  • Dude everyone calm down and eat some fruit or something.

  • faux news sks

  • property is more important than a human life!

  • oakland police ARE corrupt. all police are corrupt depending on their leadership. and PLEASE! to all nay sayers DON"t try to justify this! it is what it is!

  • It is a freedom to protest, for our liberties and the Cops are taking them away.

  • "The USA stands ready to do violence against anybody especially it's own citizens even they're veterans." Anyone who believes a governments promise is just plain stupid.

  • I THINK US NEEDS "HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION" LIKE EGIPT AND LIBIA!!

    BUT WHO HAVE GUTS TO GO CHINA? MAYBE WITH RUSSIA!!

    THINK ABOUT IT ? "IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY" OFCOURSE JUST LIKE IN EGYPT AND LIBYA

    CHEERS FROM POLAND

    WOJSCIECH

  • if vets are being treated like this, how far can this movement really go?...i mean what can we the people do?

  • Congress should call up the draft, if only to see how many of the Occupy report to the recruiters and how many draft dodgers we have. The Selective Service should provide more alternatives to conscientious objectors, like farm labor, agriculture, and meat processing. We need to deport illegal aliens and put US Citizens on career paths to success. Doing this would recycle $US back into our economic structure, generate revenue, and recover our economy. End the Fed, Go Gold, Silver and Platinum.

  • FUCK YOU YOU SICK POLICE FUCKS SHOW SOME RESPECT TO THE VETS YOU PIG FUCKS! IT IS TIME MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS! IT IS TIME FOR REVOLUTION!!!

  • Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and Chase paid the government back all of their bailout money. These protests have nothing to do with the banks.

  • If this is obeying the terms of your permit to assemble , I would hate to see what riot looks like. This marching down a street and disobeying police orders has nothing to do with free speech. It was an unlawful assembly and everyone who participated knew it. I have no problem voicing my opinion, but free speech has limits, freedom of religion has limits, the right to carry a gun has limits, the right to assemble peacefully has limits. This was taught in high school for those who went to class.

  • dang that guy is smart

  • i am a member of the military and it makes me sick to watch these vets use there status to get attention. we have been a 100 % volunteer force since vietnam! the police are doing there job. if you want to block roads, live in filth in public parks, build fires in the street, throw shit at police, shut down ports, occupy banks...well you get what you deserve! the police should arrest all of them even. socialist morons

  • @usaf317

    Sooo, what you're saying is... Scott who was STANDING STILL (just prior to being fired upon) "deserved" to have his skull fractured (and then DENIED medical attention by the very cops who hurt him) because "he was using his status to get attention"?!!! I guess that means ANYONE who "uses their status to gain attention" deserves to be shot and left for dead?!!!

    You have funny way of interpreting the Constitution you SWORE to defend. And they actually PUT a gun in YOUR hand? Scary

  • @ardarra i could car less that the guy USE to be in the military...it doesnt make him a saint or more important than the next citizen.

    from what i have seen first hand most of the protestors are at best socialists....and i can not support that. no privte business should be bailed out but my tax dollars should not go for toward your college or healthcare. pay your own way...if i can then so can the rest of you.

  • oh, he survived two tours of duty in Iraq.

  • Derek J Hale was shot in the chest at point blank range by the Delaware state patrol while he sat on his front porch after being tazed three times right in front of his girlfriend and her two kids.

  • More poor and desperate will take to protesting soon, you can't arrest them all can U

  • i served 6 years on the police force and i'd like to let y'all know that when the police warn the demonstrators that they are to vacate an area, by law, they must do so. these protesters were warned and they got what they asked for. they fought the law... and the law won. sorry folks. jk haha but perhaps i had you going

  • @bambootoona This is EPIC

  • Matthis clearly is an aware and well-informed person, maybe also a poet, or philosopher. He expresses very intelligent views. The interview could've been a little longer, 2 or 3 minutes, say, but for what he could say in the allotted time, I can only approve of his views. I tend to think quite critically, and don't perceive anything mistaken or off-base in what he said, at all.

