look at some of the comments from a cross section of yahoo users, and keep in mind many times comments are usually pretty right wing-
"When injustice becomes law, rebellion becomes duty." Thomas Jefferson.
"While I may not understand fully why they are protesting, I'm a vet too and the fact that Oslen was injured is BS. The cops were aiming at people's head - we saw it on the TV coverage last night."
"this was NO riot,,nothing was on fire ,no one was looting stores or robbing.. so serve your country to have the right to peacefully assemble and have the police kill? or mame for life."
"How sad that our Government preaches to the Middle East country's to rise up for their rights and to protest against their governments aggressive behavior, their greed etc. But you sure better NOT do it here in the United States or they'll arrest you even if you're peaceful protesting."
"If the rioters were armed I'd understand. Armless? Its total #$%$ & the police need to be held accountable! If you attacked a policeman, it would be a capital crime!"
and on and on and on...
you think a bunch of Marines might descend upon the heads of these fucking cops?
this has shitstorm potential written all over it...
