FOX: Protester roughed up by police #2, St. Paul, MN, RNC, Sept 4th 2008

[2wheels88]

Why are police so millitarised and using these tactics on obviously peaceful protesters? Watch Police State 2000.police State 2, police State 3 and 4, the documentaries will explain the reason and its happening in all north America

[Intrepidinv]

Why are they questioning the police when they did not have to be there in the first place? She could have left at any time - her behavior is unexcusable. Its all on her.

[olivedt]

I have an idea. Leave when you are given a lawful order.

[bbree333]

@olivedt

I have an idea. Suck my dick! No really.

[KontractKiller]

@olivedt

what was she doing wrong that she couldn't be standing in a public street???

the police of this once great nation have gone from protecting & serving to a much more militant type of police work... just look at a picture of a cop from 20 years ago or so & then look at a cop today... their all dressed in military style clothing... they all have full automatic assault rifles in their cars... we have the same crime rate as we did in the 80's here in mn & yet their tactics changed... why?

[wanker222222]

LOl WTF is happening to her Face?

[bigc028282]

fucking cops. they should have identification numbers so they cant hide behind masks. charges should have been file against those that assaulted her. they should have arrested her right away. instead you can see for yourself what they did. How the fuck, after the Vietnam era protesting, did that generation become such sellouts. they are the ones on council's and are the most elected officials in office today. this is the shit that brought about deaths in Ohio. will it happen again?

[theedgeinshow]

welcome to america

[bigc028282]

Amerika

[offspring52487]

What the fuck is wrong with the reporter? The way her face is mutating is pretty disturbing...

[MrTunedin]

Yes, she looks like the leporard woman. That girl in the video getting sprayed has got some guts though. Right on,power to the people!

[NotDavidM]

fuck her, she shouldve just left

[snozzcumbers]

they should have sprayed her all day and see what she does then

[vmahodge]

Taser that bitch

[biohax]

i bet george washington would spray her face with chemicals too

[Tebbra]

What's up with the reporter's face?

[DimmuB]

Reptilian

[Tebbra]

How so? Have you ever seen this happen on TV or just youtube?

[iggy6]

This is disgusting. This is what happens when you allow unknown, out-of-town "police" to come into your towns. During the RNC 2008, Homeland Security and FBI vans where everywhere. And who knows who else? As stated before, many journalists noted that most police purposefully hid their badges and when asked, would not show or tell their badge numbers, which is against the law for law enforcement. That is why I think they were "private contractors" who were possibly deputized. Blackwater?

[pi0101]

She wanted to be arrested.

[cpdlife4me]

This isn't the 60's. Dumbass should have moved on, plain and simple.

this isn't about free speech or any of that shit, this is about a dumb bitch thinking she's special......guess what? YOUR NOT!

[Twiggles02]

Amen, at least some people realize the truth.

[jofo817]

her rapid blinking is suspicious

[maskedmosher]

to me it looks like some one was slowly fadeing in something from a second camera with the use of a fader bar.

[nigelparry]

No it was just an encoding error on the original file uploaded to their website. I saw an unrelated story from FOX with the same effect happening...

[wickes69]

What a fat moron. Representative of the Democratic Party.

[thelibertyblog]

Wow, the pig-lice are certainly keeping us safe from a single peaceful protester. What fucking disgraceful and disgusting actions by these absolute fucking pigs. Welcome to neo-con America. If this could happen to her this will certainly one day be you.

[truthspeaker969]

yep, life is hard in russia....

[doctorsarahbear2007]

Jamesfreeman76... you are heartless. Seriously how could you joke about something like that?!?!!? What happened to her is terrible.

[Editrgnome]

Shapeshifter!

[NZtrillion]

why has no one mentioned the strange scaly faced lizard type transformation of the reporter? or is it only me who sees it?

[MissUtena]

Yeah, I saw that too. I thought it was in my head and kinda freaked out.

[gdg58]

who are these communist thug useless cops? we need names.

[poopsikinz]

kill cops

[steamer1112]

The police don't even need a reason to riot. I guess if they're bored or something at the station they all decide to go find themselves a nice group of peaceful protesters and beat the hell out of them. Heck, they've got all those nice new toys to try out too. They can cook them with the new microwave cannon. Maybe they'll just go old school and fire some nice rubber bullets at peoples heads. Whatever they do always remember that the police are you're friends.

[steamer1112]

Once again cops being fascists.  It shows us that we are the enemy and the corporations and their political lackeys will do anything to keep us down.

[WunderMaus]

Reporter Trish Van Pilsum is a true example in the finest traditions in American journalism. Her bravery and integrity are evident by her steadfast commitment to bear witness to the abuses of power upon a peacefully protesting American Citizen exercising what is left of her rights. There is little doubt that her professional career is in jeopardy by her professionalism being in direct conflict with official corporate directives. Two courageous women were revealed to the public in that report.

