Maybe the pig has a broken orbital, maybe he doesn't, but you've suspended your disbelief too far when right-wing local blogs are your prime source.

Everybody has been driving down a side street and had some urban youts or white trash walking down the middle of the street so as to show dominance (in their mind) and piss off drivers who have to drive in the other lane to get around them, all while mean mugging. This moron did it to a cop, and then when the cop gave him shit about it, decided to fight him. I don't think he was college material.

Its pretty rare for a news story in the places I've lived to not mention "Police officer injured - taken to hospital for treatment." A face fracture is pretty substantial stuff. Absolutely zero cause to hide it too. So I am waving BS flag on it until proven otherwise.

Well, it's making its way to the major media...

Six months after the burning and looting that swept Los Angeles last spring, Joe Chiu has still not rebuilt his gutted meat market in Koreatown or his grocery in Long Beach. The Federal Small Business Administration has approved his $500,000 loan, but his contractors have been turned down for building permits at least three times because city building rules are much stricter now than when he opened 27 years ago.

"They won't meet you halfway," said Mr. Chiu, who is president of an association for Chinese-American riot victims. "The money is there, but there's been no real effort."

The Federal Government has allotted $1.35 billion to Los Angeles riot recovery. So far $251 million has been distributed for a wide array of programs -- from 9,000 extra summer jobs for teen-agers to housing assistance for 2,096 victims to the beginnings of the "weed and seed" program, meant to rid neighborhoods of crime and to establish medical and school programs aimed at the young.

But the Federal impact on recovery is not as great as the figures suggest. Of $300 million for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or F.E.M.A., more than two-thirds ($218 million) is going to the state and county to help pay for National Guard, state police, debris removal and other immediate riot-control expenses. That leaves only $82 million to help families with rent and temporary housing, and only $19 million of that has actually been spent.

Of the $1.35 billion total, nearly half ($600 million) is in low-interest loans made available to banks by the Federal Home Loan Bank system to finance low-income housing and commercial development. Deputy Mayor Linda Griego says it is not clear how this money can be obtained. Only $23 million has so far been used.

The Cincinnati riots of 2001 were a series of civil disorders which took place in and around the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of downtown Cincinnati, Ohio from April 9 to 13, 2001. The riots were the largest urban disturbance in the United States since the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

The riots were sparked after 19-year-old African American Timothy Thomas was shot and killed by Cincinnati Police Department Patrolman Stephen Roach. Tensions, which were already high following a series of other incidents of alleged police brutality and racial profiling, erupted into four nights of rioting in Cincinnati, with rioters throwing objects at police, vandalizing and looting businesses before a curfew effectively ended the unrest.

Ultimately it was determined the riots caused $3.6 million in damage to businesses and another $1.5 to $2 million to the city. A subsequent boycott of downtown businesses had an estimated impact of $10 million to the downtown area, and coincided with a rise in violent crime in the downtown area for several years thereafter.

2. Do not assault the police.
3. If you do 1 and/or 2 do not return to the place you did one or both.

Probably because nobody disputes fighting with a cop for his gun gets you shot, it wasn't in the NYT article that the 538 one was referring to, and there's no evidence that it happened. Cop says it did, three named witnesses say no.

No broken orbital bone, either; that was a fabrication.

The Davis City Council has told the police department it must get rid of a military vehicle it received in the next 60 days....

The chief promised specific guidelines for its use, and said like many police forces who now have the armored vehicles, it’s a necessary piece of safety equipment.

Last week on Ricochet.com I wrote a post called “Lose the Camouflage, Please,” in which I criticized the soldierly appearance of many of the police officers facing off with protesters in Ferguson. Camouflage fatigues have no place on the streets of any American city, regardless of the chaos that might be reigning. But I erred in being critical of the sight of snipers aiming their rifles into crowds of what I had been led to believe were peaceful protesters (see “Media” discussion above). Now we know there were armed men in those crowds, and that some of those purportedly peaceful protesters took a break from looting at night only for as long as long as it took to shoot someone. This being the case, better for a police officer to be equipped with a rifle and perched up high than with a pistol at street level should the need arise to engage a gunman concealed among innocents.

And if Wilson is indicted, there’s not a chance in the world he’ll be convicted, that is unless the jury is made up of nothing but MSNBC viewers or veterans of the O.J. Simpson jury. Pathologist Michael Baden, who conducted an autopsy on Brown’s body at the request of his family, all but guaranteed an acquittal when he said Brown could have been shot while charging at Wilson. All the reasonable doubt Wilson needs is right there.
