in regards to the horse incident.. The officer was not entirely at fault.. the rose was forcing me into the street as I was on the corner of the sidewalk. I overreacted, Yes, but at that moment my foot was in severe pain so I acted irrationally.
And to the person who said you can't break toes from horses stepping on you, that is just plain stupid. i have three broken toes in my left foot from this incident.
Too bad these protestors weren't at the Chicago Democratic National Convention in 1968. These police are using professionalism and restraint in the face of a bunch of spoiled jerks
@RealPotlan I can't see where you are in the video, but if this is where I think, you're near the Chase bank. Now I don't know if you were trying to occupy the bank, but that is why the officers were on the sidewalk in that specific spot. Just don't stand next to a riot police horse next time. The police officers is able to control the animal, but the animal does step around due to the noise. The office probably didn't know you got stepped on.
@tcober5 punch me right in the face. It will accomplish so much. I never acted violently towards the cops. I never was in the street without purpose. What is the big deal.. Yes there was swearing.. But I don't appreciate the fact that I was being hit for no reason and that others were being hit for no reason. I was simply standing up to the unnecessary violence of the cops
Do you guys not understand that we were on the side walk the whole time? The cops forced us into the street at a point .. So we moved to the other sidewalk .. The cops were blocking the street not the protesters
i'm all for peaceful protest believe me, but at the same time if the officers say get off the street or get run over, i dont see what the big deal would be of simply moving onto the sidewalk. it seems simple enough
A cop on a bike "allegedly" assaults a girl in Portland on the street and so I took a closer look. I always question these videos and so I took a closer look. Now YOU be the JUDGE. Check out the CLOSEUP.
also, my brother is a cop, and I think what this jerk keeps forgetting is that cops are people too, and they are just doing their jobs. That is not to say that their haven't been lots of crappy things police have done to occupy protesters in some towns, but Portland police did a pretty awesome job at staying composed despite people like this dude yelling and trying to provoke them because he wants attention.
Seriously I want to punch the dude who filmed this. I am behind almost everything that occupy stands for, but their embarrassing lack of focus has created nothing but a giant bloated useless movement that will accomplish nothing and that makes me sad and frustrated. The saddest part of this whole thing is that the occupy movement is so much bigger and could have so much more power than the tea party could ever hope for but in the end the idiots in the tea party will accomplish more.
I've been stepped on many a times by a horse... Never broke anything. And the horse was stepping around all over the place so the officer more than likely didn't make the horse step on you and he probably didn't hear you because a bunch of people were screaming.
quite possibly the biggest morons I've ever seen or heard. and no, I'm not talking about the cops. You "people" will never become anything in our society!
@poolsidemike01 I didn't k now that conservatives knew how to use the internet.. i'm 18 and own my own company that pushes profits in the 6 figure range.. how bout u "poolsidemike01"
@RealPotland if you have a company pushing profits in the 6 figures...why are you protesting with the 99%? that puts you pretty close to the 1%, which if you didn't know spans all the way from people earning 300,000 and more..
They were on the sidewalk. And they were pushing them into the streets. All I have seen is people protest peacefully and the police are the ones that are not being peaceful!
Using the language that you used doesn't make your position look very good. :( Calling the officer a piece of shit- didn't help the situation. ALSO- how could you have possibly known that you had broken 3 of your toes? I'm sure that if they were broken, that you wouldn't have been able to walk. You'd be on the ground in pain.
@JillianLJohnsen I was walking on my right foot only from then on. broken toes dont hurt that bad.. and yes my language was not nice.. BUT.. neither was the agression of the cops.. nonviolent means i did not throw anything at the cops or touch them.. but.. that doesnt mean i can't voice my opinions
Then all the Bank CEOs, Wall Street Execs and politicians should be pepper sprayed and arrested! Illegal camping and pedestrians laws are nothing comepared to what they have done to the people!
Do any of the protestors understand what N17 stands for? I think some would be surprised. I don't think this is going to end very well at all. Things will escalate. When they escalate, police forces will be so exhausted they'll bring in fresh people--- the National Guard. Better hope its after the holidays or you'll have some angry guardsmen.
I was standing next to you with camera in hand and horrified at the Police action! Next time calm the F-You's to make both of our video's more effective for the broader audience. We are here to show who the aggressors are at our peaceful protest. Thank you for taking action!
@Meditrans .. How were we not obeying the law. The officers told us to leave the street... but for the 25 minutes that they stated this over PA speakers the only one's in the street.. were the police. How were the laws broken by the lady who was pepper sprayed. Why would police charge us on the sidewalk. Why would they force us off the sidewalk into the street? The cops clearly were trying to invoke violence..
@Meditrans so why don't they arrest everyone in the federal reserve for printing counter fit money with no gold to back it? why not arrest our politicians for inside trading?? How is it that most politicians have a much bigger bank account after they serve there term? why don't they arrest the bankers for controlled inflation?? which make our cost of living sky rocket? but our wages stay the same. Somebody needs to bitch slap some sense into your dumb ass. WAKE UP AND STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS
I think the cops are saying GTFO. Staying there probably isn't smart.
