all an astroturfed display of bufoonery funded by a GoFundMe and a ragtag collection of people with large flag collections.

They should all just drive single file onto Lake Huron until they find the soft spot.

[dryheat]

Well, ya, we went to the border and well dang we protested that darned mask thing. Large flag collection, that's a good one. Hold on; the Canadians beat us to the protest? Well, let's get started Branden.

That's a feeling that you have, because you are sympathetic to the goals of one group and unsympathetic to the other.

But stopping traffic is stopping traffic. If you are going to criticize BLM for doing it, then you should criticize the truckers for the same. Otherwise it's pure hypocrisy.

BLM also stands for Berlin-Luebecker Maschinenfabriken, a WW2 small arms manufacturer. More proof that BLM is a Nazi organization, I suppose.

They don't have the freedom of assembly to peacefully protest like we do.... pity. Some of these people in this country took to the next level and get away with it. Too bad we don't have enough Kyle Rittenhouse's, huh ?

Show us where the truckers have pillaged, burned, and ruined private businesses. How many people have died because of the truckers protest?

No, they are NOT equal in any respect.

I have zero difficulty with the idea that destructive behavior gets met with stern force, and forfeits any claim to public sympathy.

I doubt very much, however, that you can admit that this incident from Buffalo, NY, in June 2020, was out of line. As a reminder, the cops, in full riot gear, were dispatched to stop a protest that was blocking traffic and nothing else. Increasingly being a right wing extremist/sympathizer requires a terrible memory and bad internet search skills.

Well Togor changed from the OP again and posted about another bad police incident to add to all the other ones he has brought up about bad police incidents through the years. He always posts about bad police incidents even though, as I mentioned they are a tiny few out of the hundreds of thousands of good police work....That always makes me wonder what is in his background to always posts these negative police incidents?.

The incident of the old man is very regrettable and he looks injured from the fall. But maybe some questions, why is he the only one standing alone facing all the advancing police and what appears to be him arguing with the officers. Did anything lead up to the incident? And was he told to get out of the way before he was pushed?

[RED]

I do not think a 1 in 10,000 anecdote sets the rule. Yes the police are involved in responding about every reported crime involving violence. Yes they are human and sometimes make human mistakes.

You, of course, have never admitted to being wrong about a anything while publishing hundreds of posts that were nothing but forwarding pure lies.

I sometimes make a mistake. But you and Ray think I was just a truck driver. What the Hell can I know ?

[milboltnut]

we need more Kyle Rittenhouses.... Enough is enough even with these peaceful protesters, that old man was in that cops face cop told him to get out of the way and talk doesn't help anymore!! They're supporting the unpeaceful BLM movement I'll bet.
