Arming for Riots Across America? Homeland Stockpiling “Less Lethal Specialty Munitions”
Riot police of the Western world have recently come up against a succession of formidable threats. In Frankfurt for instance, German authorities were forced to square off against a legion of angry clowns who, in an effort to express their displeasure at austerity measures advocated by the ECB (which was at the time celebrating the completion of their new Frankfurt headquarters), set quite a few things on fire. Meanwhile, in the mean streets of Montreal, an “association of young communists” forgot to provide authorities with a protest itinerary, which led police to settle the matter with rubber bullets and sound bombs. Finally, in Quebec City, riot police were accosted by dozens of students who wanted, among other things, for the library to stay open longer, leaving authorities with no choice but to show protesters the meaning of “crowd control” via point-blank tear gas gun assaults. Here are the visuals:
Given that, and considering several recent contentious situations in Ferguson (Michael Brown) and New York (Eric Garner), it appears the Department of Homeland Security (via the US Customs and Border Protection dept) is intent on enhancing its ability to bring unruly crowds under control, so if you are a “less lethal” munitions supplier, you may want to check out the business opportunity the government has for you. Here’s the official summary:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) intends to solicit responses to Request for Information (RFI) 20082225-JTC for Less Lethal Specialty Munitions (LLSM) for use by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). CBP is interested in incorporating commercial and industry practices that support this type of procurement. To accomplish this, CBP intends to make industry a partner in all facets of the acquisition process, specifically by considering existing market capabilities, strengths and weaknesses for the acquisition of this commodity. Responses to this RFI will allow CBP to incorporate industry input into the initial stages of the procurement. Note: RFI responses will NOT be shared with other industry suppliers and will solely be used as part of the procurement planning process.
In case you’re wondering what types of munitions Homeland Security is looking for, here’s a list: a variety of smoke canisters, an assortment of crowd management projectile cartridges, controlled noise and light distraction devices (Batman may also be looking to purchase some of these), and the always useful “ferret rounds,” which, for those unfamiliar, will blow apart any barriers protesters may be hiding behind and upon impact, will introduce chemical agents into the surrounding environment.
How all of this is useful for "border protection" we don't know, but for a more detailed breakdown, you can read the entire list below. There's also a helpful summary courtesy of SHFTPlan.com:

Less lethal means:
Survivors will be shot again!
Keep Obeying Your Overlords... you'll get more of the same.
What do we need?
FUN CAMPS!
Remember....there's no crying at Fun Camp.
The "less than lethal" munitions are for when the news cameras are rolling. The 40 cal hollow points are for all other times.
Hey, didn't another plane go down over the Java Sea last night? A320 with about 150 poeople on board?
I guess that doesn't matter because they're just Orientals, so they don't count because there's billions of them. Would have bet just about anything that would be the lead-off story on ZH this morning, but nope.
Of course - you don't slaughter milk cows!
***** Unless they belong to another farmer.
The morons didn't know "to combust" is not a verb.
How is the "dog-eat-dog" mentality of capitalism working out for an average American citizen these days?
All while I am stocking up on MORE lethal munitions. They are screwed.
Don't tell people that. Just do it.
Capitalism is working just fine! The Socialism coming from the Kenyan Marxist and his buddies? Not so well...
You're right that what Obama is dishing out isn't working for the lower 95%. But it's Fascism, not Socialism or Marxism. Obama is advancing the merger of corporate and state power, while pursuing foreign wars to seize control of the trade and resources of other countries. Sure, there are some handouts at home to pacify those who might otherwise cause trouble. But there's no handing over the means of production to "The People." And no Socialist or Marxist would ever have bailed out General Motors, Wall Street, or the Health Insurance industry. Actual Socialists and Marxists hate Obama more than any Conservative.
Unfortunately, Americans don't seem to mind the concept or word "Fascism." And Obama's organized opposition also favor the merger of corporate and state power; they just favor Energy over Finance. So they call him a "Socialist" and a "Marxist" because Americans don't know what those names mean but they know they hate them.
They can't be "just Orientals", if we all came out of Africa.
Lightfield makes some great less lethal rounds in 12 ga. They also make the most destructive 12 ga 3 1/2" magnum slug on the planet. Great for stopping vehicles or elephants.