  • IF THEY WANT TOO ARREST US,,, FINE LETS GO OCCUPY THE JAILS,, SPLIT , THE OCCUPY TWO PLACES,,, TILL THEIRS NO WHERE TOO PUT US !!! THEN THE COURTS,, CAUSE WE GET ARRESTED , WE HAVE TWO GO TOO COURT , SO THEN OCCUPY ANY WHERE THE FORM OF GOVERNANCE WANTS TOO USE THIS CORRUPTED GOVERNMENTAL POWER SO NOW IT WILL BE MILITIA POWER , WITH THE USE OF UNMANNED REMOTE CONTROL RC HOME MADE PREDATOR DRONES ,, THIS WAY THEY CAN BEAT A DRONE NOT A PERSON MR.BONES

  • Comment removed

  • Good job by the Oakland PD for kicking out the stupid #Occutards. Now lets see Boston and New York do the same thing!

  • you fought for DICK CHENEY and GWBUSH...do you think they give a RAT'S ASS about you??? WE CARE, DICK CHENEY AND BUSH don't.

  • Is this the [freedom] more than a million innocent Iraqi Men,Women & Children were murdered for? When the leaders of oil rich Countries send there forces out to break up protesters the zionist,s from the u.s are the first to call them dictators, Imagine what obama would say if this was happening in Iran,Pakistan,e.t.c, The only good thing that could come from this is the people from the u.s wake up & realise just how evil there government, military, & police force realy are.

  • @smallyb2009 We already know, hence the Occupy movement.

  • When you YouTube "Occupy Phoenix AR15" you will see what a difference is made.

  • You hear some of the clearest thinking from veterans. They have been there and back. They can't be distracted by what the media shows.

  • Thank you for protecting us and we stand and support you when you come home!

  • people>money

  • poor matthis, he though that justice and liberty ever had a place in america. little does he know that all that happened was that he grew up and understood reality, it hurts.

  • When the shit truly hits the fan, will there be any way to tell revolution from riot? Guess who's going to be filling all those nice new prisons...

  • Hired murderers, good riddans.

  • if I had to live in the US I would kill myself immediately. fucking terror and cop state

  • @JunCorrado where do you live?

  • @JunCorrado I feel more alive protesting tyranny than I did "serving" my "country." Methinks the world is going to recover from Western Influence now that we are doing something about it. Suicide is not the answer lol.

  • @thejoolien

    I can't thank you for your service, as I am a forgeiner and don't think that is something thank-worthy. But I do thank you for protesting. Thats the best service you can do for your country now. Quite a lot of people in the protets are vetrans. They went to the wars and wake up there. They come back very critical and aware. Keep on what you doing you are doing the generations to come good. Alot of our rights were won by prevoius civil unrest.

  • Is it time too ask the U.N. for armed help like the LIBYAN Rebels needed against armed Government forces who were hurting people who were unarmed ,,, they better wise up !!! or police stations may start getting bombed ,, with U.N. support,,, for police human rights violations ,,, !!!!! we need too wake up!!!!!

  • NOW OCCUPY THE COURTS , SHUT THEM DOWN !!!! PEOPLE HAVE TOO GO TOO COURT IF THEY GET ARRESTED !!! FINE IF YOU GET ARRESTED DON'T LEAVE STAY AND FILL THE JAILS TILL THEY CAN'T HOLD ANY MORE PEOPLE AND VIOLANTE PEOPLE WILL BE GOING FREE ,ALL BAD,, OCCUPY THE COURTS WHO WILL CHARGE YOU !!! SAY NO TOO THE COURTS THEN !! WE WON'T GO !!! WE WON'T GO ,, STOP FIRING ON US !!! NOW !!!

  • WE NEED TOO IF THEY ARREST US !!! YOU HAVE TOO GO TOO COURT,,, OK THEN ,,,, LET GO OCCUPY THE COURTS , WHERE IF YOUR ARREST YOU GO !!! WILL THEY SHOOT US WITH RUBBER BULLET IF WE SURROUND THE JAILS AND DEMAND THEY ARREST AND HOUSE US ALL !!! AND THE OCCUPY , THE PLACES THEY TAKE PEOPLE WHO ARE ARRESTED !!! AND TURN ARE SELVES IN TILL THEIR OVER RUN AND OVER OCCUPIED !!! THEN WILL THEY SHOOT ,CAUSE THEIRS NO WHERE TO PUT PEOPLE THEY ARREST !!

