Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

You'd care if you were there.  Are you capable of empathy?  Putting yourself in someone else's shoes?

Only reason I posted is that we discussed the dispute between whether they used tear gas or not.

Along with incredulous people asking 'do you believe the head of the Park Police, or idiot reporters?'

It seems that the Park Police response was "well tear gas, technically, is a term used to refer to CS and CN, and we didn't use either, so we can say we didn't use tear gas". But on the other hand, chemical irritants that cause eye tearing were used. They just weren't CS or CN. To people in that crowd, the combination of smoke grenades and chemical irritants would make many think they were being hit with tear gas.

Now the Park Police has to walk it back because their omission of what they DID use was, to put it mildly, deceptive.

but my point is that this is a little fly spec of the whole story
this is something media has way over blown to try to dig at Trump
they had burned the church and our Pres was making a "were still here" gesture
the protesters were asked repeatedly to move back and they refused

how they moved the crowd really is not of importance as long as no one was harmed which they werent

I know the church was burned the previous day and nobody knows how many of the protesters were the same but that doesnt matter

if POTUS wanted to go over to the church then hes should be free to do so

his purpose was to show America that despite all the violence taking place the spirit of America was still very much alive

If Obama had done this he would have been portrayed as a saint by the media

as Ive said previously the more the left trys to separate Trump from his base the strong his base becomes and this is no different

It can only be called tear gas if it comes from the Gaseux Region of France.

Otherwise it's just Sparkling Mass Repression at the Hands of the Police.