Take a lesson from Maidan.
Bordeaux (AFP) - French justice officials have concluded that pilot error caused a helicopter crash near Bordeaux in December that killed a Chinese billionaire and his son as they flew over his newly-purchased wine estate.

Speaking of 'orientals' ... this is fascinating.

...or alternately, the "less than lethal" munitions are for when Central America tries en masse to immigrate to the U.S.. The .40 cal hollow points are for the citizens.
Less lethal and non-lethal are two different things.
Less Lethal "? Doesn't mean it won't kill youit means you'll roll around screaming like your face is on fire, scaring the shit out of all the other serfs before you die an agonizing death
Less Lethal "? Doesn't mean it won't kill you
It just means it will take longer for you to die.
It means it only kills you a *little* bit.
dat right jus' suffah mo' befo' yous dies bruthah...
No way to ourgame them, they have been at this for centuries, and run all the tricks needed for whatever goal. Best just to be outside their interest area. They dont cause trouble in their own neighborhoods, although, you do have to pick your elites carefully ! look at dresden, there were 13 empires at the start of ww2, dresden was the home of one, princes had fixed it up for many years, people thought they would be safe there, but, that empire was one of the 3 eliminated, and dresden, after it was chock full of empire toadies, was firebombed. Oh, those rascally elites, like sauron, the power is only going to be more concentrated. rare planet, taken over by fake royals.
you are perfect slave
"No way to ourgame them"
roll over and die a*shole
Sheeeit dude your a total pussy. Paintball level armor, organic vapor filters on your painter's mask and some ear plugs shrugs off all that less lethal crap.

Fuck off
"Keep Obeying Your Overlords"
Keep being a sychophant apologist for your overlords [fixed it]
CH1 was being sarcastic.
In fact, the default tone to take when reading 90% of ZH blogs, is that the author is using a sarcastic/ironic tone. (BTW, I did not junk you).
Actually, I believe CH1 was 'acting' sarcastic [but deep down he actually believes that shit]...
crypto words like 'OVERLORDS'... Give me an effin break...
If someone, like myself, tries to take it a step further and identify 'WHOM' these overlords are, it inevitably leads to the same conclusion [& CH1 has proved himself time and time again to be a sychophant & apologist for that class of thieves]
So no ~ he WASN'T being sarcastic at all, but idiots around here line up around the block to upvote a comment about those scary, nameless, generic 'OVERLORDS' [whom, I suppose, are 'Luciferrians' ~ rolls eyes]
Depleted uranium rounds for everyone. If they are looking for people to do the dirty work, NYPD detective Cherry, now on the "rubber gun squad," may soon be available.
I'm more worried about the rubber room squad in charge of 'our' govt.
General Dynamics or Olin Ordnance once experimented with 10 gauge shotgun shells loaded with DU penetrators.
Too bad they didn't go down to 12 gauge 3.5" ultramag, something everybody can enjoy.
His name is Robert Paulson
I was in Palestine in December and trust me, “Less Lethal Specialty Munitions” are no fun. Being with children as they were tear gassed and hit with flash bang grenades and the occasional rubber bullet (a lead ball coated in rubber actually) was not what I'd call a benign experience. That DHS is embracing Israeli military methods is no coincidence. The two countries want nothing more than to subjugate "their" people into 100% compliance by any means possible including the use of "less lethal" weapons.
Rubicon, where did you post the pictures/ vids of yourself and the children getting bombarded with that? I would like to see that. Normally the Pali's carry the children in front don't they..
@calmyourself - You've bought into the media's narrative which is unfortunate. You want photos and stories - start here.
Mohammed Omer ? @Mogaza · 19h 19 hours ago every few seconds another blast in #Egyptian #Rafah. I hear massive bombings now!
https://twitter.com/mogaza
I never knew what evil reaslly was until I visited 'The Holy Land." Unbeleivable what the Pali's have to endure. BTW, there are many Christian Pali's that are being screwed, for those that dont know.
I went all the way through, one picture of a soldier aiming a teargas gun and no 2nd picture shopwing what he is aiming at.. Always the one sided pic, little kid with a backpack, then soldier with gun compeltely unrelated but emotional...
Fact based here show me the soldier shooting the child I will donate money.. Not the staged photo series of a few years back...
Are these the same palitrashian kids whose parents have rejected statehood in favor of genocide? The Izzy's are too kind, if it we me I would drop big momma thump arty on all their heads. Yours too if you were stupid enough to be in the area.

