Are the cops tattooing under there, or aplting other identifying marks or paints?
Maybe they're joining you guys lol
So has anyone peeked to see if they are hiding tanks?
I guess some of the protesters had linked their arms together with PVC pipe. The red tent was from the fire department to stop sparks from going everywhere when they cut the pipes off their arms.
Plastic pipe makes no sparks when cut with a metal saw blade or carbide cutoff wheel, try again.
That's what I read also. But you are correct. And if the cops are tattooing, I'm going up there!! I think they may just have been being stupidly over-protective. They don't know what could possibly be in those pipes. This would be a good time for a possible "home grown terrorist" attack. Or maybe it was a mass reading of the Miranda Rights. Or the latest Spider-Man. Or maybe they're just trying to fuck with people now.
If there are any Bomb dogs or bomb squads there, make sure those present educate themselves as to the things NOT to have present, and I think I'd advise against the pipe and say get rid of it.
Yeah, the cops could be really taking the paramilitary bend that the protesters are attempting to make pipe bombs. My mind didn't work that way but I could sure see the stage for the first 1867 detainees happening that way. All it would take is pipe and a few common substances to be confiscated for the world to buy it.
That's what I was wondering, that seems to be a new tactic. If you find out please post it.
