OccupyOakland protests - Navyman stands in tear gas.filled Police Firestorm

[fightingwolf18]

Those cops don't look too aggressive and hateful to me. There's a lot of gimme-gimme slime and other unsavory types in OWS, I.e. "pay my tuition for me, because I deserve it.

These cops are just making sure no one goes on a rampage like a couple of those mobs have done. If you ask me, egging these guys to shoot is a bad idea, and extremely self-righteous. These cops should have been at the port when OWS mobs shut it down. How is obstructing commerce going to help anyone?

[JD06STi]

Wake up police, they are going to steal your pensions too. They are poisoning your food, water, and air just like us. You are not part of the power structure like they make you think you are. We are on the same side. Wake the fuck up!

[cmcbbill]

An UNARMED Navy Man in Dress Uniform with a flag and the Constitution in hand and cops in in riot gear, 1 with his tactical 12ga, FINGER ON THE TRIGGER, at the ready??? maybe the flag and book are weapons of mass destruction....stupid fukin cops

[exmark316]

You have brought tears to my eyes.

[exmark316]

Thank you.

[mlynn1231]

watch Max Igan's "The Awakening"

[mlynn1231]

9 people think a tyrannical police state is in the best interest of America.

[aerotro]

@mlynn1231 - Well when the Curfews start, and they find they can't go to the local store late at night without dodging in alley ways for cover those 9 people will regret giving a thumbs down, by then it will be too late because when they object they will be shot.

[weeklongwarrior]

They do what they are told by those above them, you blame the cops in general when they are only doing their job so that they can make a living for their family. If they didnt do what they were told they would be out on the street without a job. If you want to blame someone, blame the guy behind the big fucking desk, not these men and women.

[002Believe]

@weeklongwarrior @weeklongwarrior we cant blame the cops? anyone with a bit of morals knows this is wrong. i dont give a fuck if God told me to do this shit, i wouldnt. id lose my job before id shoot and tear gas innocent protesters that are trying to make a change that would actually help me out too. you need to check yourself.

[SeanCeesiu]

Stanley Milgram anyone? These police would do well to read about these experiments on obedience.

[Jtronique]

THANK YOU on VETERANS DAY 2011

[thecryptkicker5]

I dont think the cops have even read the constitution..

[kerryda]

@thecryptkicker5 Ignorance of the Law does not excuse misconduct in anyone, least of all a sworn officer of the law.

[JsGoneBy]

one of those "cops" about :40 Shot Scot Olsen in the Face!

Who was standing next to this Navy Guy minutes earlier.

His Brother soldier just fell and he is standing there for Me and You!

In Peace

[davenslice]

@Chasgn1 who is exploiting who? Him exploiting the military? Or is the military exploiting him since he apparently can't participate in protest while wearing the uniform that is more than happy to send him off to god knows where to die...When someone volunteers to die fighting for what this country used to stand for...they should be able to wear whatever the hell they want whenever the hell they want...period.

[dejavuga]

censored?



[AirlayLeekoh]

when he signed up for service, he knew of the 2nd amendment and his duty to uphold and defend the will of the people. i commend this officer. this is non partisan. mocking a movement only shows the fear that lies within. i extend a thank you to this armed service member!

[900DucatiSS]

The term is "Sailor" and it's against regs to wear your uniform to a protest (or riot) so who knows if he's for real.

[AirlayLeekoh]

@900DucatiSS you really want to get into rules and regs? it's also his duty to uphold the constitution and protect the will of the people. thanks for trolling, did you come from liveleak? lol

[900DucatiSS]

@AirlayLeekoh He's not upholding the Constitution by helping the unions, anarchists and the Soros funded, America hating pressure groups that started this mob to trash other peoples property to deflect attention off of the incompetence of the current government.

As a former SAILOR I can tell you that he ought to know better.

[AirlayLeekoh]

@900DucatiSS i don't hate America, i highly doubt the navy officer hates America. thanks for attempting to demean me via comment. in fact, i LOVE America

that's what is great about America. we have the freedom to choose our political pathways.

god bless the freedom of choice and freewill of man.

i never condoned the trashing of any personal property in my comment.

if you are a said serviceman, i thank you for your service, i'm no an ungrateful uneducated prick, don't get me corkscrewed as one.

[900DucatiSS]

@AirlayLeekoh Fair enough.

[AirlayLeekoh]

[900DucatiSS]

@AirlayLeekoh And?