So anyone who kills your family and steals your land ought to be sure to kill you as well. Check.
No, it is not a coincidence.
Operation SWORD.
This will not end well for some amped up boot stomper cops family getting drug out by their short hairs and beat in the front lawn by a less than lethal M-55 Bitch Slapper while he is out on the mean streets shooting his fellow man. They need to start picking sides pronto.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ? Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
it's about time protestors started attending riots with AR15s and Glocks.... that will change the picture considerably...
There is a DAMN good reason the word "than" was taken out of "Less Than Lethal"
There will be the inevitable death from this kind of force. But with the world than taken out....family members of the deceased will have no right to sue the goverment or the munitions manufacturer because the implication will now be that lethality is still a possibility. Language that includes the word than would imply that the munition should not kill when used properly....or designed properly. Which of course would open up lawsuits.
Weasel lawyer language to cover the asses of government and manufacturers. Nice.
The plan is to keep you from leaving the ussa
They shoot 40mm sponges, we'll shoot 1oz slugs.
That's the Chicago way!
Less than lethal only works for the Police State
when the serfs DON'T have M4's loaded with 62gr M855 5.56x45mm green tips.
Oh pleeeez..
That's a way over rated round anyway

What do you think of .22TCM ?
Looks zippy and fun, but don't expect to be able to resupply it when things get dicey.
I'm a big fan of necked down pistol cartridges myself.

