Firing into the crowd was not justified. Arresting the person who threw "water" would be justified.

Nope. All they did was toss some water. No one was harmed or was in danger. Stop making excuses for the police.

IMO police should have arrested the water thrower.
If no cops get sick or suffer burns, let the water thrower go.
Or IF it turns out it wasn't just water, charge the "water" thrower.

I expect the parade of Fuck the Police posters will now attack me with ridiculous claims police should give members of the public the benefit of the doubt when attacked with an unknown substance. But I don't care any more, I was going to bed anyway.

And here comes the apologetic. Stop excusing the police for these actions. It does not matter what they knew. Firing into a crowd was not justifiable.

They'll say the police responded to violence, as if being splashed with water in HOT ASS Texas is something you should be mad about. I'd probably thank the protesters for throwing some H2O on me on a 1 million degree summer day in the lone star state.

See, this shows why a pure liberal, centrist worldview is insufficient to face these issues. Legally, suburbs cannot ban people of other races. But economically, the black community often lacks the resources to get in, even if you discount the unofficial racist policies and reactions to a black family moving into the suburbs.

Throwing milkshakes at fascists was a bit of a trend for a while. In an effort to make it seem like a violent assault, some of their mouthpieces claimed that quick-dry cement was being added to milkshakes, turning them into dangerous projectiles. As it happens, the sugar in a milkshake would prevent cement from hardening, meaning that this claim was not only unsupported by any evidence, but was physically impossible.

As to your point that the police don't know that water being thrown on them is actually water, I suppose that's true, at least for a few seconds. But by the same token, when the police fire a gas grenade at people, how is anyone to know that it is tear gas and not, say, sarin or chlorine?

They could have had a reasonable expectation of danger. But barring one of them saying as much and explaining their perspective while apologizing for the reaction, that seems a stretch.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

You're defending a rioter. When a protester crosses that line from yelling at police to assaulting police with a substance, they're no longer a protester, they're a rioter.
