Grigg nails it (as usual).
Indeed. Can someone cover some rep for me? :o

A republic is a democracy. A representative democracy, in fact. We spread democracy so much around the world because we all think democracy (and voting) is awesome. If you really think that other people shouldnt be able to vote on your freedoms, you can always vote against the concept of voting, by I dunno, voting for a communist.

I hope you're not being sarcastic, because voting is indeed the way to go. This is a democracy, because the founders voted to make it so. And democracies are founded on the concept of voting. And the people of this country continue to vote to keep it a democracy. So we vote. It's all agreed. I don't want to hear any more of this 'not voting' silliness.

Cop in Ferguson Tweets Lies to Justify Tear-Gassing Protesters in Their Own Back Yard
By Ray Downs Thu., Aug. 21 2014 at 10:18 AM
A Velda City police officer who has been part of the militarized police apparatus holding down operations on West Florissant Avenue is spreading lies about Ferguson protesters online.
Sergeant Mike Weston, going by the handle "officeranon2" on Twitter, engaged with users of the social-media network about a tear-gas attack by St. Louis County police on protesters in their own back yard on Monday, August 11. In the conversation, a Twitter user wanted to know why police would fire tear gas at people on their own property. Weston tells them it's because protesters were firing guns from their back yard. But that's not true, as evidenced in the video below.
Daily RFT was in the back yard that was tear-gassed and caught the incident on video. No shots were ever fired anybody in the back yard, and each person had their hands up in protest.
Daily RFT contacted the Velda City Police Department, and Weston confirmed the account was his and explained the allegations he made against Ferguson residents who were attacked with tear gas on their own property.
"I wasn't spreading misinformation," he said. "There were shots being fired some yards, maybe not this particular one."
Weston then admitted that he wasn't in the group of police officers that was marching down the street and firing tear gas into yards. He said he was in the back closer to the command center, several blocks away.
Although Weston claims shots were fired from "some yards," that wasn't the reason that the St. Louis County Police Department gave for this tear gas attack.
Sergeant Colby Dolly, the chief aide to Police Chief John Belmar, said they used tear gas in the video because the people in their back yard looked like they were up to no good.

How in the hell did you ever get Reputation Beyond Repute when you don't even know that our nation is not a Democracy, but is actually a Republic?
Shirley you can't be serious.
Don't talk to cops!
Agreed.He's being sarcastic. Mind you, I'm starting to get annoyed because its too realistic, but its still sarcasm.

And if you don't want to get tear-gas grenaded in your own back yard, don't stand around in your back yard when America's biggest street gang is on a rampage :