W Bush signed in "Homeland Insecurity", and don't you forget it. Mafia owned and operated.
It amazes me to read this cap evry day . What happened to the " the land of the Free ?" It shoudl be renamed " The Land of the Slaves " !
Land of the fee, and home of the slaves.
Land of the home, free of the brave.
Monetized bitch. TARP ripped your country apart. When the rich dont have to follow silly laws do you think the poor will?
the land of slaves and the masters
My friend, America was never a 'free state', that is but a myth.
Your 'Founding Fathers', your military, political leadership in the revolutionary were Elites themselves; they wanted to Lord themselves over their current countrymen as much as the English Nobility was Lording over them. They were all slave owners; in fact Thomas Jefferson (who mated with his own slaves) stopped the slave trade, their importation to America in 1808; this was was not a moral law but was essentially a trade barrier to aid his own state, Virginia, economically. Virginia was by far the most vibrant economic state at that time and had huge inventories of bred slaves. By cutting off the international slave trade, other Americans needing slaves for their expanding plantations had to purchase their slaves from Virginia.
It was a miracle that the Revoution succeeded. The rebels got lucky. The very able Hessian mercenaries would have whipped the American army early in the campaign, but they were not paid by the English crown and so , basically, they ' worked to rule'-with low morale they were ineffective. Without the French navy and their leadership, especially Lafeyette, the uprising would have been crushed. The rebel leadership was exceptionally crafty and intelligent-the founding fathers were probably some of the best minds in one place since Periclean Greece (c. 450 BC). Most of them knew their Latin, some of them knew their Greek too. A real contrast to the monkeys leading America today.
Anyways, what they did was extraordinary , a fluke, probably never to occur again for hundreds of years.
Today, especially in the the US, everyone is a slave with about 10,000 or so (percentage?) that have Get Out of Jail Free cards. With their technolgy, Fascist laws, bought and paid for politicians, comprehensive spying,unlimited artillery, ammunition, non educated dummies for citizens , sufficient bread and circuses (EBT's, iGagerty,Kardashians, sports teams) the chances that Americans can successfully rebel against the 'man' are exactly 'nil'.
they wanted to Lord themselves over their current countrymen as much as the English Nobility was Lording over them...
No. SOME of them (Morris, Hamilton, etc.) did this - that is true. But not all.
As for Jefferson, the story is slanderized: More or less true, but interpreted in the worst ways.
And you do not understand humanity and why the cycle always repeats.
To ignore and be absent in the face of evil, is to allow and even endorse the evil to occur.
One bad, rotten fruit, spoils the bunch. It does not matter that you did not participate. In absence, you did participate by letting the rot grow. If you were a farmer or even a gardner, you would know the basics of that.
Yeah .... I'd say someone's been reading his Liberalized revisionist history .....
Gotta love the "rebels ain't got a chance" crowd. Aparently none of them have ever shouldered a rifle in an unfriendly land and understand nothing about tactics. Try locking down an entire country where the majority of people are armed and let me know how that works out for ya.
Yup.
This is the typical Howard Zinn revisionist "history" so fashionable in schools today.
I am an extreme conservative which shows you know very little. I am extremely anti government. And if you have followed my posts, you would know I blame government over banking for most of our problems.
I am speaking to reality which you aren't.
While you state about an entire country where the majority of people are armed, can you state with fact how many of those people are prepared for gorilla warfare? For example, let's look at the population of senior citizens. Are they prepared to fight in the streets? Do they have long arm capability or do they have a simple revolver for self defense? There is a big difference. Did you know there are over 40 million senior citizens. Do I also need to mention that the majority of them are drug dependent and also medicare/SS dependent? How many of the other segments you depend upon for your facts aren't really battle ready? Is that soccer mom with a pea shooter in her purse part of your numbers? How many of middle class are ready to fight? I can see that IT computer nerd saving you now.
You don't send men into war to invade with a pea shooter. You send them in with the arms to kill enemies at long distances - you give them rifles with the back up of bombs.
Is all lost? No. But it will be OUR sacrifice. We will die for the next generations. That will our burden to bear for allowing this monstrosity to grow as it has. I won't endorse or make a silly post that suggest that in a few years the establishment will fall, all wrongs will be righted, the corrupt will be punished, the people will finally be free just because of a reset. That sounds more like God's job and I am just one man.
Judging from the new set of "Planet of the Apes" movies, apparently no one is trained to overcome gorilla warfare.
That is why drones were invented
The dollar is going Bye/Bye. Prepare now! Convert extra cash into PM's or other Hard assets. A store of food/water source is a must also.
I seriously doubt it. It hasn't even surpassed its 2001 peak.
If you haven't figured it out, which I surmise from your post. The dollar continues to rally forcing the weaker hands of those that committed to much to PMs and other hard assets to sell.
Mass unemployment, much more then we have right now. Even those that think they are somewhat prepared, including myself, get caught off guard. All of a sudden even these preppers can't pay their bills. Yea, they got food, guns, ammo and PMs like I do, but they can't pay their bills.
Government comes after you for taxes whether it is income or property or whatever made up tax or just because they label you a terrorist. You get in a fire fight against larger numbers with stronger fire power and you die. Government confiscates your guns, ammo, food and PMs.
Dollar only dies when the US military can't defend its homeland and interests from foriegn nations which is yet to be seen. Yes, we see many rumblings of a new world currency and new world bank. But it has yet to manifest itself into a real face to face confrontation. Right now its all a bunch of side bets like the Ukraine or Greece or whatever. It will happen, but it is years from now in my opinion.
Right now, deflation will run its course and force this eventual collapse you are prepping for. Frankly, I wish to be on an empty island and wish the world to fuck itself without me.
Good prediction, but still a prediction.
Not knowing what to get ready for but still getting ready is a bitch. I suspect you are doing what you can, as well. There are very few islands and we are not in that club either.
Yup,
And let's examine most of my predictions thus far.
Most commodities will go down. +
The dollar willl rise +
Deflation +
And those predictions were about a year or so before it happened. I have even gone as far as predicted that beef would top this year (because it is grabbing headlines and people are bitching about it as though they have a right to beef). I and mention beef because I battled inflationist that just didn't get it. So now they grab beef as their last hope. It's kind of like when I debated against peak oil and global warming. They take a single story to explain their entire theory and disregard the overwhelming facts around them.
At the same time I also stated I do hold some PMs. I do hold ammo. I also own severl firearms. But I am being realistic about what I can do with those assets. Despite my ammo and rifles and pistols, I can't hold off a government swat team. Be real.
The only thing I have had to come close to apologize for is not agreeing that PMs were being manipulated. And I admitted I may have been wrong on that. Other then that, I have been about 100% correct.
Deflation in no way (ironically) argues against hyperinflation. Hyperinflation often follow deflation as the response of the printer to overvaluation of a purely symbolic fiat currency.
Yea, and a study was done, admittedly by CATO and you know what common denominator I discovered. None of those 56 recorded incidences of hyperinflation (including Weimar or Zimbabwe that inflationist LOVE to mention) were world currency reserves.
In other words, hyperinflation occurred in specific places because of certain imbalances they had in relevance to the rest of the world.
But in instances of a dominate currency or world reserve, something different happened. Which was...
The world currency rallied and grew in strength as long as that nation could defend it militarily. So did it happen with the Romans, thus it will happen to us. Once that military dominance peaked, thus so did its currency. Pure logic.
Here is a reference to that study.

