[TheNihipali5]

car: 1; body:0.. HAHAHAHA

[TheNihipali5]

what a bunch of idiots!!! I cannot say I"m grateful that I"m from that state of Washington. As a normal law abiding citizen, i"d say just let the bus run them over and roll on.. LOL

[77scapegoat]

These people make me root 4 cops lol

[bradq]

kind of dopey to be running around taunting them though. lie down in front of them? what the heck for?

[bradq]

what is the WSP doing at OS? They have no jurisdiction outside of the buildings owned by the corporation called STATE OF WASHINGTON.

[Thrax2233]

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in vast numbers....this goes for all occupy movements.

[bz2384]

WSP showed a lot of patience with the rioters. Props to the WSP for their service and integrity.

[IpwndGoliath]

Death to hippies and yuppies alike.

[TheBengacz]

All america should protest now like Libians did to have it country back !!

[jetpupjr]

the bus should just run all those dumb ass people over!

[otef434]

Ha ha ha ha. The whole world is watching. Yeah, as you ignore a law enforcement officers legal instructions. The whole world is watching you break the law. Then when you get arrested, you cry foul? Move out of the way means move out of the way. If you cannot listen and understand, it's no one elses fault but your own.

[h3rokill4]

It's fucked up what they do to them people just standing up for what they think is right fuck them pigs I lived in wa state for what almost 9 years an I had that shot happen to me keep your heads up for who all posted this video

[romeotangohotel]

Great job of remaining professional in the face of this crap. We are really proud of you Troopers and fed up with the occutards. They are not the 99% and they don't speak for me or anyone I know. Who's laws? OUR LAWS! who's laws? OUR LAWS! The whole world is indeed watching and fed up with you occutards. SHAME ON YOU! THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING! SHAME ON YOU! THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING! SHAME ON YOU! THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING! SHAME ON YOU! THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING!

I have a suggestion. Instead of getting angry at the police, or going against them, have them join in the struggle. Send them mass letters and emails appealing to them about the cause, and that we are all in this together. They need to make a living and just cant stop doin their job. We should have a fundraiser for police who want to do the right thing, but need to still support their family. You cant fight hate with hate, "you cant have peace through force, only with understanding"

[vanhoy92]

@tarantado02 I dont know whether you've been involved in any of the Occupations but how about you start writing those letters. When the police begin arresting and tazing the protesters at your side you do not just stand there and let it happen. these people were trying to keep the bus with arrested protesters inside from taking them to jail. technically the police are the 99% but they also defend and protect the 1% and the politicians. The reality is that the police are NOT your friends.

[getupviolet]

@tarantado02

I agree completely.

We all know that most individual police officers are our neighbors who wish to help keep order and maintain the peace, However, when they are used as tools in this manner it is clear demonstration of how broken our system has truly become; it is blatant betrayel of the officers by their superiors! De(Re)construct your government w/ a message of Knowledge, Opportunity and Ownership! We're gonna shut a whole lot more down before it's over! There are many fronts to this war and it'll take all of'em

[gekkobear2]

@AnOminousWarming Right, teach them that laying down in the road is a right, stopping people from going about their business is a right. harassing your neighbors is a right... and we should defend your right to stop all commerce for the good of...

Um.. who exactly? I like commerce, it's why I have a job.

Why is a functioning economy bad and something we should fight to prevent the nation ever having?

Why lay down in the road?

[aikanae1]

Violence begets violence. If a system allowing mass protest isn't developed SOON, I'm afraid they will only become more violent.

[HaywireHorrors]

I'm sad because of the lack of understanding from ya'll commenting. Have you ever been frightened and angry? What did you do? Hide? These kids may not have been making the wisest decisions, but they were scared. Does that mean anything those of you who are watching on your little screens, from your empty lives, lacking any sense of empathy? What do YOU do, other than comment on youtube? Act?

Did you know that empathy is what makes us human?

[GoodOlPatPat]

@HaywireHorrors its called living up to consequences, and its the ultimate form of responsibility. They should have expected this, its not just some stupid little thing you do for fun, its the real deal, and they don't treat it like such.

[HaywireHorrors]

@D8goober1

For the most part, sure. the State Patrol has de-escalation training. They did their best to keep their cool, but trust me, I was there. They did not all keep their cool. A few (and I can say names, but will not, because youtube is not the right forum for that) actively sought out confrontation. Some of them were chill, some of them I LIKE, but some came close to crossing the line, or did. A woman was grabbed by the throat and thrown to the ground, kids were tazed... not keeping cool.

[jegb7]

Hey Author.. Get a fucking job

[MrJohngalt1962]

So far the OWS crowd has no positive accomplishments at all. A great record. Do keep it up though, at least it is fun to watch you making fools of yourselves. It won't do Obama any good either so that is cool.

[HaywireHorrors]

BUT just because I like a couple of the State Patrol does NOT mean that they are any less at fault for being violent. Their anger is VALID. They have just seen their friends DRAGGED off to go who knows where. They have been traumatized - I certainly was. I was in shock for a good 2 hours afterward. Just because the protestors may have been acting rashly does not remove any of the blame from the SP who were violent. The SP are HIGHLY trained adults. They should be responsible for their actions.