  • Shot??? Are you people nuts?

    This stuff hasn;t happened in greece yet...jeezz..

  • Bergstresser is the name of the cop that shot Olsen.

  • You'd think we would of revolted and kicked all the corrupt, lying, coward ass politicians out when obama gave the banks who put us in this mess 700 BILLION dollars without tax payer approval.

  • Everything he says is spot on. Good for him on being a vet speaking out against the rampant tyranny

  • Wake up people! Search for Truth!

    Get the word out. Spread the TRUTH!

    Fight with good speach against the ignorance.

    Wake up the people arround.

    Unveil the roots of evil: secrecy, conspiracy, coverups and all the lies.

    Fight against the kingdom of falsehood and get back our planet from the hands of devil, evil, corupt, ruthless mafia workers.

    God bless the followers in Truth, Love and Peace.

  • WHEN WILL AMERICANS REALISE THAT YOUR GOVERNMENT IS NO LONGER THE SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE ? WHEN WILL AMERICANS FINALLY UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE BEEN INFILTRATED BY THE 4TH REICH. They must be removed from power by whatever means necessary, they have perpetrated a silent coup. Follow your constitution and take these thugs out, hang them from the nearest tree as George Bush Senior suggested would occur once you discovered what's been done to you.

  • You fucks may have silenced 1, but you can't silences us all!

  • What does it say that our soliders can survive two terms in Iraq, but not 2 months protesting peacefully

  • This is obviously the result of years of failed policy, Corporate Influence, (Fascism) and demolition of individual liberty and freedom. NOW THEY GET IT! REVOLT! THE SOLIDARITY OF THE WORLD RESTS ON YOUR SHOULDERS!

  • Home of the free?

  • a lot of teuth in this one video.

  • WTF?! the time is NOW!!!! we the people of the World need to wake up and tell "THEM" NO MORE!!!!!! this needs to stop! we are all the same, human! UNITE!

    WAKE-UP, STAND-UP and WAKE-UP!

  • & they didn't say that the Bonus Army vets had been promised $1,000, but guess who got their money? The BANKS!

  • we support the troops & the vets :)

  • People are finally starting to make sense, I love it!

  • "We all love freedom and liberty and we wanna make this a country where those values really matter and their not bought, paid for, pre packaged and fed to us"

    well said my man i couldnt agree more

  • They bring dogs, We bring guns.

  • I think ladies and gents it may be time to oppress our would be oppressors. We have the numbers, do we have the will?

  • Being a VET is tough in this nation.We get no respect at all from the very government that sent us to war.You risk your life and in return you are brushed like dust under a rug never to be reconised again. Thankfully the people of this nation have not forgot us, and we have not forgot the oath we have taken. It is a life long oath. The enemy is domestic in origin with foreign influence. Americans united can defeat those that seek to destroy our nation.Peace.

  • @chewycandy666 Oh it is the exact same way Veterans are treated in the UK. They go fight for the country, if they survives and are not injured or killed while in the conflict. Many a times they come home and are told. Thank you for your service now you are sacked or we do not need you anymore. Severe disrespect towards our Armed men and women that is for sure.

  • @chewycandy666 That's because war does no one honor, including you. Goverments merely brainwash the people to believe otherwise. It's sad :(

  • Why do people still defend the cops???? I don’t get it??? The cops protect and serve the State, Corporations and global interest, NOT the people. They would shoot, kill, murder and jail every American citizen including babies on the first order given, then cash their check and say they were just doing their job in an honest day’s work.

  • EVER NOTICE HOW LIBERAL PROTESTERS LOVE TO BREAK THE LAW AND CREATE PROBLEMS AND CONSERVATIVE ACTIVISTS ARE PEACEFUL AND OBEY THE LAW.

  • @goldsilverandiamonds. Ever notice how extremists on both ends give the protestors all a bad name. Ever notice how the media likes to latch on to these extremists to try and disregard the meaning and the need for action?

  • @NoCigar1991 No not really it is clear that LIBERAL PROTESTERS BY FAR HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CRIMINAL IN NATURE.