[rolovolo]

Be very aware of the 'agents provocateur', 'black block' (undercover cops) planted by the elite in peaceful protests, so they start some violence and the police can go against all the peaceful protesters labeling them as 'rioters'. They are easy to spot once you are awake, you can feel their low frequency vibration (also usually dress all in black and always cover their faces). Identify, Expose and Expel them. Their plan is to impose Martial Law. watch?v=MaeuV2RNL3o

[hera1811]

ORDO AB CHAO. Order from Chaos. that's why they like to create chaos, in order to impose THEIR ORDER.

People, beware! Fight and think, think and fight.

[thebachu786]

great footage

[tlfettled]

This video carries HUGH amount of impact, get ready looks like this might get serious!

[WETDREAMCARCLUB]

Wow. Very strong.

[TheBakstabr]

why can't people just live their fuckin lives and leave shit alone!?! Cops wouldn't be this way if people didn't act like they were 5 years old

[SolarGamer]

its funny how people are now realizing that the american goverment is a big scam.

[desfend]

@SolarGamer But i bet your a big supporter of the 1st amendment

[boodabill]

Laws have been passed thwt make it illegal in most cities to protest in the streets. But if you can't disrupt traffic, you no longer have the same impact. Still, I believe that peacfefully occupying parks creates a presence that can't be ignored.

[AnotherNutJob]

@boodabill Any statute, regulation, or ordinance becomes null and void when it attempts to take away, limit or deprive someone of their constitutionally guaranteed rights.

[boodabill]

The police have no excuse for violating the people's constitutional rights to peacefully assemble. To say that they are following orders is similar to the nazi police (and others) who turned in their own citizens to be gassed. At some point police officers have to draw a line as to what's right.

navy guy the best show then ho boss

[Lightitupp1]

Funny to read some comments of Americans that oppose this. Are you blind to what is happening to your country and to the world? " If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks…will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered " - Thomas Jefferson Guess what , the federal reserve is a private bank. Who does exactly this.

[chiliconcarne2006]

navy guy is cool....the rest are douche bags

[perry911]

"Evil is evil does"

[lance4178]

Hey @gypsyheart59baby, Ron Paul voted against the bailout you moron. He has fought for Liberty & Freedom all of his carrier. Also, the polititions could have let the banks & brokerages fail. Don't blame Wall Street for the bailouts, that was done 100% by big government Washington polititions, period. Washington could have stopped the firms from doing "default swaps" & creating the final nail in the coffin. Washington also could have stopped Fannie May & Freddie Mac from starting the collaps.

[funnyshthere]

bunch of hippies and pigs

[lance4178]

Funny, I have been to both Tea Party protests & OWS protests & not once did I ever see a Tea Party participant throwing rocks & bottles at the police or being arrested. I have been to 3 OWS protests, all of which I saw people spewing anti-semitism & hatered for America. Free market capitalism is not the problem, CRONIE capitalism IS the problem. Get polititions out of Big Business & Wall Street & get the lobbyists out of the polititions pockets.

[MrTVintro]

@Chasgn1 The police don't see regular citizens they see anarchist communist hippie bastards, if a uniform finally makes them see protesters as citizens and human beings he should wear it.

[gypsyheart59baby]

Ron Paul for President.... PLEASE READ & PASS ON... He IS the LAST HOPE.

.by Tamara Lee Belleville-Marsden on Tuesday, 01 November 2011 at 09:45

PLEASE vote FOR RON PAUL... wake up AMERICA. follow my facebook page for truths... pass this on...

[MrTVintro]

@gypsyheart59baby Ron Paul and every single presidential candidate are thugs whose only objective is to give bailouts, put guns in the hands of children and turn the USA in to a dictatorship.

I wish i was being insulting unfortunately i'm speaking the truth.

[machaeroguy]

@MrTVintro "give bailouts" Pls, wise up. Ron Paul has said the bailouts are unconstitutional, and has also said they represent a corporatist (synonym for "fascist") system. watch?v=M806u1brf2I

Look forward to a lot more tear gas, rubber bullets, warrantless wiretaps, TSA everywhere, military drones used on U.S. citizens, banker ripoffs, and wars of aggression, and much more if Paul does not get the nomination.

[MrTVintro]

@machaeroguy I think i remember Obama promising changes....

[machaeroguy]

@MrTVintro Ron Paul has been saying the same stuff for over 30 years. There are tons of videos of him saying the same things during his 1988 Presidential bid as a Libertarian. He is often criticized for being too ideological, and not pragmatic, but never for flip-flopping or contradicting himself. Indeed my friend, the people that hate him, hate him because they believe him. In contrast, anyone with half a brain, knew Obama was a disingenuous liar, before he even secured the nomination.

[MsKnowledgeSeeker]

@Chasgn1 Imagine a large group of UNIFORMED police protesting to what

is going wrong in this country. Standing up FOR THE PEOPLE ~

in which they are a part of - not separate like some tend to think they are. That would be awesome to see!