Note to self: be sure to look for sessinpo's comments the next time AGW comes up. Overwhelming facts? There is a mountain of data surrounding the theory of AGW and there is very very high confidence the patterns in that data are being interpreted correctly.
Inflation, deflation, biflation. . .
Whatever. Having insurance in the form of PMs is never going to be a bad idea - especially at these firesale prices.
Please name US Military weapons systems that do NOT have Chinese made electronic components.
Game.
Set.
Match.
And what would matter if you master is a slanty eyed china man or an european or american? They are are all NWO despite their ethnicity. Maybe you prefer Obama's Iranian negotiations. Does it matter anymore? Yea, your are right, game set match. You lost.
The clowns in uniforms , stick out way more than the clowns with rainbow Afros. Did they learn nothing from 1776 and The Redcoats.
They shoulda dressed up as LEA, and then rampage.
Shoulda made for fun results, when you can't tell them apart. Except that one side is carrying weapons and the other isn't.
Next time they should carry pepper spray, tasers and flashbangs themselves -- for purely defensive purposes, of course, like any civilian can.
Please show up with rubber bullets.
Eventually these "couldn't cut it in the real military" types will come to grips with the fact that being the authority figure means being the target too.
If you want it to stop you'll have to arrest Lloyd Blankfein, Jamie Dimon and begin replacing the Central Banks with a publicly owned and operated monetary system.
Its up to you because I sure as hell ain't going to do it.
Arrest?
So what, the Rothschild dynasty can hire more henchmen?
When you have 0% GDP, this is just one of the results.
Don't forget about the riot yesterday at a Resorts World Casino in Queens. Apparently, the lines at a new daiquiri bar were long... and a riot ensued.

