    the problem with liberals and cops...

    i have to say i find it amusing every time a liberal reporter runs into heavily armed riot cops and express their discomfort. what do you people expect? you have a meeting of one half of the political system that enabled one of the great humanitarian disasters of the past 25 years all while turning a blind eye to the shredding whats left of our rights. by all rights there should be more than just adoring crowds greeting the dems. having been on the receiving end of state repression while said reporters stood back and took pictures, well i don't find pepper guns to be that scary these days, and i don't really care to hear reporters fret over something they will likely never experience.
