Even if it was "30 on 2" - who are the supposed to be the "authorities"? Until there's actual overwhelming violence to retreat from, they claim to be. I don't know if there were more or less than 30 people were standing around the 1 cop kneeling on the neck and the other cop standing by, but it shouldn't matter if they are legitimate - which obviously neither case, nor the institution is.

I don't mean to dissect you, but your statement. I often lapse in to the programmed groupthink mindset and slap my forehead but appreciate it when folks point it out - not just for me but for all the readers and lurkers too.

Full disclosure: I haven't delved into that particular ongoing regional crisis, intentionally. I'm kind of in stall/procrastination/vacay mellow mode. Focusing on the CSS was good half pulling me out of my news addiction. Aside from the remaining issues I can't get past I think the Ergonomix is done, finally, for good. I still have much left do on SadItron to get it on par. Then some banners and 40+ applications of them, and then I can really focus on my story for September.
