Of course Marxist media mouthpiece Ed Schultz suggests to a self admitted Socialist US Senator, Bernie Sanders (S-VT) on live TV covering the Ferguson, MO protests/riots. There's your dose of corporate Marxist media propaganda through the airwaves by a polarizing/inciting pundit, as long as they are not "Progressives" it's fine to militarize American cops to quoting Schultz, "Even The Playing Field". Then a double-down hypocritical statement by Bernie Sanders,
"We need police to have the tools to combat these threats(very well armed Americans). But on the other hand, I do not think we need, tanks and heavy military looking equipment in 'Low Income Communities in America." :rolleyes: Pretty demented eh?


Apparently, Schultz thinks it’s perfectly reasonable for heavily armed police to use armored vehicles and military weapons against some Americans, so long as their political opinions can be skewed as “anti-government.”
PS: Give some love to the site, that works hard exposing the dirty laundry and corruption of Washington DC.

Here's the exchange between Ed Schultz and Bernie Sanders

MSNBC Host: Maybe Cops Need Military Gear to Deal with “Anti-Government” Groups

Posted on August 19, 2014 (http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/08/19/msnbc-host-maybe-cops-need-military-gear-deal-anti-government-groups/) by Paul Joseph Watson (http://www.dcclothesline.com/author/paul-joseph-watson/)
Ed Schultz perfectly happy for militarized law enforcement to target non-liberals

MSNBC (http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/03/29/msnbc-defends-state-senator-told-gun-rights-activist-go-fk/) host Ed Schultz suggested on his show last night that police like those currently occupying Ferguson (http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/08/14/get-ready-military-occupation-ferguson-just-preview-coming/), Missouri may need military gear (http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/07/01/militarization-police-gotten-control-captured-attention-msm/) in order to deal with the threat posed by “anti-government groups.”


“The Department of Homeland Security recently came out with a report saying the biggest threat to our security is here within our own borders,” said Schultz, adding, “There’s a lot of anti-government groups that have popped up in this country, hate groups that have popped up in this country, and law enforcement feels outgunned and they want to be prepared,”

The MSNBC (http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/07/06/msnbc-shocker-nearly-9-10-support-constitutional-carry/) host went on to suggest that it was the use of militarized equipment (http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/08/13/ex-marine-warns-terrifying-militarized-occupation-american-cities/) that was the issue, not a question of whether police departments should possess it in the first place.”



Apparently, Schultz thinks it’s perfectly reasonable for heavily armed police to use armored vehicles and military weapons against some Americans, so long as their political opinions can be skewed as “anti-government.”



“Did you catch that? If not, allow me to summarize: The police are too militarized and as a result are unfairly and unjustly using their unnecessary power to harm black people. But wait, could they actually need this stuff because of people who don’t trust the police?” writes Caleb Howe. (http://therightscoop.com/when-you-absolutely-positively-have-to-blame-the-tea-party-every-night/)

Schultz’s reference to the DHS report relates to a leaked document (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/08/14/Document-Homeland-Security-Predicts-Rise-of-Anti-Government-Violence) from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis which predicted a rise in “anti-government violence over the next year.”



The report notes that a “perceived victory (http://www.dcclothesline.com/2014/04/12/victory-federal-agents-flee-bunkerville-citing-safety-concerns-armed-citizen-militia-stands/)” during the Bunkerville standoff involving Cliven Bundy has emboldened such extremists, who will continue to cite “government overreach and oppression” as an excuse to stage “more violence.”



Schultz’ myopic comments again expose the hypocrisy of the left-right paradigm. Both sides of the partisan persuasion are only concerned about police brutality and the militarization of domestic law enforcement when it is used to target people who embrace their political dogma, when the sensible response would be to realize that the constitutional rights of people from all over the political map are simultaneously being oppressed.

Bernie Sanders is screwed up as well. I'm kinda glad he's scared. We're making progress.

I am left wondering if the ferguson police would have handled things differently --and the crowd behaved differently-- if the peaceful protestors in Ferguson had all been open carrying weapons, legally.

Shoot first, ask questions later.

(eventually, though, this is going to happen. It'll be a second Boston Massacre. Only on an industrial scale.)

Black people with guns? They would have all been shot or detained.

Pushing the SPLC hate-propaganda... does Schultz get an extra bonus check from DHS via Mark Potok for that?

It's happened before. There was no bloodbath.

Different times, back then, I'm afraid. Now, the police are heavily militarized and officer safety is paramount to any other law. If one of them even became the least bit concerned, bullets would start to fly.

On the other side, many of the people in the community in question would be likely to provoke a confrontation. All it would take would be one spark - and there are those who would like to see that spark ignite.

You might get the police to back off out west, but it's doubtful they'd do that in the city.

That would be like when the National Guard opened fire on white college kids at Kent State...

Even the playing field? It's already slanted heavily in the government's favor.

Some police depts. have .50 caliber fully automatic machine guns. The vast majority of civilians have semi-autos. And that's just in terms of armament.
