Police brutality against Occupy Wall Street protesters worse than in Iraq says US marine

[jmoney31705]

beat up all the slackers! they never worked when there were jobs anyway, i doubt anyone of them ever made more than $20k a year

[bearsareticklish]

This guy is a true Hero! Nominate him for cnn hero Awards

[MrStjohns2013]

Sergeant Thomas you are a true American Hero thank you for serving and thank you for what you are doing now. This is Vietnam War all over again, the same exact thing is happening. What is wrong with America that we keep shitting on peoples rights and try to protect others. Bring our troops home and work on the problems here. Communism in the 60s is Terrorism now. It is the boogeyman that the government uses as an excuse.

[anonymoususer0999]

I met that dude at OLV =D.. ITS TIME FOR REVOLUTION!!

[kaziabir1]

FUCK THE POLICE!!! THEY LOOKED LIKE BUNCH OF PUSSIES IN FRONT OF THAT MARINE. WHERE THE HELL IS THAT SMILE NOW? those fuckers didn't dare to tackle him...wtf.. We need our troops in here at home fighting for OUR rights...fuck Iraq we got a fucking war going on right here.

[roman11777]

In one month US soldiers will be forced to do this to civilians from their own countries.

How do I know this? Bill S.1867. Look it up.

[tonyasbigmouth]

@citizen0430 so your basically aimless right now hoping for a leader who can put your frustration into a vision? here's my vision for you. stop wasting city resources and start focusing on a real executable solution. collect your top thinkers and create your own financial opportunities. hire each other.

[eye2eyeize]

RIGHT GHOST! PS NWO DIE.

i support the right to protest 100%. i don't support a disorganized movement  without leadership or a real point. on top of that a criminal element is moving within the protest making it difficult to take this serious at all. some people just like to shout and protest. others simply want to interact with cops and create chaos. everyone is simply complaining about different things. they could do that better on youtube comments.

[citizen0430]

@tonyasbigmouth All grassroots protests start with a sense of frustration and confusion. That's the nature of the beast. There will be time enough for a leader to organically emerge. Right now, people deserve to air their frustrations.

[Whoshotmyrifle]

he looks like flo rida hahahahahaha

[browneyedgirl65]

Would love to see a full transcript or a corrected caption for this so deaf folks can follow this as well...!

[chowhound3]

He was in iraq for 14 months ya putz

[Zmblover]

This Marine should know about preventative measures, he went "...14 times..." to Iraq for them.

[Zmblover]

These cops HAVE to react like this. If they do not thin the herd, it will get ugly. Your saintly protesters will get too many and too angry. Your precious protesters WILL get violent. This is the logical next step. Just the reaction from them to the preventative measures against this violence is proof enough that they are working their way up to it.

[ThePuckington]

@Zmblover I saw a woman get knocked out from being punched by a police officer. Violence is not the answer, these protesters are telling everyone to wake up and the police are enforced to beat these people to make the people look like the bad guys. I bet most of the brutality wont be shown on camera but the reaction of the mass will, so they will make the protesters look like rioters and that will be in your newspaper. 

[Zmblover]

@ThePuckington But these cops that you damn are the same ones that keep you from getting skullfucked by sociopaths. So when should they stop doing that job? When a cop says move, you listen. You get out of fists way so you won't get punched. I know I should have sympathy for my fellow women, so sayeth most ignorant women, but holy crap, how is that not understood. If the police tell you to leave/move, you go.

[Zmblover]

@ThePuckington If a cop needs to punch a women so he can get back to his job of arresting drug dealers and rapist, bitch is going to have a black eye. I really hope crime goes up in these cities, due to the authorities being busy with stinky, topless hippies that don't even know why they are there. Serves them right.

[AxeVEVO]

@Zmblover Exactly. If Shamar Thomas thinks the whole war is bullshit and stupid then he doesn't need to be wearing those medals around like he is proud of what he did. I would bet a years pay that every Commanding Officer had a little talk the next day with their troops about doing shit like this in uniform. For one it is against regulations. Thomas knew this and did it anyway. All he wanted was the 15 minutes of fame those medals were not already getting him.

[citizen0430]

@Zmblover Really? You think cops are here to protect us? What Koolaid have you been drinking? Law enforcement is designed to protect the wealthy.

Also, who says these people don't know why they're there? What are you talking about. Have you even been to any of these protests?

[1liveandlearn11]

@Zmblover ever hear of the tree of liberty? It does have to be watered from time to time, sometime politicians forget who they work for.

[mcget1999]

This is a decent man, a man with a clear vision--and a loud voice.

[ekjohndeer]

There are laws in a Free Country, and there are police that have to inforce them .

75% of these people don't have clue

[frostbytet17]

@ekjohndeer they are not breaking any laws it is a peaceful protest that was erupted by the police, we as Americans are protected under the Constitution for free Speech as long as we do no harm unto others.

[ekjohndeer]

@frostbytet17 Protesting is great but when crimes are up, people can't clean up after themselfs and making it hard for other people living and working in the area. look at the Tea Party protest no crime, no arrest , clean up after themselfs and made there point! 75% of the protesters are making the 25% look like crap

[frostbytet17]

@ekjohndeer whats the difference between what the tea party wants and what #Occupy is about?

[blackened144]

Shamar has a problem with the cops wearing guns while the protesters are "unarmed".. Should the cops only be as "armed" as the protesters.. If the "unarmed" protesters are throwing rocks and bottles is that all the police should be allowed to do, respond by throwing more bottles and rocks? And since when are people throwing rocks and bottle considered "unarmed"?

[NotNearlyNormalProd]

@blackened144 Should the cops only be as "armed" as the protesters...Maybe it's time for the protesters to arm themselves like the cops...keep it up d#$%^bags and we will see cities on fire...this is not going away

[fishteeth2]

Yes, it's just awful that police are using suicide bombers, car bombs, heavy machine guns, IEDs, and mortars against the Occupy protestors!

[chucktowne]

@2002lees I suppose you have access to military information to know what is going on with the soldiers in Iraq today. I guess the extremists just gave up in Iraq and those recent bombings that happened were just accidents then. I (not me) think you are a headstrong know it all who knows nothing. Also known as a NUT.

[2002lees]

If Shamar Thomas just got back from Iraq, it means he spent all his time on the base.........Me thinks the nut be lyin'

[blackngoldfan2004]

worse than Iraq? Yeah. Okay. Bullets must have really been flying. Get over yourselves, hippies. If you weren't acting like assholes in the streets, the police wouldn't have to drag your sorry asses away.

[arseniyonline1234555]

is it optical illusion or could that man actually stamp them all pigs out like ants?

[eclipsemullet]

Need proof of what a shite channel RT is? Look at their record on conspiracy theories.

They are a joke of a news channel.

[sabengry]

Sergeant Thomas, please stop working for the criminal regime that would allow the beating and kidnapping of it's own citizens.

[artinmey]

Who do we trust then, Fox News?

[LiesMcLizzy]

What this man did, is beautiful. No fear but standing up for his fellow human beings. Respect!

[khorn1994]

if the cops want a war zone. give them one. if they kill a protester. kill them all. simple.

[eclipsemullet]

Russia Today can't be taken seriously.

[hektekshuffler]

@eclipsemullet If you actually watched the video and listened to it, you would understand..

[djshelleymack]

@eclipsemullet Maybe so, but name one media organisation that can? They all have their editorial line to follow and various agendas.

[carnage4907]

@eclipsemullet I love when idiots make blank statements like this eclipsmullet guy. You're a fucking joke.

[Greyhound1405]

World wide we pay taxes to employ police to protect the rich. Well done Shamar.
