    Ok, I agree completely. So, lets get out some police firing squads. As long as they only shoot the protesters its cool.

    I am on the side of the protesters, so I support there violence unless it hurts the cause. If I supported the state I would support the police's violence unless it hurts the cause. But death squads would hurt the cause more then it would help.

    Yes because the policemen doing their job, though sometimes a little rough/abusive, deserve to burn alive...

    That is how I felt about the police who peppersprayed college students and that one who shot a dog that wasn't doing anything.

    You are a giant hypocrite. Seriously, you expect that it is ok for police to be legally bound to non-leathal means of dispersion, which they have been using by the way, considering no one has died during the protests, but that in response protesters have every reason to throw Molotov's back!

    Obviously the protestors have every right to be violent to the police, because if you haven't noticed, we are controlled by a brutal police state that takes people away at night to be killed. Also, Obama is secretly the leader of Al Qaeda, and corporation owners are mass murdering slave owners.

    Again, I support violence against the police because they defend the capitalist system as its obedient drones(and doing your job isn't a excuse, it wasn't for the nazi war criminals, it isn't for cops). I don't support violence against you know, protesters because they help destroy the capitalist system, the state, patriarchy, and so forth.

    The state and capitalism rest on violence, they exist because the government will imprison you for overthrowing them. If you want to talk about violence and coercion look at all the jails in the United States.

    Capitalism rest on violence, and you want to destroy it using violence? Seems legit.

    This is a very strange statement.
    What is a government supposed to do when someone is trying to overthrow them, then?
    You have to remember that if they did nothing, it would be just as likely that fascists would take over than communists.

    The government shouldnt exist, or atleast not as a statist entity. The people should be sovereign.

    You should read Gene Sharps "Politics of nonviolent action" or "198 methods of nonviolent actions".

    First of all, I don't know any ordinary Nazi soldiers who got tried as war criminals. Sooooo, you want to use violence against them specifically because they stand for something you don't agree with. Sounds like someone like Pol Pot or Hitler would say.
    So if a protester punches a police officer, its all fine and dandy. But if that police officer dares to retaliate for being punched, it's considered violent and immoral and that police officer is considered an asshole and a horrible human being. Makes perfect sense.

    Yup. Because if I say I am gonna overthrow the government, the police are gonna be at my door in an instant.
    This doesn't seem too bad to me.
