Some of the hardened criminals the police rounded up <img src="http://s3-ak.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/terminal01/2011/9/25/11/enhanced-buzz-16364-1316965110-3.jpg">

Which precincts? The ones in the line of fire? LAPD take direct orders from a commission member? I do remember one neighborhood with a machine gun mounted jeep, and didn't appear to be police equipment.
Told ya. Some of the tech savvy protesters identified the badge of "Anthony V. Bologna" as the badass who maced the girls inside the orange fence and then ran away. The protesters are creating a stage where the police have to behave perfectly! And codes of conduct for the police are more stringent than for protestors. This is an interesting inversion. http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/09/26/18691372.php
Looks like Officer Bologna is going to find himself and his department in a bit of trouble. Probably a reprimand and a million dollar settlement from the city for assault will be the result of his carelessness. Of course the city has tons of dough. I just read where the City paid $12 million to subsidize housing for dead people.
This is a common event on the well traveled road to socialism. Buncha layabouts with nothing better to do causing trouble. Violence and civil strife followed up by an ever stronger federal government. Boomers have quite the retirement plan. Capitalism (more or less) during our working years, then socialism and massive government control when we no longer have a job. I vaguely remember something about a social contract - our ancestors giving us this great country with the understanding that we'd pass it on. Well screw that! I don't have any kids so I'm just delighted to @$$ rape the future generations, even if all I get out of it is a super sized fries. Gen X, your retirement's gonna suck. And Gen Y, ROFLMAO! You guys'll be lucky to have cat food. Thanks for voting for big government types all those years, we couldn't have done it without both of you. I suppose some of you are mad at us. But it's not like you wouldn't be doing the exact same thing in our shoes except faster and bigger. This country grows more fond of government solutions for every problem with every generation. Crap, I'm out of bourbon. ring ring "Hello senator? I've got an urgent problem that needs to be immediately addressed by the US Government."