[DBgoober1]

@HaywireHorrors Part of their training is in the use of violence. That is what we hire them to do. Part of their job is to use violence on people who refuse to obey they law and will not willing stop breaking the law. If you notice, they have guns. They didn't use those guns. They applied the appropriete amount of force for the situation. They were kind enough to avoid arresting people who let the mob mentallity and emotions of the moment get the better of them. They kept their cool.

[gekkobear2]

@HaywireHorrors Right, just because you were breaking the law, chose to ignore the police telling you to stop; and continued breaking the law is no reason for the police to arrest you.

You're the 99%, but you should be treated specially now? Following the law is too much to ask? 3 tazed, 4 arrests; 6 State Patrol injured... and the State patrol crossed the line?

How many cops should you be allowed to beat without incident? trust me, if I assault a cop I get arrested; why are you special?

[AnOminousWarming]

@gekkobear2 News got the numbers wrong there were more arrested (at least the 4 on the bus An Occupy Olympian who wasn't on the bus but was on the news and a Junior Highschool Teacher that was on the news) just none in the "police instigated melee", that's where the police assaulting non violent protesters by shoving, tazing etc. came in.

[gekkobear2]

@AnOminousWarming Ah, so the police instigated, and you were doing nothing but obstructing traffic, harassing others, and generally making a nuisance of yourself.

Gotcha, you should be allowed to lay down in traffic and shut down transportation without anyone moving you ever... can I get your address? I feel a nap coming on, and I think I'll take it in your driveway.

You wouldn't ever have me moved, would you?

Lay down in the road! For some reason.

[HaywireHorrors]

I must say that while I personally disagree with some of the actions taken by protestors last night, I DEFINITELY disagree with the actions of the police that were violent. I have heard/SEEN accounts from ppl who have been grabbed by the throat, tazed, shoved, dragged, etc. I genuinely like a few of the State Patrol (yes, this will piss off some other Occupiers, but I know them pretty well now). MOST of them are just trying to do their job. SOME of them have advice on how to protest better.

[HaywireHorrors]

@fibbersfan ACTUALLY only one State Patrol was bitten, and the person who bit him is a VETERAN. this means that he functions differently than most citizens do (similar to the State Patrol actually) and his experiences must be taken into consideration before you judge him too harshly.

FYI this is a first hand account. I was at the arraignment of those who were arrested, and I was inside the capitol.

Though I have to agree, this isn't a Police State, at least for those of us who are privileged.

[DBgoober1]

Too bad this video isn't playing on every news program in America. It would let the rest of the country see what mindless idiots these OWS folks really are. The state patrol should have arrested everyone of those folks who attempted to stop them from carrying out their duty. I can believe these folks think this is their first amendment right.

[SensimillaLove]

@DBgoober1 pedestrians have the right of way.

[DBgoober1]

@SensimillaLove LOL.... Now we are not protesters, we are pedestrians. First time I ever saw pedestrians laying down in the middle of the road.

[fibbersfan]

Aggressors appear to be the protesters. Three police were actually bitten. In most countries/large cities you would not see police handling protesters with "Kid gloves" like this. Also, if you think "This is what a police state looks like"...then you need to tour the world a little bit more. You should go to some countries that actually have a police state. Protesters in this video just come across as immature and provoking the police. The police are doing their job...and showing patience.

[vanhoy92]

@fibbersfan I wouldn't argue that there are more extreme examples of police states around the world. I would however be careful about defending the police in this country simple on the basis that there are worse police elsewhere. Should we only call out the police if they begin shooting and tazing on a mass scale? Also I would take the time to check your own positions of privilege, the police arrest, harass, beat minorities and low income people at disproportionate levels in this country.

[PatriotsDomain]

@fibbersfan

funny how you defend the criminal actions of police and bash those who believe in freedom.

[toknowandgrow]

@StargazersInc0

I highly doubt Ghandi would be ashamed....But I'll trust you have the wisdom to speak for not only him but his values.

[mysterytour775]

Oh wah wah 36Vernon. Solidarity to Washington!

[Sahmeh]

I was there last night and I was in the building after hours. I must say that things would not of gotten out of control if most people would of had more self control. The guy that had got tased first in the building had come up to me and told me himself that he shoved a guys face in the window and into the cop and that is why he had gotten tased. If certain actions were not taken the police would not need to take the actions they did.

[AnOminousWarming]

It should be mentioned and we should be thankful that a few of us have been awake the entire time! Ghandi, Malcom X, Jello Biafra, Martin Luther King, Chuck D, Marvin Gaye, Banksy, Lao Tze, Nick Cave, Sun Tzu, George Clintonl, Leonard Cohen, anon anon (add to this list). All of us have learning to do! We can learn the most from teaching others. Make information viral. "Say" (write) things that compell others to learn and participate in the dialog intelligently! Don't Stop, Keep Coming!