Anger over a daiquiri line. Imagine if EBT cards stopped working.
I saw lots of Obama's sons if he had a son
They were bored and needed something to do. They were turing their lives around. They were all good biys and girls

DHS founded by dual citizen Michael Chertoff is the new gestapo, modeled after the old gestapo. It just isn't obvious to everyone yet.
Odd. He looks like a twin of Oskar Dirlewanger. Must be the whole death-cult thingy.
Dual Citizen Chertoff is the son if an Israeli rabbi.
He was one of the architects of the New Pearl Harbor attacks which manufactured the political consent for DHS which had it's framework and implementation completed prior to the attacks [go figure].
The name Chertoff is a russian [bolshevik] name which means "son of the devil" in Russian.
Meet the New Bolsheviks.
Breaking down a door in the middle of the night near you soon.
Who knows if any of the WW2 narrative is true. Look at the lies and schemes that have been cooked up just in the past 20 years by the New Bolshevik demons. 9/11 and the tens of millions of civilians slaughtered in order to bring in the greater israel fairy tale. Now they created ISIS to slaughter people in Syria and other middle east land that stands in the way of the fairy tale.
The Germans stood up to the Bolshevik cancer that was spreading and tried to stop it. The holohoax narrative is a crystal clear fraud for anyone with an above room temperature IQ. If the Germans, being as efficient as they are, had the intention of wiping out the jews, they would have done it. Period. The Red Cross documents show that approx. 200K jews died in the labor camps, most of starvation towards the end of the war when most of the Germans were also starving. All else is hollywood created fiction to reinforce the "need" for israel. All f'ing BS.
We were all lied to and bullshitted. I remember learning the WWII story when I was a kid. You're right. Learn just a little bit - and think your way through some things - and the whole story collapses. It's all bullshit. Obviously.
"Less lethal"...see they really do love & care about us! ;-)
less lethal ammunition makes it easier to identify your target and has the added bonus of being a soft target
These rounds should be replaced by simple frangible rounds that simply explode and spray the perps with a dye and maybe pepper spray. You can also use sound cannons to run people off. The cops need to use "back-off" stuff and not these rubber bullets.
idiot
Also makes em a little more likely to let fly.
Pretty interesting. Once they piss off the academia population the NWO banksters will be totally fucked. The dinosaurs like Noam Chomsky will stop protecting the corporate oligarchs that have taken over America (through his disinformation about his "American Empire" not unlike Nial Fergunson's disinformation) and intelligence will rapidly move in to back the revolution against the banking system that is funding world terrorism and wars. Looks like it is finally happening. I sat in a class this week with 22-27 year old philosphy, mathematics, physics, English, chemistry majors at UCLA and shot the shit about the future. Very quickly the conversation focused on banksters and "algo trading." People are smarter than you think. What is most interesting in the class is that almost all of the students were of different nationalities. This will be a world revolution against the current monetary system.
"Once they piss off the academia population"
this is a joke right?
these equivocating toads will be the first to go.
ivory tower idiots.
One of my sons attends a very liberal school in the Midwest. A lot of his friends are Indian/Asian. Almost all of them know and discuss how all of this is going down. If there have been bright spots about any of this it is that a lot of youths are not blinded by a lot of the bullshit. They get it first hand as they watch peers struggle to find work.
This is the world they inherit.
My kids are that age too and they know the score, and so do their friends.
It's fun sport to bash the millenials but a lot of them are quite aware they've inherited a very sick world.
They are smart? Really? If they were, they would have been living somewhere else in the world. Pretty soon their asses will be drafted into the East Front.
Its difficult to get a sense of how widespread viewpoints like that are with how much our propaganda machine has grown, particularly in the last year or so. Its getting harder and harder to find articles and sources that youve read and know exist. Try finding an article on a reputable site about Obama acknowledging our involvement in Ukraine shortly before the democratically elected govt was overthrown.
