  • You never get the whole story so im defenitely not going to agree with the protesters from just this video

  • Let them eat cake!

  • ‎"Any doctrine that weakens personal responsibility for judgement and for action helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state."

    John Dewey

  • To those who support the brutal treatment of protesters: do you not see that these people are Americans? You call them vermin, but in doing that aren't you also calling yourself vermin? It seems that there is a huge gap forming, on one side is the closed minded people and their government and on the other side stands the people who see that there is something terribly wrong with the country, and many countries. Don't choose to not see what's going on here, don't bring down fellow Americans figh

  • Keep up the good work Okland PD! We have a right to protest in this country, but when people want to riot, there's going to be a cop who gonna knock you on your *** and remind you that your not such hot **** after all.

  • I love how the same conservatives who tout their right to bear arms, are the same people talking down the occupy movement and siding with the law. guess what guys, a real revolution would get much uglier. Now go back to choosing to vote for corporate shill #1 or # 2.

  • this is called savagery END OCCUPY WALL STREET!!!

  • Good job police get rid of all these Vermin

  • They give the police and government officials too much power. Watching one of the police officers literally throw that women on pavement is shameful and cruel. Something needs to be done or we're all screwed.

  • I would like to see some violent protests with people protecting each other from the police. If we have to preotect ourselves from the people who are sworn to protect us, then it's time to kick their asses. WE THE PEOPLE, not WE THE GOV'T & POLICE!

  • The police r trying to do there job as best as they can, the people r difficult though

  • police are permitted to do whatever they want, that's why they never get charged for murder.. even if the suspect is unarmed and not resisting.. why? because this corrupt ass government is like that.. they want to make people fear authority, sad.. this country is going down the shitter.. just like Ancient Rome..

  • Awesome job by Law Enforcement..Probably more force should have been used..We thank Law Enforcement for all that they do.

  • @ttrrissttaan THERE NOT COMMUNISTS YOU FUCKIN IDIOT HOLY SHIT PEOPLE ARE DUMB!

  • @ttrrissttaan Your ignorant. That is all. You need to see the oneness of humanity instead of insult other human beings on your computer. You have no idea what your talking about your ignorant fool. People like you are pathetic. You know NOTHING about God if you say that. Evil brainwashed human you are.

  • I came here to watch see an ass kicking

  • To all those talking trash on "hippies" and "commies": THIS is the same crowd that led to equal rights for minorities in our country, THIS is the same crowd that gave women the right to vote!

    People like YOU are the same crowd that will go down in history as the BAD GUYS who tried to keep our country from evolving!

  • @ljp7c4 Thank you!!!!

  • open another tab and turn on "Deer Dance" by System of a down.

  • the police ain't right for this

  • @ttrrissttaan of course you end your statememnt with God Bless. Nuff said.

  • No Borders, No Nations, No Flags, No Patriots..

  • I fucking HATE hippies. I enjoy seeing them lose every single time. They fight back with cops and expect to get released? even one tad of tiny bit resistance against a police officer is ILLEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Why the fuck are you asking "who are you protecting?" do you think they give a fuck? They make about 95k a year and they get OVER-TIME because of you faggot poor ass freeloading volunteering hippies. Go protest more to support over-time for police officers. : ) : )

  • Enjoyed the girl in the grey sweats getting thrown around. Can't do the time......

  • Useful Idiots

  • sav taj kaos strašno što se dešava.....

  • tf' tha had 2 hurt.has hella scandless and op they got us americans and ciizens of the united states fuked upp thas juss not koo ayt all..glad 2 see tha she is o.k.

  • they really ruffed that girl up! terrible.. looked like all she was doing was chewing them out. cops need to learn how to handle nonviolent situations. they don't have the right to just throw someone to the ground like that just for being yelled at!

  • @ljp7c4 thats a teacher at my school she was only taking video on her iphone when then knocked it out her hand where it landed across the police line. all she was doing was telling them ''my phone, my phone can you get my phone.'' then they took her down

  • @cassandrajade that's so terrible! did she get hurt?

  • @ljp7c4 You obviously don't know what happened. In situations like this, the person is asked multiple times to stop and it was then up to her. She didn't, she yelled, and retaliated. It's not a "non-violent" situation and people are throwing stuff at the officers.

    I have a close family member in law-enforcement and I go to his work all the time, I know what I'm talking about.

  • @JKPfilms

    I do know what happened. I know individuals involved.

    Look at what she is actually doing and saying before she is subjected to violence by the police: she is pointing with her hand and if you read her lips, you can clearly see her mouth say "My phone!".

    She was a citizen who had just documented unprovoked police violence. Her phone was taken, then she was taken.

    I have family who work for police, but I am very concerned about this incident. Serve and protect.

