Don't have any back ground on this, but it seems like there was a bit of an over reaction on Orange County's part.
California, land of the police state.

The police are people too, and just like people they like playing dress-up. JK, by showing up in a more menacing uniform they are projecting force to control a potentially unruly crowd with out actually having to use force. If it became necessary, then the department would already be prepared for an extreme escalation in violence.

Agreed, but wouldn't it make more sense to hold the troops in reserve and just monitor the situation? Presenting the swat team seemed to really get the protesters riled up and escalate the situation.
1-For SWAT they sure leave a lot of uncovered back side. People in houses and yards constantly milling on the swat's six. I see a church bell tower too.
2-It's a matter of time till some one somewhere reacts in a really nasty manner.
3-Is this about the police dog attacking women and children last week in Anaheim ?
More over reaction to stop the over reacting ??

Why not? Beating a mean dog always makes it nicer.
Eventually, we'll be graced with those who fear Obama's brownshirts, but will cheer this as completely justified.
and yes, this is about the Anaheim dog attack and corresponding over-reaction.

I seem to recall those cops caught on tape slamming the elderly woman into the wall and confiscating her gun after Katrina were CHP...
As with nearly all these posts, an assumption is being made based on a video the protester(s) made. California (so cal especially) has some of the most deluded, self-righteous, wrongful sense of entitlement people in the US.
Seems like they may have provoked a response since the signs were already made saying "look at my military police." If this was recent, then this was most likely in related to the other police brutality gatherings/riots.

Its recent, July 30. But your right it is from the crowds point of view, and unless the police set out that morning to violate civil rights I'm sure the crowd did antagonize the police. Which is why I prefaced the posting with the fact that I didn't have any background on the story.
Blame my upbringing, but I immediately assume that these are mommy and daddy's spoiled angels that think they can do/say whatever they want in the name of their constitutional right. "If I throw my **** at a cop, that's just free speech."
They're coming right from the generation of "don't spank your children" and "everyone's a winner... we just play for fun."
