Safe to say if you have to ask me what "terrorism" is, you probably are not on the same page....probably not even the same book

I wouldn't be so sure about that little guy.
Care to answer my question though? 
Please?

If you have to ask what terrorism is, you are out of your league. Plain and simple

[RichardHurt]

What are you asking here? 


Yes, there are large cities here that have phenomenal training facilities in state. They're not the ones sending cops to Israel to "train". 

What do any of your questions have to do with Blue cities sending police to Israel to train in "anti-terrorism"?

I was very clear with my questions.
If your reading comprehension is out of bounds then that is on you.

Sure
But you can't seem to formulate a response.
So who exactly is out of their depth?

Your questions have nothing to do with what was being discussed. If you care to actually ad some context to your questions to make it relevant, feel free. 

I'm sure you won't though, so carry on

Whatever helps you sleep better bub

Define "terrorism"?
I only ask this so we can all be on the same footing. 
This question is in no way a get ya kinda thing. This is just for me to understand what it is that you and the other poster feel.
And yes I expect an answer from the other poster.

I will wait for you to answer in complete correctness.
You most likely will not be able to. And I am aware that most can never answer correctly. But maybe you can entertain me!
I could always use a good story to tell others!

If you have a link that says other cities sent police then by all means please share, but yours only lists LA, Baton rouge, Atlanta, and New York. All very Democrat heavy cities....


You do know that police and "riot police" are the same police correct? Yes, some cities have a special squad of police specifically for that but most are jsut regular offices in riot gear.

The riot police and riot squads perform/use different tactics/equipment.

"Even though riot tactics are effective in controlling crowds, they can also lead to significant psychological effects on both the rioters and the police. Exposure to intense fear, stress, and violence during these confrontations can result in long-term mental health issues, like anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and heightened aggression, which can impact the well-being of protesters and police officers."

Riot control - Wikipedia

The point here is this type of military-style training which escalates tensions and uses excessive force infringes on legal protesters' rights. That's the point.

"“Militarized, racist, violent policing in this country, rooted in centuries of colonization and slavery and war-making here in the US, alongside Israeli occupation and the brutality enacted against Palestinians there — there’s no good sense in which those governments should be trading and cross-training and developing relationships with one another,” the JVP’s Fox said."

Georgia and North Carolina are mentioned in the above article.

But the blame game is not what this is about. It's about militarizing the police. The police need to police not engage in counterterrorism tactics with legal protesters, even if they do riot. A protest riot has historically NOT been considered terrorism. 

Don't be led by the nose into what your government wants to be the new normal, that being demonizing legal protests in your country.

None of this is good for the people, it just stokes more division and distraction from what the oligarchs are doing to enrich themselves.
