    Yeah, the LA “riots” where super tame by riot AND LA standards. Like, they didn’t even have to bust out the water cannons. A skateboarder tanked some tear gas and flipped them off. It’s not like a bunch of people stormed the capitol building or something. This is the flimsiest excuse ever for martial law, so I have to assume it’s another step towards tyranny.

        that’s been done before. maybe next time a different nearby building of a similar color could be chosen.

      I think they’re using photos from other protests that make it seem more dramatic too.