[nigelparry]

amen. both revealed themselves as beacons of hope in this time of endless war...

[Twiggles02]

Beacons of hope!?!

God damn would you call me a beacon of hope if I layed down in a highway?

WTF are you talking about, she isn't a beacon of hope, she a sign of how dumb the nation's youth are these days.

She deserved it all for 3 reasons:

1)Shes a dumbass

2)Shes fat

3)I can't think of a third, but she's still fat.

[steamer1112]

You'll of course be on the sidelines cheering the cops until they come for you. Then, you'll scream and cry like the child that you are.

[Twiggles02]

They cops won't be coming for me, because I'm not a dumbass.

[dilbertgeg]

Millions of Americans gave their lives in wars to fight totalitarianism, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Franco, Saddam Hussein. (Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Saddam, and many other vicious thugs had US support, overt or covert.)

There's always been breed of Americans that is gleeful about strongmen dictators, glorified Hitler and Jesus, hates democracy & the Constitution, hates EVERYTHING about American values except their bling or religion, simply hates America. They call themselves 'patriotic'.

[Twiggles02]

No, they people you are talking about are the anarchists that were being dumbasses at the protests. I am suprised at your stupidity also, glorifying Hilter and Jesus?! Do you know what hitler did?! Persecuted what Jesus was, a Jew!

God you're a dumbass.

[MissUtena]

Do you ever think for yourself?

[MissUtena]

Your grammar would indicate otherwise.

[Twiggles02]

If you mean she's a fox news bitch then yes, she is an example in the finest traditions in American journalism.

[tiptoptilly]

Twiggles02 you are an ignorant insignificant fuck. Very mature to bring weight into this, I'm sure you are in tiptop shape (rolls eyes). This girl was standing up in the face of fear mongering fascism.

The cops won't be coming for you because you are a coward and they are worried about the lazy assholes that can only talk shit from their computer.

[Twiggles02]

Well then lets arrange a meeting, between the two of us, then we'll see who is the lazy asshole that can only talk shit from their computer.

I was there at the RNC, and I can tell you that the protesters were heard without this bitch throwing a fit to get onto TV.

[tiptoptilly]

Lets. I was there too, as a legal observer, and no a lot of people weren't "heard." Like the over 80 members of the media that were jailed/gassed/or wrongly intimidated.

Have you ever been pepper sprayed once? Forget multiple times like this girl, it's not pretty. Inappropriate and excessive police force by people protesting a war that is costing taxpayers trillions of dollars, unacceptable.

[Twiggles02]

No, i haven't been pepper sprayed, because i'm not a fucking dumbass, like this bitch. As for the over 80 members of the media being jailed, how many were from fox? 75?

[MissUtena]

No, you haven't been pepper-sprayed because you're content to eat up whatever society and the government tell you to, which keeps you complacent, stupid, and un-confronted with reality.

[Twiggles02]

So you got pepper-sprayed because you couldn't understand the statement "You are going to be pepper-sprayed if you do not move"? And you pull out the grammar card? Everyone knows you only pull that out when you loose an arguement. Guess I won.

[Stramii]

Hell yeah you won!

[Darthwannabe]

Thank you! if a cop in riot gear with balls and spray told me to move i'd fucking move, not sit there and get the shit beat out of me just to hold up two peace signs and show 'resistance to the fascist police state'

[bigc028282]

and thats why we all keep getting f@#ked out of our rights. maybe 4 dead in ohio will be the catalyst again.

[aphidx]

So, the only reason this reporter didn't get HER ass beat for recording this is because she was from FOX news. Had she been with a small newspaper, taking pictures, she would have gotten the shit kicked out of her. Our government has gotten way out of hand.

[ispywithmycameraeye]

well they sure went above and beyond the call of duty there... great job guys! ughh :( that's rediculas

[skinnychef]

hi nigel! thanks for posting this!

finally FOX put up something worth seeing! I am totally amazed!

best!

xoxox

skinnychef

[nophonies]

That young lady, whomever she is, is a real hero. We'll see a lot more of this is Palin gets in office.

[nynetailz]

They attcked her with bicycles?? Wow. Good on Trish for standing her ground and reporting this, just when I thought the msm wasn't talking about the excessive use of force during the RNC.

[alarmhtx]

Holy crap. So whack that Fox even gets the whackness. This is senseless to use this kind of force to try and move someone, especially when the day culminated in mass arrests.

Sadistic.

[gdfsob]

How can you tell that the cops are doing something WRONG? They try & get rid of the media, so their's no evidence.

[skinnychef]

and they arrest and confiscate and dupe the indie media's tapes for the same purpose.

[sorathecrimson]

Yes..and how whacked is it that they assumed that FOX would show them in a good light, that they didn't try really hard to get rid of them?

Good for this reporter. You can tell that she is trying to walk a fine line between coming right out against the cops and being "fair and balanced". She got the idea out without being too obviously pissed. Perfect. Maybe this will make some FOX fans think.
