Absolutely not! The 'rioters' were reveling in the great, elusive victory... no one (as in NO ONE) would've be hurt, hadn't the cops strutted in there and started using rough tactics. That girl (an innocent bystander) would still be alive, in class perhaps, if they cops hadn't come. The cops shot other people too; some people were climbing onto the scaffolding outside of Fenway. The cops shot them, and at least one fell over and almost died because of that! The cops shouldn't have taken any action. Their presence alone was a deterrence, their murdering that poor girl was a crime against humanity. I hope that the cops who did it are fired and castrated.
how do you think the poor Homeless people feel after you trashed their house.
... :shake:
The homeless thing was a joke ! I realize ive been mentaly out of it for quite a while now but you take everything so seriously as if I meant for real...
or was that smiley thing part of your humouress respounce?
I did not know the full story on that ! If you use the word "Rioters" I will assume there was a riot. When you got a mass crowd of nuts people it can turn into a riot in seconds especially with drunk or high people dancing around getting others angry or having some people decide to celebrate by trashing a car or smashing things.
In canada this year at the stanley cop finales calgary had a simular event except unlike the "Boston police" the Mounties just watched and observed and even cheered along the fans to try to keep it cool fun and not deadly.
Boston probaily is a much more crime ridden city then calgary which is in the richest province in canada, But the mounties di everything right the crowd was huge that a few streets had to be closed to traffic the mounties did everything Boston police didnt at this event , Calgarys experience and Bostons are almost mirrors with alternate endings.
Now if the cops got to agressive and were what set it off when there was nothing major happening to require it, Then yah they were idiots.It was unprofessional and if the guy is just shooting out of annoyance then the police department needs to be corrected and deciplined or even do some firing and at worse jailing.
If I were boston id hire the mounties to train the Boston police, There is no shame the mounties are the oldest organize policing force in north america , They always performed well on average even in the toughest situations "world summits" and Drunken university riots and whacky sports fan gatherings" .
or maybe I am a little bias since my grand father was a mounty as was his father this generation is the only absent of a mounty or even regular cop.