  • @goldsilverandiamonds. Yeah, like those darn civil rights era protestors who won equality and ended widespread acceptance of sexism and racism. Or those darn reform era protestors, who ended child labor, limited the 7 day work week, and regulated the food industry which was making people sick. Those people must all have been criminals right. Except the Tea Party of course........ /sarcasm.

  • @goldsilverandiamonds lol, you must be kiddin !

  • @Quierotortilla No history shows I am correct....get ready for massive violence by the left.

  • @goldsilverandiamonds striking or diminishing someone's paycheck is no less violence as what is generally understood by violence.

    Also the split up between left and right in society is pure artificial and based on nothing.

  • @Qu Personal choices and philosophy are why you are unhappy with your paycheck, do not blame others or the company that hires you for your lack or unwillingness to grow as a person and employee. You are paid for your service and ability. Increase your skills and improve your service to your company and you will EARN more, if not you are always free to choose an abundant amount of options. You are somewhat right about left and right but what you fail to see is who is right and who is wrong.

  • They keep on saying 'arrested'. But I still dont understand what the reason for arrest is ?

  • @Nadanbata they have no reason for the arrests! its unconstitutional what they're doing. this just shows that america has become a police state.

  • You want Peace and non violence???

    GROUP MEDITATION EVENTS will create peace and non violence.

    It's a Scientific Fact. ~ Be Smart and Start.

  • Protests are a waste of time and will only play into the hands of the controllers. You have to stop using their monetary system. Choose the alternate currency of gold and silver. Vote Libertarian. Only then will change take place.

  • @Motoicon Voting Libertarian won't solve anything, and even if you put another monetary system in place, what's to stop the super rich from controlling that one?

  • @Homer177 libertarianism is a mental desease

    that mostly afflickts young uneducated & poor americans

  • @MrViTopol It would seem that way with the way those folks worship Ron Paul so willing (Hence my sarcastically calling him Saint Ron). It's not surprising that this shit is being preached now of all times, because we've been robbed of everything we have. A libertarian government would simply allow big business to make slaves of the rest of us.

  • @Homer177 Keep in mind that if people remain mindful of big business and its abuses, they can simply unite and boycott it to make it go under. Fact is, we are already under the control of big business. When big business mogels began buying politicians and setting them uplike chess pieces, we fell into slavery. You have the freedom to move your eyes to the left and the right,but your body is still in a very tight cage, maybe for so long that you do not see it. Its better to die then be a slave

  • @Homer177 Anything man based will fail eventually. But libertarian principles are the most sound and free out of all systems used in history. The question begs to be asked, how should people vote then if not based on a limited government standpoint? You either believe in more government (Less freedom) or less government which yields more freedom. Either you are for more freedom or less. The root of 75% of all society's problems are from State malfeasance.

  • Sue the Police

  • If we are passive, we are enabling the controllers.Therefore We must rise up not in violence but in PEACE with one voice and say ENOUGH of the secrecies, Enough of Oil, Enough of Economic slavery and Enough of the wars. Its time for a new civilization and we will see it be born in the coming months and years. And guess What? We WILL do it. You and I together with people around the world. WHEN THE PEOPLE LEAD, THE LEADERS WILL FOLLOW, BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE TO.

  • Americas were laughing at the Greek riots and protests for 6 years.. Now that they woke up, they're not laughing at Greece anymore.

  • "The United States stands ready to do violence against anyone" Really! No kidding! All governments will do what ever is required to keep their monopoly on power.

  • Scott having lost his ability to speak is kind of symbolic - the people have no voice anymore.

  • Apparently it is much easier for politicians to cheer protesters as long as they protest in foreign countries.

  • @LoveGodEndlessly Hypocrisy at it's finest. I think there's a YouTube video on it...

  • Are cops stupid or what? If i was ordered to arrest PEACEFULL protesters i would quit RIGHT AWAY and join the protest and swing my nightstick the other way, maybe pepperspray my old chief!

  • The problem is see here, police made a mistake to shoot a "Army person". Becouse soldier is used of days of fighting, while police officer is low skilled and fat dude who coudnt even run 1-2km.