  • The protesters need to start running towards the cops instead of away. the pig who ruffed up that young girl needs to get a little back alley taste of his own medicine.

  • lol, the asian at the beginning likes that...

  • to all protestors use wet scraf to cover yours faces and wash your faces by coca it's very effective agnest tear gas

  • An advertisement for an OWS video? OMG THAT IS FUCKING HILARIOUS

    The violent anti-capitalist hippies are for-profit now? They need to make up their minds.

  • @stebecool I didn't see the ad you're referring to but your comment is misinformed. There are many illegitimate groups who have tried to gain profit off of the movement. Just like there was for the tea party movement. just because the name is attached to it doesn't mean it's endorsed by the majority, or even a minority, of the OWS protesters.

  • @ljp7c4 The ad plays when you start the video. It doesn't do it every time though. Try reloading it. My beef is that OWS people are vehemently against profit, but have many videos that make profit from advertising. The Tea Party believes that profit is good, no hypocrisy.

  • @ljp7c4, notice the Tea Party movement doesnt turn into riots like these filthy leftist idiots.

  • @EastCoastDude99 GTH I am in Tea Party and I suppot these protesters fully.

  • @TheMachineX2, then go join them.

  • @stebecool this video was uploaded by the Associated Press, not the OWS movement, smart-guy.

  • the oakland protestors are worse than the ones at wal street. anarchist thugs

  • where is the USA's democracy or American people belong to harmful and non peaceful people. America stop lying on the world

  • AP is nato elites' tool.

  • Many cops, especially high level, are just bastards with guns.

  • it's the same way they'll do you and your socialist\marxist\communist brothers and sisters when they are done with you. and didn't cair join your little pity party? that alone should scare you.

  • the islamic brotherhood leader talked about revolution & how it wasn't over yet. this guy is constantly advocating the genocide of Israel & the USA's people, all of them.and the google exec was so confident he was in charge and that the muslim brotherhood wouldn't get involved in a meaningful way? he was scheduled to speak, but they, the muslim brotherhood, didn't allow him to speak.

  • вот вам и демократия....

  • @Trav1ste Your "reply" makes no sense....I'm a smart guy (trust me on that one, as I'm fairly sure your association with "smart guys" is fairly limited), but even I can't piece together the association from what I wrote to what you wrote in response. Care to elucidate / elaborate?

  • 0:12 poor women

  • ovo je sramota... kuda ide ovaj svijet....:/

  • Yes, that petite asian woman was clearly a threat...

  • @SystemFreaKk13

    I saw that also (° ̪ °)

    but keep in mind citizens aren't allowed to verbally or physically confront the cops. You can stand up for what is true and just more easily if you are not always in jail or the hospital. we should be trying to resist a faulty government, not each other. If we alienate the cops we will have a far more difficult road ahead of us. The government is a tool of the people.

  • @TruthatCearcie Still though, probably didnt need to throw her on a curb and put a knee on her back, to me that looks more like the police trying to be dramatic

  • @SystemFreaKk13

    Sigh, what can I say (° ̪ °)

  • fuck em up

  • wahooo pay for the police to continue doing a good job hahaahah keep paying

  • I was really hoping the guy at 00:50 was gonna get hit by something.

  • I bet if you all where at work you would not have been hit with tear gas and rubber bullets. Get a job

  • @dfishman76 you stupid worthless prick, even people in Uganda knows there's no jobs for everyone in the US.Get a life

  • Why would they do that to Ms. Randal.... She didnt do anything wrong

  • Hey thats me at 1:11  ha!

  • 99 percent of the time, the best answer to riot police is molotovs and live ammo. The cops are their to serve US. It's time they were reminded of that.

  • The People, United, Can Never Be Defeated

  • Good to know the cops can still tackle 90 pound teenage girls and shoot people from behind barricades. Well done guys.

  • Pazki those people were pushed towards the center of the USA and lower parts of the state. Unfortunately these ass holes that believe all the working people should give our hard earned money to lazy people...ohh yes lazy. I grew up in a shit town in a area were welfare was a way of living. My folks worked hard for us not to be like them..it worked...easy lesson to learn...you work you eat...work harder you get ahead. So when I see these liberal Berkeley fucks wasting my tax money protesting ins

  • Pazki

  • 00:35 Cute little red hand cuffs for the lady.

  • what was the reason to get that asian looking girl ? she was just shouting and it looks that after that the police men pushed her around o O

  • Lol guy at 0:51 "this is so cool!"

  • سبحان الله بداية النهاية (( نهاية العالم )) end of the world

  • solidaity from burning Greece

  • everyone of these fucking asshole so called piece of shit police should be fired then shot ... ridiculous ALL POLICE are pigs they are not protecting us at all ... we need to protect ourselves.

