It will be interesting to see if anything comes of it. The police issued a statement that they were a little hesitant because the bodyguards were all armed.  http://nymag.com/daily/intelli...c-turns-violent.html “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

Just another example on how you cannot rely on the police to protect you. They were there and they did nothing to protect those people being beaten. Another strong reason for 2A. | |||

The thug/security detail person that the DC cop took his baton to had a gun. You can see it under his cover garment while he is punching a woman who is lying on the ground after being kicked by one of his compatriots. I say bravo to the cop, and there should have been more like him on scene. | |||

If you haven't watched the video yourself, you need to. We have never seen this behavior on video before in the USA. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

outrageous. the same officers who would arrest me for accidentally leaving an empty 30 round magazine in my truck when i drive from VA into DC will stand by while armed foreign thugs beat US citizens in our nations capital for fear of doing something because they're armed. that is a cowardly statement from the DC police and should be shameful to any american | |||

This exactly. Get_them_out. Erdogan is a modern Mussolini, and Turkey is going down the rathole fast. | |||

So, foreign Thugs can carry in DC, but US citizens can't.... Well that's just fucking wonderful !! | |||

| Gracie Allen is my personal savior! |
I understand feeling the cops should've acted more aggressively, but I can understand their not wanting to trigger a gunfight in the middle of a residential street full of not just thugs, but protesters, passers-by and residents. It's not like those jackasses in suits could be counted on to be disciplined about where or how much they'd fire. | |||
|
| Oh stewardess, I speak jive.  |
Beyond legitimate self defense, of which this was not, they have no business acting that way, not here, and particularly not against Americans who were, themselves, peaceful. Get The Fuck Out Now. | |||

| hello darkness my old friend  |
Here is a different view. Pretty damning to me. I have had enough of Turkey and their shit. I don't care how important they are due to their location. They need to be out of NATO. | |||

And here's an article that provides more information related to Erdogan not only watching but probably personally ordering the attack on protesters: PJ Media: Erdogan probably ordered attack from his Mercedes _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

Amazing display of chutzpah as Turkey summons US ambassador to complain about 'rough treatment' of guards who attacked peaceful protesters on US soil (not on embassy grounds). Turkey summons US ambassador to protest 'aggressive' handling of Turkish bodyguards “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||

Well, Sec. State Tillerson said they summoned the Turkish Ambassador and expressed their dismay. That's how these breaches of diplomatic decorum are handled. In practical terms there are also the usual six options. One, do nothing. Two, issue a statement deploring the conduct. Three, lodge an official protest. Four, cut off aid. Five, break off diplomatic relations; and six, declare war. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||
