Quebec Police shooting students in the face for illegal protest

Now I'm not saying the police had to back off and let them go, but Jesus you'd think these motherfuckers are better trained at this to know that shooting some kids in the face is perhaps a little too much. The tear gas would still work if you shoot near their legs.

Well, what would you like the police to do? The protesters started shoving them, and from the looks of the video, were also trying to pull cops into their crowd. You can't expect the police to play nice when that happens, because adrenalin is pumping, the cops are scared for their lives, and rightfully so.

And no, tear gas at the legs wouldn't really work at that close of a range. All it takes is a few seconds to pull a cop 10 feet away behind their lines. If that happens, then it turns into a real mess, because the cops have to go into the crowd full force to save their comrade.

How would you have liked them to handle it?

Nothing. In the image I posted earlier they were just blocking the march. The march was declared illegal so police was sent to stop it. A few students decided to keep going and they got shot in the face.

"kids"..."shot"...

propaganda much?

you're just one clown in the recent tidal wave of comical clowns promoting outrage.
 
If the police didn't come to the protests, they wouldn't have been in a position where they felt threatened enough to use that kind of force.

If they didn't sign up to be police in the first place, they wouldn't have felt an obligation to interfere.

But they did sign up to be police, they did show up to a protest, and they did use excessive force. Not because they wanted to serve and protect, but because they are sick in the head and this makes them feel the need to validate themselves by exercising power and control over other peoples lives.

The ones who signed up with good intentions aren't the ones making the rest of them look like violent sociopaths. No question about it, some of them really do want to serve and protect. Its an honorable ambition and we should appreciate that they want to protect us.

Too bad they don't exercise their good intentions when their colleagues are the ones they should be protecting us from. For that alone, fuck every single one of them.
 
I'm not a fan of police, but this whole "little 17 year old girl shot in the face" shit is getting out of hand. A 17 year old female is hardly a "little girl." It would be like someone calling Trayvon Martin a "little boy," and it's ridiculous.

If you've ever been to a protest, you'd know that it's usually the fact that the police show up ready for a war that you get a violent result.

It's like if you were in high school and went to the Principal's office to talk about the water bubbler and he donned his Darth Vader outfit and put a taser on the desk before you started your meeting. A little... overboard.

It creates an environment that is inherently dangerous. And it's initiated by the police. It's almost always this way, not the other way around.

The police act more like an occupying force than your local service provider. And blindly supporting the police and hating on the "dirty" protesters makes me wonder about people who say stuff like that. Maybe you should fucking off yourself.

Most of them are hammers looking for nails. And everyone is a nail.