  • someone shoulda brought a boombox playing fuck the police

  • Fuck the pigs !

  • 0:19 Ms randal LOL!!

  • The police are the State.

  • Comment removed

  • @buru44 ...that now they're being run by terrorists. much better, huh?

  • @budwyche Dude you are so stupid. Obviously your just trying to start something. So I'll end this by saying that the reason why Wall street grew so out of hand was being of fucking idiots like yourself. Answers the real question as to whom is really to blame doesnt it? It's you whom should be blamed motherfucker. It's you and your blatant ignorance.

    And in case anyone was wondering I left a simple comment that said, this video reminds me of Egypt when they were ousting their dictator.

  • @buru44 your reply is both ignorant and childish. you do know that even useful idiots outlive their usefulness? maybe you should do a little research before you start with the petty name calling. if you collapse the system is it really to your advantage to have the dollar devalued and the economy destabilized? you do know that all the luxuries you now enjoy will go away and all the debt accumulated will effect your future more than mine. hope you can live with your choices.

  • @budwyche Lol what are you talking about. I think you have extreme issues for sure. Instead of owning up to the fact that your an ignorant prick who claims that Egypt is being run by terrorists your telling me to do my research on something that I never commented on. I never said anything about the dollar, or about the collapse of the system. You are seriously retarded. Some trying to sound intelligent. Your initial comment says it all, and it says your stupid.

  • @buru44 so you avoid dealing with the real issues behind ows by name calling, that'll get you far (end sarcasm). and unless you don't watch or read the news you'd know that the muslim brotherhood is a terrorist organization and is in the process of punishing or killing anyone that doesn't agree with their philosophy, namely infedels which is what they would considered you. they have no love for communist or socialist. good luck commrade, you're going to need it.

  • @budwyche But there is no promise that the Muslim Brotherhood will have complete control. Besides the Egyptian people are strongly against their politics because they are being funded by the U.S and Israel. Did you know that? Why would the Egyptian people want to reinstate power to the same people who put Mubarak in control. Honestly stick to American politics.

  • @buru44 maybe it is you who should pay more attention. what about the google exec who was taking credit for starting the arab spring in egypt? he said the muslim brotherhood was not a power in the revolution. then a day or so after the toppling of the egyptian government the islamic brotherhood's top leader spoke in front of a crowd of over 1 million people.

  • What? The police are a tool of the rich? Well that's news to me!

  • no the police were brutal and used excessive force. there was no need for that.

  • arrest the felonious pigs. Unless its OK to throw flash bangs at them why would it be OK to throw them at citizens exercising their legal rights?

  • arrest the pigs

  • The 1st Amendment; "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." The Cops just wiped there asses with the 1st Amendment the next stage is Civil War.

  • Ms randal.......

  • You guys dont get, the government need more money and more taxes!!!

  • This is an example real life NWO police fascism.

  • If you idiots wouldn't be out there in the first place this would have never happened..... 

  • @ddickey111 you are a disgrace to what America stands for.

  • @butterflyer01 I'm sorry you feel that way but you are incorrect. I have no problem with people voicing their opinions and exercising their 1st ad rights, but when people begin attacking (verbally or physically) the men and women in uniform that's when it crosses the line. The police are their to do a job. Crowd control. When the crowd gets too large and out of control this is what happens and unfortunately people get hurt. The protesters are at fault as much as the police for allowing this

  • @ddickey111 The protestor who was shot in the face was wearing his uniform.. He is a war-vet. How is his life and liberty of less importance than that of the cops? WHO are they to shoot (even tear-gas cannisters) anything at ANY unarmed American citizen?

  • @annebeck58 if you act like a thugs, throw rocks and bottles, and chant kill the pigs that is how you should be treated and to expect anything different is lunacy.

  • @annebeck58 what happened to the vet is very unfortunate and i obviously do not agree with it all. And never did i say his life is less important or any of the protestors... BUT you can not tell me a cop shot them in the face on purpose. There are so many things going down all at once, that was an accident..

  • @ddickey111 It was not an accident. These cops, specifically, were trained by the same animals who shoot Palestinians in the face (and Westerners in the face, including Americans) in Palestine. Nobody accidentally hits a stationary target. Scott was standing, very still, and was not even speaking when shot in the FACE. These cops are well aware of the lethal power of this sort of munition, yet, they chose to use it.

    I bet you think, "rubber-bullets", are rubber, too.., right?

  • @annebeck58 hockey pucks are vulcanized rubber, same density as rubber bullets lol, so why then do hockey goalies wear heavy pads?

