re: #372 Dark_Falcon
To answer the second, macing after netting is not automatic. It’s used when those being arrested remain combative. The nets themselves are used to more easily control detainees, and avoid officer injuries from a more individual process. The sight of part of a crowd being netted also scares other parts of the crowd and helps disperse it. It’s a dominance tactic.
And that is acceptable behavior by police in USA? I’d say no.
Yahoos is a thing I call protestors I don’t like.
Protesting against the culture of greed by large financial institutions arguably responsible for the decline of the American middle class seems honorable. If the protesters claims are wholly unfounded, then I would agree that yohooness can be applied. I guess I hold the belief that there are legitimate grievances that need to be addressed.