  • @Metalmaxm DO NOT PISS OFF THE MARINES, THEY WILL OPEN A GARGANTUAN CAN OF WHIPP-ASS ON THESE COPS! ATTACK OF PEACEFUL PROTESTS LIKE THIS IS NOT KOSHER!

  • @hendo19742 More Vets are gonna start standing with us. Once more american see that. They will realize that this government and the corporations who run it are the enemy and the and OWS are the real people standing up for freedom, justice and equality. The Media like fox and mbc etc are scum and soon the rest of the american people will realize that.

  • @hendo19742 Mate you have missunderstand my post :) Re-read and it's all ok :)

  • @Metalmaxm You missunderstand me, re-read and all is ok.

  • I find it funny that the violence started once police came in.

  • THANK YOU RT FOR SUPPORTING FREEDOM, THE PEOPLE'S ATTEMPT TO ELIMINATE CORRUPTIO, AND FOR STICKING YOUR NECKS OUT FOR THE TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I would HATE to be THE COP WHO SHOT THE VET! He will need to keep looking over his shoulder now. Vets might not use a rubber bullet.

  • This guy was well spoken. Props for inviting him on.

  • watch?v=xKWr8S87-wo

  • Bonus marchers were attacked by forces under Black Jack Pershing, the scourge of Mexico.

  • Sex-boycott the police for this. Don't fuck the police. Sex-strike. The tactic has worked in other Countries. Don't fuck the police until they go back to protecting the people. Everyone, even their own husbands or wife's need to vow not to give them any, until they come around.

  • @thepuzzleandsolution and this all started because of bank bailouts, the people are realizing that the middle and lower class have to pay for theyer mistakes, but not the rich, the system will always bail you out if you are a member of the 1%. this guy says it all, /watch?v=0AATSAQeKLU&list=FLOg­l_4QrTBHbY_msl5PRblA&index=52&­feature=plpp_video

  • Comment removed

  • thank you for repeating the fact that the nashville police stopped patrolling in order to use safety as a pretext for eviction. Totally ridiculous.

  • @thepuzzleandsolution prt 1. seriously? its only about new jobs?? the systems not broke??? ok wont you explain this to me how is it that there are dozens if not hundreds of cases of police brutality against peaceful protestors, how come nothings being done to them? why was a veteran shot in the head with a gass grenade *almost died* and when the crowd tried to get him medical attention the officers shot at the crowd.

  • @thepuzzleandsolution you have no clue what is going on ! the system is broke for the 99% !

  • SCOTT OLSEN WAS SHOT 2 TIMES!!!!! the 2nd shot while he laid defenseless on the ground. He may never be able to speak again - hasn't spoke since injured.

  • @thepuzzleandsolution the wall street protestors do not represent any group and frankly i think most people are getting sick of politics, politics has failed the people, our politics is growing old and its probably time for the people to strive for a new system.

  • Best wish for Scott speedy recovery.

  • Twisted logic would be to blame government for our problems and seek more government for solutions.

  • "They" (Muslims) hate us for our freedom... "They" now includes the "right".

  • Very Good.

  • Wow! well said young man!

  • You see while you guys were gone fighting, Bush enacted a bill that Obama signed another 4 years too, No its not "the terrorist act" or the "the Al queda act" no its the "patriot act" And guess who its for?

  • as somebody said in a sign "the tunnel at the end of the American dream is out due to budget cuts."

  • Comment removed

  • freedom isn't free. the tree of liberty must be refreshed form time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. with these words you can expect a blood war. and i will be proud to to be on we the peoples side. i hope that only the tyrants blood would be enough but giving the fact that they have bigger better guns than i doubt we stand a chance. the longer we wait the harder we make the battle. so start a militia today and kill for your liberty don't die for it.

