IMPD officers: Anti-Trump rally set for Saturday evening

Yes. One officer was assaulted by protestors and another was hit by friendly fire from a pepperball launcher.

I was working district and was called out to assist the squad that was detailed to the protest. Ten officers were for a crowd of about 2000 people. It apparently started off peacefully and then went to ****. The officers didn't even step in until the group began blocking streets. Not sure what caused the rock and bottle throwing to begin as my squad was still forming up when it happened. We arrived at ground zero in time to see police horses at a full gallop chasing some of the instigators. My squad caught a group of four instigators that were the ones changing clothes. Not a one of them was from Indy, or even Indiana.

Of course not. This is a much deeper rabbit hole than we realize.
Someone is funding this crap. These douche bags can not afford rent let alone charter a bus.

Were you the one that had to chase his down?

My squad arrived just before the horses were chasing people. A couple of officers in my squad chased one of the main instigators for about 20 feet before he was taken into custody, but that was well after the horse chase.

Two of the people I talked to had well-rehearsed stories about why they were in town and that they just wanted to watch the protest. Funny how they didn't plan to be involved but had masks and flags.

So you have the idiots that started the violence.

We have some of them. I doubt we have all of them. Apparently they were well-trained and prepared.

Wow..........This explains a lot.

Glad some of them were caught at least.

Does this get to the MSM?

I was accused of trying to discourage early voting by parking my marked police car at the City-County building. I politely explained to the Prius-driving snowflake that police HQ was inside and I was there on business.

Stay safe IMPD!

There is a lot of stupid foolish mentality out there. A whole generation that hasn't been taught that not always getting one's way is a part of adult life and maturity.

It's one thing to read about that crap in Commiefornia. But here....

 

[actaeon277]

Wow this event really opened my eyes. I had no idea we lived in such a horrible, oppressive country. Why in the world didn't they fix this over the last eight years?

 

[actaeon277]

I about busted a gut reading the first comment

Where can we park? Preferably for free

Wow. Not even half a dozen comments.
Not a very big concern.

I could have used a meal during the second half of the 16.5 hour shift I just finished.

We had a few people ask to take our picture. Most folks got the humor. I even got a few "I can respect that" comments from people who weren't sure if I was serious or not.

I did talk to the counter-protest. It was one lady and her kids. I think abortion must be her issue, as her sign said something about Trump is love because his policies would save lives. She had a bunch of tiny writing around the edges, "d...s out for Harambe" was the only one I read. I find that funny, but have no idea what it's about. I mean, I know the Harambe story, I just don't get the tie in with exposed genitals.

Two women did talk to me and my partner. The really short women talked to my partner about how sexual assault was a big problem in the military and the President Elect is a voyeur so he's going to make it ok. There conversation went downhill pretty quick. The one who talked to me asked what I would do if I saw the crowd beating a Trump supporter. I told her video it and be a great witness. She then made her argument Trump should step down because "thousands of people are hurting people in his name" and he should speak out against it. I told her that a-holes will be a-holes, they aren't going to stop being a-holes if Trump steps down...and it's unfair to assign him control of the a-holes. She thinks he should speak out more against it or he's responsible for it. Sounds a lot like the arguments I see about Islam, and I mentioned to her I converted in '04 and what she was doing to Trump supporters was exactly what she'd flip out about if people did it to Muslims. She had some logical backflips about how it's not the same because he's alive and can speak out against it...you really think a politician is going to involve himself in that mess beyond what he's already done? Lulz. I will say she was respectful and honestly wanted to have a conversation, even if she was (in my opinion) pretty wrong headed. There's plenty of real issues to worry about without making things up. I told her I was truly not a Trump or Hillary supporter, I thought they were both deeply flawed and unfit to be the candidates for a major political party...but he won so let's see what he actually does before we flip out. My partner was about to strangle the oompa-loompa he was talking to, so we called it a day. Plus I was starting to feel like an activist, and the inactivist creed specifically prohibits that.

We saw a guy in his early twenties complaining to a group of anti-Trumpers that he got spit on by the crowd for supporting Trump. They told him that was not the spirit of the rally. Frankly, I think he was full of poo and just looking for attention. The crowd was small and even with our signs, no one was the least bit rude or hostile to us. I didn't see him in the crowd, just walking on the sidewalk.

A bit before we left, two guys in a surplus military 5-ton were driving around with a big Trump/Pence sign on the side blowing the horn. I thought it was funny. Some young chick about ran over us to get a picture of it and was visibily upset. "Can you believe it?" "Uh...yeah?"

As we walked back to my partner's car a guy in a black SUV, who obviously didn't or couldn't read our signs, pulls up and gives a smug "Go Trump" like he's going to irritate us, then pulled off. Uh, ok, have a great day. I think you should have read the signs first...but what evs.

Random thoughts:

Putting a mask on AFTER you get to the protest seems like you're doing it wrong.

The guy who made the 3' tall paper mache Obama mask...nicely done. You put way more work into your sign than we did.

To the lady with the sign with a drawing of lady parts and the words "This one grabs back"....uh...what?

Awesome signs, but where did you get the smiley face masks?

In the pic to your left: older dude with one of those fold-up/goes in a bag chairs?

Upper left: is that a ninja with a flag?

Funny, because it appears to be a Krav Maga flag.

These protests are funded.

Heres what i tke from this and I support cops. But to the gun community we now have a president that supports us,
but for the last 8
years you can be sure that every event was infiltrated by the feds or law enforcement. And they took pics of probably everyone entering a gun show or your license plate. It's bull **** that for excercising a constitutional right that you get treated like the mob.

When obama was elected (more the second time) I actualy felt scared and have for 8 years because you have an administration that has retaliated against groups or people that are on the other side politically. He's a bully.
But I never torched a car in protest.
the left is corrupted and the youth are being poisoned by colleges.

C'mon TT, you can't actually believe this. Sure there are a lot of people in LE, but t'aint that many. Not nearly enough to do what you're suggesting. It may have happened in places where they thought some shenanigans were going on, but definitely not universally.
