Cops wearing masks: Lost accountability

[rambone]

At the Toronto G20 summit on 6/21/2010, Canadian police were photographed abusing citizens. One citizen got a fractured skull from the beating. However, even after an investigation, it could not be determined which officers were in the photograph, because they were masking their faces.

This is a story from Canada, but the exact same costumes are worn routinely in this country. Is the real reason for hiding an effort to protect the State from accountability?

Here's a link to a scene from a different part of the same event. Gives you some perspective of the enormity of the situation.

It also gives you an idea of how peaceful protest works in the New World Order. Watch the whole thing.

They are wearing gas mask due to the possibility of launching tear gas.

I don't know of a lot of people who wear a gas mask for long periods of time for fun.

gas masks are like hot claustrophobia while breathing through a straw. Just to help you in your quest for justice...the sneaky unknown masked officer with his foot on the hippie's backpack will be the only black person employed by the police in all of canada.
That should narrow your search.

now now now, there's more than one black officer in the RCMP.

so there's a line up of the 5 mounties tomorrow at 4PM to look at which one has those bulgy arm veins.

I have done CQB force on force against men wearing masks .
You have a distinct advantage when it come to prolonged movement .
You can breath they have to use their diaphragm much harder ... of course there was no gas or smoke in the air so we had the advantage .

Thanks

there's also the added benefit that it's easier to blind or disorient people wearing masks by just grabbing the filter and pulling either way. I hate wearing masks and trying to do anything other than basic tasks.

Looks like they might need a medic.

I think that size 15 boot belongs to Frank_N_Stein...

Canadian Frank-N-Stein? Francis-and-Steinbeck?

Admittedly, the G20 summit was a nightmare for anyone protesting it. Show up with a sign with a bunch of rich financial country heads, they can pay the police to do anything to you. Had it been held in another, let's say less developed, country, arrest and potentially torture could have been involved. The rich don't like the sheep to bleet in anger over their irresponsible fiscal actions...

As the consequences of World Socialism begins to play out and the inevitable collapse of these wealth distribution polices begin to be realized more frequently and to greater degrees, we are going to be seeing more and more "protests". I am all for protecting the safety of officers, but not at the expense of them being able to hide behind masks without a viable form of identifying those that infringe our rights. If they wear anything that hides identity, they need to have something that enables an identity to be determined, perhaps a number with their unit that clearly stands out on their uniform. This "hidden identity storm trooper" image does not bode well for freedom.

OP...would you rather have crowd control handled by the professionals in masks?

I think the guys at Kent State got their point of aim across.

I don't consider the gas mask to be the same thing as say a balaclava or similar garment. Gas masks do have a function, they aren't soley used to hide the face.

 

[KokomoDave]

At least they were carrying Glocks!

doesn't matter who is wearing it! That is one of the nicer models of "jack boot" that I have seen. It would be a pleasure to be kicked and stomped by a set of those!

 

[mertbl]

I kind of admire the cop that stayed on his bicycle to abuse the protesters.

I would greatly appreciate if in the Future, YOU would not refer to these as Professionals...

"Nasty Girls" are not professionals