  • @annebeck58 they hurt less than bullets at least

    

  • @ddickey111 this is such an ignorant comment. were you there? the police came in and gassed people sleeping, people meditating. they brutalized many of us with zero provocation, beat and jailed over 110 peaceful protester, nine of whom (one being my daughter) have still not been released, though they've been charged with no crimes. wanna know why they were not charged??? BECAUSE WE COMMITTED NO CRIMES.

  • What brave men those pigs are...it only took 3-4 of them to slam down a 90-lb. girl...

  • Most of these cats just like having something to do on a slow Tuesday night.

  • All of this has already happened here in Spain, and few cops have paid for their brutality against peaceful and unarmed crowds. I hope you have better luck in USA.

  • You know, it does not look like the protesters were "clashing" with anyone.

    Seems to me it's the COPS that are doing all of that.

    And, it is complete bullshit.

  • 0:26 That policeman is a real bastard.

  • @Hetnaset yeah shes real nice

  • That was nice of the officer to put that guys knit cap back on his head. That he probably bought at The Gap for $25.

  • That's fucked up , that women is so tiny , they really don't needa grab her like that , wtf

  • Comment removed

  • Its only a matter of time until the protestors start firing back.

  • Infected by Arabs spring, injustice is covering all over the world.

  • The fucking police are so high on their on supposed superiority they've turned into little hitlers.

  • ACAB

    Hold on! Greetings from Poland:)

  • USA is spreading terror around middle east for ages, now it's time to spread it around their own people, who are tired and frustrated of what is going on in their own country. Europe falls cause of failure ideas of entire UE and muslim imigration (it's not that I hate you guys, we are totally different from each other and you know that). World as we know is at it's very end. We need radical changes and ban US occupation of Middle East and freedom for Palestina.

  • This is your democracy?

  • @carminiello I know, right? THIS is what we want to spread all over the world? No wonder nobody wants to buy into this wonderful system.

  • ACAB!

  • REAL TOUGH GUY @ 0:28

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • this is end of world ...

    sad but true.

  • ww3 is here. us vs them

  • This is what is happening in Palestine, Iraq, Syria and Yemen. The protesters are experiencing what's been going on during the Arab Revolution. The question is will other countries demand that the United States government respect the Human Rights of its citizens to protest peacefully?

  • lol @ the stupid screaming bitch that got handcuffed

    hopefully she's learned not to scream at agitated cops

  • @0prahTV they broke her phone when she was recording i know you would be very mad if a cob broke your phone for just recording

  • I don't understand what's wrong with you people, the police seems to bee pretty nice . Look at 0:45, the officer even puts the gentlemans hat back on his hat.

  • "Raw Video: Protesters Clash With Oakland Police" ???

    SHOULD BE OAKLAND POLICE ATTACK PEACEFUL PROTESTERS - please edit your title :o( One of which is in danger of dying in hospital RIGHT NOW (an Iraq veteran, no less, that fought and risked his life for YOUR COUNTRY.

  • @sewellanne I agree,  saying that the protesters "clashed" with these pigs makes it appear that they were the instigators, while that's obviously not the case.

  • @annebeck58 Exactly... thanks :o)

  • AMERICAN NAZI POLICE

    BANKS RULEZ

  • Ur silence about iraq & afghanistan war backfired on u...that's something:)

  • What the hell? Yeah.. That TINY little woman REALLY needed 3 or more cops to throw her around like a ragdoll, because she was SUCH an enormous threat. *Rolls eyes*

  • @BreakerInc NEED TO WATCH VIDEO AGAIN...WAS ONLY ONE THAN HANDLED HER.

  • Yeah, look who causes terror in the streets during these protests. Not the protesters, the police. How horrid and how predictable. Only mentally abused people seek authority over others, give them that authority and they'll abuse it without consequence, while hiding behind phrases like "protect and serve". You cannot govern people, it doesn't work- it's coercive and immoral.

  • I see BIG BROTHER in all his glory creeping in plain sight. It was hidden for years, but since 9/11, it is hard to argue with the so called conspiracy theories of a police state. DEMOCRACY DIED IN PLAIN SIGHT WHILE MOST SAT AT HOME AND WATCH THE WHOLE THING ON CNN AND DID NOTHING! God help the next generation that will have to deal with this new form of slavery!

  • Are we still in America people? I thought this was that woman the killed in Iran for protesting. This threatment of civilian protest has no place in the supposedly greatest democracy in the world! We are officially worst than the dictators in the middle east!

  • The cops work for the government and the politicians. The politicians work for the corporations that give them contributions. We are being taxed, fee’d and fined to death so the public employees can rob the public piggy bank. 60 thousand public employees are getting paid retirement for 30 years and are rehired by the state to their old positions at the same pay (double dipping). They are flat out stealing from the American people. That’s what the cops are protecting!

  • @tommytbp Okay You're 100% right whats your idea to stop this?

  • Revolution now!!!
