Handy hint for protestors: if you go to hicksville to protest the police and the local Sheriff looks like this guy, it would probably be a good idea to turn your ass around and call it a day. [ Linked Image]

Quotes from Matewan. BTW, it was filmed at Thurmond WV.
Older Baldwin-Felts man: Ever hear of the Hatfields and McCoys, son? Young Baldwin-Felts man: Heh. Sure I have have. Older Baldwin-Felts man: This here Matewan's their stompin' ground. They'll put a bullet in your brain just as soon as look at you. Owned by the NPS. Great day trip.

I've got to get there sometime, Phelps is as far as I've been and have never stepped foot in Kentucky even though I've lived within 60-70 mile all of my life.

[quote=mark shubert]“We absolutely discourage that,” Bennett said Monday. “It is imperative to allow police to do their jobs.”
The problem is that, in some places, the police are not (or are not permitted to) doing their jobs. Like those anti-protestors - I respect the right to PEACEFULLY protest - but, violence breeds (sometimes necessary) violence. From what I have observed, the police are all about control. In the academy they are taught the first thing you do is take control of the situation. I think that is a necessary part of dealing with people in a small group. That is why they show up with overwhelming force. In the case of a protest, peaceful or otherwise, the police may very well be outnumbered and they know they can easily loose control. That is why the first option is to disperse the crowd. In the case of a confrontation between two armed factions, the police get very nervous because they can quickly become targets or irrelevant. They are also under ROE from their superiors which are often based on political objectives, not public safety or officer's safety. Tough situation and often there is no right decision. They don't look to be in control of jack shixt at the moment. [/quote Totally agree and they don't know what to do.