To see our main forces begin to come together for the greater good. If more of them would stand up and make a stance like this Navy man it would really make a statement FOR THE PEOPLE!

[bigmikey1979]

@Chasgn1 whatta troll punk

[ritchie222]

American way of life. Ahahah

[chico280]

This pisses me off.  I'm going to go listen to some Rage Against The Machine.

[1ofbyandforthepeople]

@Chasgn1 He is protecting his country, there is no reason to stand on some ridiculous rule when the rule is way less important than THE LIFE AND RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE THAT PAID FOR THAT THE BOOK THOSE RULES ARE WRITTEN IN AND WHO ARE HIS FRIENDS, RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS. Next thing you'll say is if someone is yelling for help they had better use proper grammar. Wake up, those cops are willing to injure and kill and you worry about a rule?

[1ofbyandforthepeople]

I would be so ashamed of myself and my fellow officers if I was one of those cops that I would quit the force, and that is what they should all do. The cops need to be pitied, not hated, hate does nothing more than make them pull towards using more violence against the people they are sworn to protect. They have been brainwashed and they have been convinced that it is somehow right to get some kind of sick thrill out of abusing people and they will awaken from that as if from a deep sleep.

[aerotro]

@Chasgn1 - It is also Unprofessional for cops to beat up unarmed civilians they bring shame on the uniform their wearing, search google for: "The Oakland Officer That Shot Scott Olsen"

and also search for "Federal judge orders TN to stop arresting Occupy Nashville protesters"

[kerryda]

@aerotro Force and wrong are greatly contrary to peace.

[amadtyper]

What do you know? They are doing they job for once now.

[jason73015]

civilians should carry bear mace against the cops

[wpmk]

It's obvious hyperbole to describe what is going on in this clip as "a police firestorm". 

[jbrider555]

I can't believe what's happening. They said it was coming. It's here.

This is perfect....pristine...god love this sailor's heart ==THIS is serving your country and from all of us here in the U.S. Thank You!!!!!

I am PROUD to be "American" and so ASHAMED of the "police".

[tjhillgardner]

These cops would have had no problem herding the Jews onto the trains to the concentration camp. They are concerned only with their addiction to money so that they can pay their mortgages. That comes first. Genocide takes a back seat. Terrorizing peaceful protesters is nothing by comparison. They are all "good Germans."

This is the greatest 'symbolic' gesture in the face of tyranny. The greatest single most responsible, peaceful, lawful, ACT that any American can do right now is sign their documents to become a citizen of the Republic for the united States of America and get the hell out of this de facto corporation! Go here: w dot republic for the united states dot org and also go to w dot republic s g dot info There has NEVER been anyone to blame only a choice to make!

[dpecora86]

I stand corrected

[UrAwestruck]

Seems like an epic staring contest

[pentegom]

This is a typical example of police behaviour.

Humans are easily persuaded into doing such things when the responsibility is taken away. Their bosses probably said to them "Don't worry, I'll be responsible."

That's all it takes to corrupt and control.

This is a beautifully valiant thing to do. Brilliant guy!

[abledanger01]

America is a constitutional republic. it never was meant to be a democracy. in fact its founding fathers chose a constitutional republic because they new that in a democracy your rights can be taken away. anyone that tries to go against your constitution is a traitor to the republic. anyone that describes your country as a democracy is trying to undermine your republic and is a traitor.

what is the law concerning traitors in your constitutional republic?

6. OFF-POST DEMONSTRATIONS BY SERVICE MEMBERS. Members of the

Armed Forces are prohibited from participating in off-post demonstrations under any of these circumstances:

a. They are on-duty.

b. They are in a foreign country.

c. The activities constitute a breach of law and order.

d. Violence is likely to result.

e. They are in uniform in violation of DoD Instruction 1334.1 (Reference (h)).

Those soldier boys are paid to shoot and not to have independent thinking. They will be court martial. This is how the bankers want it.

I commend his bravery, but the meditating man protesting is also just as brave and courageous. If he is anything like me, he will meet their violence head on with peace, even in the face of death. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

[Griffo515]

2:12 -"We fuel off of you're hatred.." -WTF is that guy on about?

[etonks]

@Griffo515 "We fuel off of your hatred" Meaning the hatred of the 1% and their puppets (the cops) only serves as fuel for the fire in the hearts of the 99%.

IE: Go ahead and attack it only makes our convictions stronger and proves our point.

[BurritoBazooka]

@Griffo515 Also, mainstream media coverage of the movement increased rapidly at the Boston and Oakland arrests and "violence". That would be another way of interpreting it. More police action leads to more media coverage, which leads to more attention being given to the movement.

