Weel, we now know for sure that the cops who waited DID have weapons at least the equivalent of Ramos’s (theirs would have had a selectable full-auto or burst feature, while his would not have had) AND at least one ballistic shield. Yet they failed to enter.
And we now also know that Texas is mis-using a law, as they have a number of times in the past, that was designed to shield the innocent from bad information being distributed: the “authorities” are refusing to release any information about what happened and why. Their excuse is that the case is still open even though Ramos is dead and thus can never be convicted.
I also happened to stumble across something I’d never heard about before, and I wonder how many others have:
2 days after Kent State, 10 or 11 student protesters, and one young city-schools teacher attacked for no reason, in New Mexico were bayoneted, often repeatedly, by members of a 100-strong NG unit called up to force them out of the Student Union.
The teacher was bayoneted in the leg, severing his femoral artery and failing to kill him only thanks to the quick thinking and immediate help by protesters, some of whom had seen combat as medics in ’Nam.
One of the “Guardsmen” buttstroked in the chest an obviously-uninvolved passerby who was hobbling on crutches with his leg in a cast, knocking him down, and then another thug bayoneted the man who rushed to help the victim up. That bayonet wound opened an artery in the Samaritan’s elbow and he collapsed into a flowerbed, his wound gushing. Stephen Part, a writer for the student newspaper and grad student, was bayonetted in the back just above his hip while applying first aid to the second man’s injured elbow.
