Good Grief

Protecting the public from dangerous protesters. Geriatric protesters are THE WORST. "Be on the lookout for an insurrectionist with blue hair".

Must support "the narrative".

Ace:
It strikes me as odd, however, that a day after the left is embarrassed to have the riot police called on those "mostly peaceful" bottle-throwing barricade-overrunning immigration protesters, the media suddenly gets the optics of "See, riot police were called on the Tea Partiers, too."

Of course, the optics created are not the optics intended.

The message seems to be that there are privileged points of view and unprivileged points of view. And the privileged speakers get to have riots, and the unprivileged get the threat of having their heads busted in for daring to wave a flag.

Meanwhile... "We will use our pick-axes and our shovels against you! Believe that!"