[pmarie2003]

It must be hard to be military and look at wannabe military impersonating cops.

[dpecora86]

2 things about that sailor: no rating patch on his left sleeve and wearing earrings in uniform... that makes me wonder

[dissidentfilter]

@dpecora86 There is a patch on his left sleeve. It is a petty officer patch, but because of the angle of his arm and the camera it's not possible to see his actual rate or rank. But I agree about the earring, perhaps he is a veteran. Because, if I remember correctly, the UCMJ says it is unlawful for active duty personnel to protest in uniform.

[AgeOfAeons]

@dissidentfilter It'd be on his upper left sleeve if there was one, like, tricep. He could be a seaman recruit, but that's extremely unlikely since he's also Surface Warfare qualified. Of course, he could be a veteran, which would explain the gauge he's got in his left ear, since that is "faddish" and thereby forbidden, but that makes it that much more unlikely that he's be a seaman recruit. Regardless of who or what he is, he clearly has military bearing and a great deal of self control

[dissidentfilter]

@AgeOfAeons I'm not disputing that this brave man is a veteran, but there is a petty officer patch on his left arm. The same place that I wore mine. It can be seen @ 1:52 in the video. I also applaud this man for standing up for what he sees as the right thing to do. He took an oath as did the rest of us veterans, to protect our county from enemies both FOREIGN and DOMESTIC.

[aerotro]

@dpecora86 - It should be noted that active service men and women could lose their pensions, he is a none active serviceman so wearing ear rings is not an issue.

[LineDoggie]

@aerotro Then he has no right to wear the uniform, according to USN and DOD regulations. its an all or nothing reg. you dont wear the uniform to political activity nor to activities that are a breach of Law and order or might become Violent. You wear it properly at the proper time, or not at all.

[MegaTremper]

@LineDoggie STFU, this man stands for FREEDOM, I don't give a FUCK about any UNIFORM REGULATIONS

[SeminarioMAE]

@MegaTremper Then you are a moron and he is a disgrace to the uniform.

[pigneguy]

@SeminarioMAE ..... and you're a wanker. Bend over and take your orders up your arse.

[SeminarioMAE]

@pigneguy hurrr durrr

[metalslugxBTB]

@aerotro Doesn't matter if you're active or non-active. When you wear the uniform you must be in regulations you stupid dipshit.

[SeminarioMAE]

@dpecora86 He's wearing earings because he's fruitier than a cornucopia.

[rockypope]

@dpecora86 He could also be a Seaman Recruit (E-1) right out of basic training. How far is RTC San Diego from Oakland?

I put on my command ball cap and utility shirt for the occupy movement in my town, there's quite a bit of sailor response to this, kind of funny huh. Oh yeah, and I was a 3rd class on the uss kitty hawk in the navy, and I support OWS!!!

[dannkk]

if they're standing in tear gas...how come no one is coughing?

[Pangolinx1]

@dannkk Because it's windy in Oakland at night; every night. Which also means that any non-involved bystanders were at risk for getting tear-gassed by the OPD by "accident."

[ipbron12]

Wow now that is a iconic moment together with the Scot olsen thing

[apatchofbluesky]

It is very encouraging to see so many military folk at the protests. These people are trained to serve their country and protect its citizens from attack. How can anyone still claim this movement is anti-American?

[Sayhello2nick]

@apatchofbluesky Military being there in uniform is against the ucmj it does nothing but set back the cause.

[BigSailorRobT]

Idiot cops can't even hold their riot shields the right way up. haha

i love how all the police are on guard like the guy has a bomb or something. hes harmless and they all have their guns drawn at the ready. fuckers.

[eatwoodman]

@TrashTalkification

The hell? A lot of them aren't even looking at him. The ones that are, don't have a gun pointed to him. You must be blind.

[TrashTalkification]

@eatwoodman if you go back and read what i said, i never said they had guns pointed or that they were looking at him. i said, "I love how all the police are ON GUARD LIKE THE GUY HAS A BOMB or something. He's harmless and THEY ALL HAVE THEIR GUNS *DRAWN AT THE READY*. Fuckers." As in, the fact that there is a police barricade, with riot gear, and their big boy stances at all, is ridiculous. All we have are tents and signs. Not often would I consider those dangerous or threatening.

[eatwoodman]

@TrashTalkification

No shit they had their guns drawn. What do you think they were shooting tear gas out of? Their ass?

[Animusmors]

@TrashTalkification He's got something much more powerful than a bomb.....he's got the United States Constitution and Freedom in his heart. Tyranny is afraid of such things.