[DBgoober1]

@AnOminousWarming The OWS movement is more like the Bolsheveks or Mao Tse Tung's cultural revolution.

[AnOminousWarming]

@DBgoober1 Yes, Thank You.

[DBgoober1]

@AnOminousWarming Dude, that wasn't a compliment, those people caused the death of millions.

[AnOminousWarming]

@DBgoober1 Dude, you don't get it! So did Bush (and Rumsfeld); Clinton's the only Pres. of recent who didn't kill a bunch of innocent civilions. It's just that you made me look them (Bolshevick/ Mao Tze Tung) up and remind myself. So, thanks. I Forget More Than Most of These Trolls Learn (HAHALoLZzZzZzzzz...)!

[DBgoober1]

@AnOminousWarming Dude, you forgot math too. Bush/Rumsfeld didn't even get close to killing a million people. You also forgot Clinton bombed Iraq, it was to distract from his impeachment vote. Also, you might want to watch "Black Hawk Down" and see the mess he caused in Somalia. Oh yeah, let's not forget our Nato involvement in the Bosnia. But hey, I am sure the trolls forgot those too.

[AnOminousWarming]

@DBgoober1 I think I forgot that movie (seems like I watched it), any how all that stuff sounds interesting and I'm sure that I'll stand corrected once I get a chance to look into it further (Clinton). So thanks again, not everyone who disagrees is a troll, I have no problems being wrong (hell even the internet is wrong sometimes hehe). I have problems w/ people stickin' to it (being wrong)when it's been taught from childhood that it's wrong like: insert the name of any politician or major CEO!

[DBgoober1]

@AnOminousWarming That's exactyly how I feel about OWS. Drives me bonkers that people think the Constitution allows them to infringe on the rights of others. People that don't even know that one of our founding fathers defended british soldiers that shot and killed civilians during the Boston Massacre. He proved them innocent of all wrongdoing. Before the Constitution was written our founding fathers knew the dangers of the mob mentality. But the useful idiots don't have a clue.

[AnOminousWarming]

Don't you li'ltrolls have a fascist rightwing .5%er page to go MA$TERB8 to; speeking of whiners. Go play some halo or hello kitty whatever you call what you waste your time not doing!

To everyone who is awake and not still sawing logzzzz..STAY THE COURSE. DECONSTRUCT THE FASCIST REGEME FROM ALL NON-VIOLENT ANGLES. NOVCTMNOCRIME!

iN tHE iMMORTAL wORDS oF gEoRGe CLinToN:

If Theres a Curfew Then We All go to Jail, 'Cause it's Illegal

It's Not a Sin and No We Won't go to Jail, It's Just Illegal

[36Vernon]

You communist are such fuckin cowards. You taunt and threaten the police with violence and then cry fowl when they stoop to your level. Your movement and your demands are a joke. If you hate America so much then go live in Russia. I will be more than happy to buy a one way first class ticket for each and everyone of you pieces of shit.

[AnOminousWarming]

This is key, because now that we're awake it matters no longer whether we've been asleep or are just being born as we can no longer be hushed to sleep! We are awake and we thrive to learn how to change a broken system for the better of everyone (even the ruling and owning classes and yes even trolls). Because nature is cyclical nothing linear is sustainable. This isn't just opinion this is congruous w/ environmental science, sociology etc. Virtually everything must begin to be made sustainably

[AnOminousWarming]

Everyone go to the story of stuff dot org and watch all of the vids. Especially the story of stuff, of broke and of citizens vs fec. These are informative, entertaining, easy to understand and helpful to the movement imo. While your at it watch them all! Remember to learn the issues. That is what "phase 1" is about in addition to settling into our new skin (many of us just waking from a long sleep; some of us just being born), we r learning how this leaderless living n/v resistance mvmnt works

[AnOminousWarming]

Good Times! Thanks for coming everyone! I vote, I'm learning to participate in legislation and I participate in civil action!

Don't let your Civil Disobedience be trivialized by nay sayers who think the only way to change a corrupt regeme is to work w/in that corrupt system!

WSP hath brought shame and unwanted attention upon themselves.

At least someones getting some OT while 1/10 of us (at least) aren't getting any hours (unemployed)!

[gekkobear2]

@AnOminousWarming Right, injure 6 cops; then whine like a little b**ch when you get arrested. Only by constantly attacking everyone, hindering all commerce, slowing all transportation, and being a nuisance to the entire nation can you... whatever you claim your goal is.

And the cops should thank you for injuring them, they're getting OT for your beating on them?

I'll pay $20 an hour easy to beat on you if you don't fight back; willing to thank me as I do it?

[icuonthetube1]

I was there last night,most of you were pathtic idiots.I would like to see change too, but the way your going about it is all wrong.Get out and vote or go talk to your represenatives for change. All the over time you people caused last night is defeating the purpose. It is putting more of a strain on the the poor that have to pay for our overtime.

[leesullivan98]

Kudos, to these brave warrior "Occupyers" May The Most High be with them!
