“I was passing by and I saw what was going down,” he said in an interview, “and I figured, they can’t have a riot without me!” Van Ronk was not gay, but he had firsthand experience with police violence, both at the Beatnik Riot in Washington Square Park in 1961, as well as at many antiwar demonstrations. “As far as I was concerned,” he said, “anybody who’d stand against the cops was all right with me, and that’s why I stayed in…Every time you turn around the cops were pulling some outrage or another.”

I see a cop, I’m gonna throw bricks first and ask why later
January 6 called…
False equivalency much?
Nah, by their literal statement, if “you” were there, “you” were throwing bricks.
“You’d” ask questions on 1/7.
The attack wasn’t directed at the police, though, they were just a barrier to their real goal, rhe overthrowing of the due-ly elected government of the US.
The person in question is directing their ire specifically at police. It’s not the same, in any respect.
The guy definitely is no Einstein
Nah – every rule has its exceptions.
Are they saying to back the blue… until it’s no longer convenient?
They’re saying back the blue whenever they subjugate minorites. The irony is that the entire pretense of the January 6th insurrection was that Trump voters refuse to accept they they are a minority.

The cat injured two cops as well.
Where did he even find the bricks? Did he bring them from home just in case?
The French Revolution was famous for throwing bricks … they tore up the roads and used bricks that made up the road to throw or turn into a barrier.
When there is an uprising and enough motivation, with enough imagination and ingenuity, there is more than enough material around to throw at the authority you are rebelling against

Had to comment because it’s not often I see Dave Van Ronk’s name come up.
His song Last Call really struck a chord early in my sobriety.