  • Hey....liberty and freedom mean the same thing

  • Decisions for civil behavior, society & the global economy should be "arrived at" via Science, ever-emerging technologies, reason, logic, what is best for the individual, group and the planet as a whole (i.e., what brings the least harm & most benefit), the Earth's carrying capacity & available resources and the Ethic of Reciprocity; NOT based on any one leader, bureaucracy, money & profit, personal, religious or political ideology, opinion or a popular vote. A better world is possible. TZM FTW

  • Improve OVERSIGHT on Corporations, Banks & Wall Street to prevent misbehavior; SEVERELY punish politicians who take bribes & job offers; high tariffs on corporations that move money/services/production overseas, no union busting, REPEAL Corporate Citizenship NOW! No corporate/private ownership of hospitals/prisons or natural resources, No more war-profiteering. End the Federal Reserve and manufactured scarcity & obsolescence. RAISE/ENFORCE taxes on the 1%.

  • How ironic that we just spent millions to destroy the most successful socialist country in the world whose national color was bright green. I live on the edge just like many Americans but a Robin Hood tax? OWS is an inside job, you people are ridiculous.

  • damn, RT can report!

  • @TheJoshJman RT is great, they are a lone wolf in the stream of intentional bullshit that is mainstream media.

  • @2009OLP heck yea!

  • Why Occupy? Queen Elizabeth II is the legal owner of one sixth of the land on the Earth's surface, more than any other individual or nation. This amounts to a total of 6.6 billion acres (27 million km²) in 32 countries.

    37.5% of the Earth is owned by 147 states.

    21% of the Earth is owned by 26 people.

    41% of the Earth is owned by 1% or less of the population on Earth.

    85% of the Earth's population own nothing.

  • The "RobinHood" Tax is a pet project by Georg Soros, which will afford him advantage in stock trading as he does called Positional Trading. It's a move by billionaire Soros against short term traders or "day traders" who put their money in and get out of the market minute to minute for small profits. Soros sits in the market for months and will benefit by a tax on trades that will slow the short term day traders, to prevent other people from growing their wealth by the chaotic market flux.

  • lewrockwell [DOTT] com/wenzel/wenzel138.html

    That's an article which details George Soros manipulation of occupy wall street and what he has to gain by slowing down other people making small gains off the present chaotic market fluctuation.

  • so sad..when is this violence going to stop?

  • You see how hypocrite the US establishment is ! The bombed Libya into genocide to protect some violent protesters over there but as it concerns the US they beat the hell out of every American trying to protest peacefully !

    Where's that failed UN with its NO FLY ZONE now to protect US citizens against their own authorities !

  • @Quierotortilla

    To protect some violent protesters? You really believe that?

  • Hannity hates freedom, America, and liberty.

  • @MrBlackfootfred lol, saw your page. you should probably kill yourself. life's not going to get much better for you. you're not a bitter, self loathing idiot at all, how dare I.

  • @MrBlackfootfred well done sir, that was constructive, my position is null and void. care to argue against my position, or are you just a child with a keyboard?

  • Mainstream news media needs to go. I gave up on the mainstream news channels over 10 years ago. They really are brainwashing fools who feed bull crap into brainwashed sleepers that are not awake yet which they at the trolls naysayers and haters of this world.

  • The army should kill these PIGS Now ! after what they have done

  • Well they shut him up didn't they?

  • The problem is that the corporations and the bankers are afraid of this revolution and will do anything such as sending cops to crack them down like those in Oakland and taking the heating generators from the demonstrators in OWS.

  • haha. To be honest these protests are pretty clever xD

  • Quote from Jim Morrison-"They got the guns,but we got the numbers."

  • Just what, 2 months ago, 3, there was the vet that was gunned down while waking from his bed, while his wife and child hid in closet right in front of him, due to a mix up in a drug raid.

    Or the other vet, that they raided his house, mistaken drug raid, and they shot his dog, and abused his family.

    Or a current case in detroit, while making am arrest, they shot a child threw the wall, and the guy wasnt even there.

    And they invaded Libya cause they were shooting innocent people right?

    Karma

  • Idiots,,, Robin Hood STOOL from the GOVERNMENT so they had ALL their money TAXED away so ROBIN HOOD stole from the IRS (the tax man) and THEN gave THE TAXES back to the poor OVER TAXED people,,, read your history.

  • There will be much fewer police left to do any arresting once their paychecks stop coming due to the fact that most local and state gov'ts have no money on the books to pay them.

  • its weird that a Russian tv station is telling more truth than any American media!!! HAH its just sad....