Its small stuff too. I was having a conversation about Obama campaigning on supporting gay marriage in 2008 a while back and the person I was speaking with said that wasnt true so we googled it. In the end it turns out I was right, but it was extremely difficult to find anything because his PR team has pushed a story through all media channels that he was publicly against gay marriage back then for political reasons but it ate him up since he was truly a supporter. Anyone who was literate or followed the news in 2008 knows that isnt true but good luck citing your knowledge.
Its just like the great firewall of China and the tiananmen square. I can only hope the rank and file employees that were 'just following orders' get their fair share of the coming suffering.
I think you've got Chomsky wrong. The cheerleading this crap are outnumbered by those who see Obama for the fascist he is. But the corporate interests have taken control of the education industry like everything else, so guess which voices you hear in the (corporate-owned) media. Yes, it's those who support the oligarchs.
And you're absolutely right; the young people are seeing through all this shit.
We had bean bag and rubber bullets when I was LE. They can be quite lethal, so "less than lethal" is not very accurate. I guess it really means you have a less chance of being killed by one of these rounds. The bullets are actually deadly at close-range.
Best thing to do in a riot is GTFO of the area pronto. Some demonstrators are anarchists and some are police provocateurs. Run!
Wouldn't it be more fun to bait the provocateurs; they don't exactly blend.
WTF is wrong with anarchists? Are you too afraid to live life without some gubmint thugs gun to your head?
Anarchists screw it up into pieces for others to pick up and put back together.
Much like the system in power positions we have now.
It is no fun to just kill, you have to wound, then torture slowly with medication and the rest of the tool chest.
FEMA?
A good debt slave is a tax paying alive debt slave.
Xanax as CoIntelPro. ;)
Funny story about Montreal. Policemen wearing stickers protesting cuts to their ridiculously generous benefits were witnessed beating the shit out of anti-austerity protesters with their truncheons. Austerity, again, is only for people who can't kill or cripple other people with impunity.
Even by north American standards, Quebec cops are generally agreed to be shockingly thuggish. Trust me, any politician serious about austerity in Quebec would be taken out by Montreal's finest or the Sûreté du Québec in a heartbeat.
A direct shot to the chest or head will kill instantly.
Wear a helmet and vest.
I'd wear a cup too.
not seeing any austerity among the cops these days. driving $100K urban assault vehicles, packing another $100K worth of gear. when it gets to the urban guerrilla warfare stage those will be juicy targets.
Teasle: Are you telling me that 200 of our men against your boy is a no-win situation for us?
Trautman: You send that many, don't forget one thing.
Teasle: What?
Trautman: A good supply of body bags.
Of coirse not. The big men with guns are always exempt from austerity. If someone is crazy enough to try to take away their toys, someone gets pumped full of bullets. In public.
That's why the bankers have governments over a barrel. Standing armies require large amounts of regular pay to keep around and loyal.
And since cops are crooked as a dog's hind leg, they get along with banksters just fine.
They even *sniff* have some of *sniff* the same *sniff* hobbies.
But...in the book he died. Ah...HOLLYWOOD!
Such a shame dying empires cannot accept their fate.
they will take as many down with them before they realize it's too late.

I can give you such photos about France, Finland or Norway. You need go away from main europian roads.
Best country in the Earth - USA and you can go to Detroit.
Please show me a city in Finland or Norway where whole city is garbage. Are you saying Russian cities are on same level as in Finland and Norway?
Can you go to the RUSSIA thread please? This is totally irrelevant.

This crap will do it's job of "stimulating the economy" (read funneling money into their buddies pockets), then most of it will be shipped to govt warehouses, where it will sit for a time, before being donated to foreign govts.
It's how they sneak tax dollars from the middle class to the rich.
Correction:
... before being donated to foreign jihadis that work for the CIA.
I'm all for the police using more lethal force. Because the radical communist democrats protesting every lie they can dream up, need to wake up and smell the coffee and start acting like normal productive tax paying respectful citizens.
As a card carrying member of the free shit army I just want to know if that coffee you speak of is free? I am very unrespectful of law and order and I only pay sales taxes but I am awake, mostly.
"Radical communist democrats?"
Oh, wait. I read the rest of your comment now. The sarcasm is obvious, even though I missed it the first time.
