    The Minneapolis police union boss is the guy in the right in this photo:

    ....he’s a member of a biker gang and has picked fights with reporters who interview him. One of the biggest pricks you could imagine. He’s been unusually silent this time around.

    So over the last month I've been working with police on the quarantining of arrivals into Australia. Couple of them were mounted cops and they told me some cool stuff. They have these hardened rubber running shoes for the horses that mean they can go anywhere without slipping. As far as riots go as has been mentioned they use them a lot in brawls and the like, just ride the horse striaght between two people and it's instantly broken up. They used them during the Cronulla riots in 2005 as far as I'm aware to great effect.

    Fair enough. After seeing that garbage in NY and the horse being attacked, I’ve been dead against cops using them. I like the animals, they have nothing to guard them against whatever is thrown at them. The time I usually see them is powder keg situations when people start throwing shit.

    Ultimately what they need to do is have it so people don’t want to throw shit anymore, and no need to bring out cavalry.

    And like I said before, they make great photo-ops:

    ...yes, that is a leash. The charge was trespassing.

    Not sure if it's too soon or not, but maybe instead of using horses in Australia you should figure out a way to train some Emu's! I've heard they are bulletproof.

    I’m not sure what’s in store, but an ocean of people are forming near the Viking’s stadium before dark. I have no clue how peaceful it will be. It’s Friday, people no doubt have come in from everywhere now.

    They are there to defy the curfew. Many are stating that in the live feed. Granted they have deployed hundreds of national guard, they are mostly there to assist/protect firefighters. The state police are now the riot patrol because city cops were being attacked on sight.

    They also slice your belly open with their raptor talon. Johnny Cash almost bit it this way from their cousin an ostrich.

    I bet heads rolled, and there were profuse apologies and the police department was investigated, retrained and.... nope that didn’t happen. Instead they said in the future they will think twice before reenacting scenes from “Rosewood”.

    Emus have the most absolutely horrified expression on their face, like my grandfather when he talked about watching his friends being blown up. That alone should scare you away, no need for violence.

    And that dance of theirs is hysterical. Laugh your enemies into submission.

    Yeah Atlanta doesn’t look good at all. At least from what I’ve seen this is worse than any riots outside the la riots. And all it’s gonna take it one cop with an itchy trigger finger to really set this off.
