Would have been braver if wasn't hiding behind the uniform. I believe he is actually violating orders by wearing it in such a manner (MCO P1020.34G).

maybe, but it gives him credibility. I don't believe it would have gone viral if he was just a man claiming to be a marine without evidence to back it up. I also don't believe it would have gone viral if it was someone who wasn't a marine, because the protests are already full of people saying that the brutality is wrong. When it comes from a man who risked his life for the USA, and can prove it, it gives his words a little more power.Quote:

To clarify and to not take anything away from the man, he WAS a Marine and he plainly states that on his youtube video post. The uniform was just worn for impact.Quote:

What do these videos prove? All I could see was a camera panning over to shit that was already in action. You take that video on the other thread where everybody supported the man beating two women with a pole, change the camera angle and start it exactly when he started hitting those bitches and give their account of the event and everybody on that thread would have had a different opinion on his actions. Think about it people!Quote:

they are totally in the right, especially pepper spraying them.
Ya a man totally needs a pole to defend himself against two women and continue to beat them even when they are down. You commented on that thread you didn't speak out against him.
these are peaceful protesters. they are not punching cops in the face, and chasing them down to hurt them in an area full of knives and hot liquid. These things can't be compared dude, sorry. Protesting peacefully is not the same as hitting a random person in the face.Quote:
