SWAT Troops against an Army of Grandmas.


And what fine, Republican music they were singing, too.

I am given to understand that the video below was the result of local police in Illinois being overruled by the Feds. Whether true or not, this is still so pathetic that it just makes me kind of sad:

You know, I remember a day when we had a President who wasn’t fundamentally afraid of the American people, and so do you.

Picture of vicious counter-revolutionary agents requiring a full riot gear-equipped police presence after the fold.

Grow either up, or a spine, Mr. President.  Just do either one quickly; the rest of the world is taking notes.

Let me state the obvious

NickDeringer (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 12:38AM EDT (link)

If GWB had done this the MSM would be screeching like a couple of cats stuck in a clothes drier.

 

So... Where were the riot police at the AZ protests?

TNJim (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 12:50AM EDT (link)

Where were the cops dressed in riot gear putting down real violence by leftists? Admittedly, they may have been there, but I just haven’t seen any pictures. videos, or read any MSM reports of that. It’s really a shame when riot police are called in over folks singing pariotic songs but bottle throwers protesting a “misguided” bill are passed over.

Again, I may have missed the reports on cops putting down said violence, but even if I have, it really is a shame riot cops are called in in advance to quell “possible violence” at a presidential appearance. Then again, Granny can get awfully agitated when the grandkids’ future is put at risk by nearly every single piece of legislation this President is pushing. So agitated she may start belting out a few choruses of “God Bless America”!

Horrors!

This is so pathetic…
can’t call a terrorist a terrorist
but oh no Granny is quite a threat…

Maybe he cannot quite wait for Obummer care and is going to allow Granny to be killed another way, and leave his hands clean

This man loves chaos, turning American against American

gee what is going to happen when the REAL enemy of this country is at our doorstep, for all we know he is already here.

The administration's prejudice meets reality

1689 Thursday, April 29th at 1:17AM EDT (link)

Perhaps the life-experiences of the President and his appointees tell them that when jack-booted riot cops confront protesters (in their experience, liberal eco-nuts, anarchists, weather underground and black-panther types), there is always anger, confrontation, bottle throwing, burning cars and violence. What a shock it must be for him, the czars, the ivy-league book-intellectuals to have ordinary middle-class moms & dads from flyover country peacfully walking, waiving their flags, and singing songs by Julia Ward Howe (the Madonna of her time), from the civil war era. Good thing those cops had their batons and Sig Sauers ready to pump granny in case she got worked into a tizzy…. Or perhaps they were hoping an Alyskyite would start an incident, which they could blame on those vicious teabaggers. Doesn’t matter. 6 months left democrats!

Mine eyes have seen the glory of coming of the Lord.
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword.
His truth is marching on!

Glory, Glory Hallelujah!
Glory Glory Hallelujah!
Glory Glory Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on!
….
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As he died to make men holy, let us live to make men free;
While God is marching on!

Glory, Glory Hallelujah!
Glory Glory Hallelujah!
Glory Glory Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on!

 

If this doesnt bother those who read the story

Paul Seale (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 1:53AM EDT (link)

Then there is something seriously wrong with the reader.

I cannot express how concerned I am over this. How easy would it be for whom ever gave the order to deploy the SWAT team to next arrest the protesters – and for what?

Where the protesters acting unlawfully, or were they just a sore sight and something the type of window dressing the President and his advisors wanted?

In any case, this example should be a red flag about where our nation is going and what is happening under its current leadership.

November cant come fast enough (provided those in Congress dont cave and pass bills which would replace mad as hell voters with new ones via Puerto Rico and or illegal immigration).

Isn't THIS what John Lewis should be worried about

For all the talk of being smart on this and that, doesn’t the job really come down to how you use your smarts to make judgements?

This has to be an example of Obama’s ability to make judgements.

He may be smart, but a poor judge of reality.

Obama is channeling Carter again

henryrearden Thursday, April 29th at 3:34AM EDT (link)

Isn’t this just like Jimmy Carter having a panic attack when he said he was threatened . . . by a rabbit?

Obama ought to thank God in his prayers tonight that there was no mishap or accidental shooting of someone’s grandma.

Shouldn’t Homeland Security be protecting Americans from this unstable paranoid president?

I think there is a simple everyday American phrase to describe the 0bama administration – “The toilet is backed up!”

The_Gadfly (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 5:08PM EDT (link)

I was still a kid in school back then and the local morning DJs had no end of fun with the rabbit incident. I actually managed to record their skit on cassette tape at the time and can still hear it in my head.

“Next up, a new tune by Jimmy Carter and The Capital Hill Gang…”

[white rap style, sans swearing]

“Hip, hop, hip, hop. The ferocious rabbit goes hippity-hop, and I am sittin in an open boat, in danger for my life ’till the rifle goes pop…”

“So far you’ve heard my voice, but I’ve brought a friend along, next on the mike is Richard Nixon,…”

If only it were as easy to laugh about the current WH occupant.

 
 

Are we sure this wasn't an ill-timed training exercise?

SoFiMil (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 7:14AM EDT (link)

It may be. Still, I can’t imagine the SWAT being that dense to not cancel a scheduled training because of the appearance it may give.

marshmom (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 9:29AM EDT (link)

He’s trying his best to push the tea party over the edge to do something, ANYTHING, violent so he can have the authority to shut us down and the media will have their “proof”.
After all, his buddies like Bill Ayers would’ve been throwing bombs and cackling like a demon.
He doesn’t understand us and people truly do fear what they don’t know.
Good try, Obama, but you and your elitist friends have no idea what you’re up against and we’re smart enough to know that violence is not the answer.

