A paramilitary group that we like to call the police shot smoke grenades at protesters legally protesting as there first amendment allows them to.

If those losers in paramilitary kit thought they were under threat they wouldn't be in a line btw. Literally one of the first things you learn not to do in the army.

Absolutely disgusting. These cowards are illegally shooting less lethal rounds at protestors who are exercising their constitutionally-protected right to Free Speech! Or, at least we're supposed to be protecting them...

You misspelled pigs. These are the people now getting trained by IDF in cop cities all across the country.
