Uh, I dont see any APCs in that video. I see what might be some bearcats in the police line, but I dont see them doing anything at all. The gas is launched by m-23 launchers or by hand.

I did see a guy lighting a molotov cocktail so I can see why they were trying to disperse the "protesters."

It kind of looks like you just want the video to show something that it does not see. I am not trying to be rude, but I dont even see protesters. I see a bunch of assholes standing around. Protesters usually have a protest or something. Maybe you have another video that shows a different angle?

If you "don't see protesters," I don't think I have anything else I can add to this discussion. In short, my views are that the 1033 program had maybe good intentions, but as with anything that becomes under the sole discretion of those who benefit from it, it's been abused to a degree that police strap up with more gear than soldiers. You disagree, there's not really anything I can tell you that's going to change that view.

You havent shown abuse. You showed a vehicle standing in a row with police officers.

And if you think protesters come equipped with molotov cocktails, you are going to the wrong protests.