They keep pushing

Raven (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 10:56AM EDT (link)

They’ll get what they want. But then it’ll be suddenly more than they can handle. They have no idea how terrible the giant they are poking can be. They never learned those parts of history.

Did anyone think to...

Charles Cianfrocca (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 9:45AM EDT (link)

…photograph every one of their faces? For the record, I mean?

Sure, I understand they were just following orders. But at some point, all our lives may depend on people like the police NOT following orders to, say, gun us all down in the street. Who thinks there won’t eventually be a regime ordered massacre, just for disciplinary reasons?

The police should be reminded that “I was just following orders” didn’t work in Europe 60 years ago, and it won’t work again. The citizens will eventually win against the regime, and there will be justice. The police, like everyone, will have to be on one side or the other, and be held accountable for their choices. Better they know sooner rather than later.

Officers as political tools

txgho1911 Thursday, April 29th at 10:06AM EDT (link)

Maybe it would have been better if the swat team showed up in marked T-shirts and hauling the riot gear in the big duffel bag that have for that purpose.
They could have participated in a positive manner rather than feeding the Troll King.

 

Comrade Obama isn't likely to go to any place not controlled by Democrats,

Achance (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 10:19AM EDT (link)

so the leadership cohort of the law enforcement agency will be just as corrupt as he and his are. I’ll guarantee you that the officers would give the order to fire on grandma. The question is whether the men will follow that order and I suspect they would at first. If it became some sort of general disorder, the men would start thinking about it and some might leave their jobs or refuse to follow orders, but it would take awhile. The calculus on the Left would be that killing a few grannies would keep everybody else off the street. They’re one-trick ponies and they remember the chilling effect that Kent State had on the Left and would presume that a few bodies would dissuade Tea Partiers and similar protesters against the regime. They’re probably right that lots of people would decide that it isn’t worth it to get shot for carrying signs and singing songs, but some of those people might decide that it is time to take more direct action.

The problem on the Right then becomes showing mass support for those who engage in direct action against the regime. Comrade Obama will follow the WJC playbook and try to isolate and marginalize them so that the mass will consider it a good thing when one of his Stelnikov’s kills them. The best thing is to make sure that nobody on the Right rises to the provocation so that if some wannabe Strelnikov opens fire on a peaceful assembly it is clearly murder and the outrage has to be massive. If anyone on the Right or who can be characterized as being from the Right engages in any form of violence, Comrade Obama’s regime will declare war on them and do it with a lot of public support.

I don’t believe it. I think it is crazy. In fact, I think this entire comment is deranged.

If what you’re saying is that you don’t think it can happen HERE, …well, we’ll see, I suppose. But sending riot police to bother little old ladies doesn’t seem like a promising ante.

actually what I'm saying

streiff (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 3:56PM EDT (link)

is your comment is not helpful on a whole lot of levels.

Things have happened here. The Pullman Strikes, Ludlow Massacre, Blair Mountain, Kent State, Jackson State, and some would add Waco and Ruby Ridge. Anytime you have a political entity with police power abuses can happen. But this administration isn’t going to shoot people down in the streets for no other reason than they couldn’t arrive at a decision to do so.

“What keeps me here is the reek of beer, the ladies and the craic”

OK...

Charles Cianfrocca (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 4:04PM EDT (link)

“this administration isn’t going to shoot people down in the streets for no other reason than they couldn’t arrive at a decision to do so.”

There’s a division by zero in there somewhere, I think, but regardless of that, I guess you just have a lot more confidence in Zero’s basic decency than I do. For my money, anyone who would send heavily armed and armored goons to intimidate blue-haired grandmothers is not someone I would put a lot past.

The road is already littered with the figurative bodies of people who thought PBO would stop before he got to them.

Your mileage may vary, of course. Carry on.

just to clarify

streiff (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 4:10PM EDT (link)

1. I didn’t evince confidence in the administration’s decency, only in their incompetence.

2. This was an overreaction by some functionary. It happens. There were no arrests and no shootings.

“What keeps me here is the reek of beer, the ladies and the craic”

well, point by point...

Charles Cianfrocca (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 4:22PM EDT (link)

1) that level of foolishness, with heavily armed goons, is a hell of an accident waiting to happen, and

2) They were old ladies. Add you need to add to the mix is one slightly smart-mouthed young person (not many of THOSE around…), et voilá – blood in the streets.

I don’t think it wiill take as much as you apparently do.

And no, GB doesn’t stand for “George Bush”. It stands for “Gordon Brown”.

At the end of the video, there DOES seem to be a radical granny in the middle of the street. But I guess in Barack’s superior judgement, even 70 yearold vets and little old ladies COULD be a threat.
Actually , I feel bad for the cops. They must have felt like chumps. So 3 Cheers to the police, they deserve better.

The fact that they would do this says so much about their future intentions.

anotherindyfilmguy (Diary) Thursday, April 29th at 6:53PM EDT (link)

Mockable as it is, this incident says two things about the left:

They are deathly afraid that any sort of protest could lead to violence against them (a sort of projection on their enemies of their own intent) or that protesters against them should be intimidated.

The other is that they are either utterly incompetent or have evil intentions down the road. It doesn’t matter which it is, either is bad enough to warrant removing them from power.

Ok, that’s three things…
