  • And Alabamaguy if you have children you should care because its there future and they know it. It's kind of like the penn state fiasco, are you just gonna watch as the children of this country get screwed or just pretend nothings wrong...

  • @southalabamaguy just tell me your voting RON PAUL for president and you will have no argument... He wants to cut all excess spending and go back to the gold standard... and you're right the government has too much control, that's why some protesters want a direct democracy. Then you would decide how your money was spent... but for now we need people in government that care about our country. That's why I speak of Ron Paul...

  • Your ass bad as the coach watching the little boy getting raped in the shower... your just letting all the children of our world left to be raped by this system of fascism.

  • @southalabamaguy yeah you will stay inside because you don't have the courage to stand up and fight for what's morally right. Yes the "elite" rich are being protested, ones you probably don't even know about. This is bigger than government, they are just pawns. Money controls everything, especially when these "elite" rich own the federal banks that lends our country money with interest. Talk about a conflict of interest. when the banks bankrupt the country they make trillions of the interest

  • @crash4dafun I have no problem with whats going on so therefore I need not stand up for anything. You're right money does control everything but the government controls the decisions of spending, just look at all the spending Nobama did and tell me the gov is not in control. He's the reason the 99 percenters are protesting.

  • Why is this in question form...?

  • NO REACTION FROM THE CROWD OR POLICE, HHHMMMM??? FAKE

  • Wow, whoever shot that guy needs to be removed from the force. Police officiers with itchy trigger fingers should never be allowed to own any type of weapon. 

  • "Did Officer Fire at Occupy Filmer?"

    No the Rubber bullet fell from the sky

  • It's okay to peacefully protest, but there is no excuse for becoming Vandals destroying private property & harming trade.

    They should have never dumped the tons of tea in the ocean, burned the ship, or closed ports.

  • Cop's are nothing more then the Military Wing of the Democratic party.

    Those higher taxs perople are so interested in passing-pay for these fuckers salaries'.

    Less taxs = less Cop's.

    Otherwise stfu.

  • @Badtreewater Clearly you should then see less cops in conservative areas, right? So when you look up the police to residents ratio, the conservative places in the country there should be a huge difference in ratio. So when Arlington Texas has a ratio of 1.64 per 1000 which is less then the Texas average of 2.23, you would expect a place like Berkeley, California to be much higher, at least 3 to 1 if your idea is right, but what is it. 1.78 per 1000, higher then Arlington but lower then Texas.

  • @metalslugxbtb Your ignorance is what will get you killed... The vandalism that is caused by this is nothing compared to the violent wars that are forced upon our soldiers... most don't even agree with being there. Its great your a tough guy and want to go to THEIR country and kill people... Ill wait here with my gun in hand ready to defend... "Carry a big stick bit speak softly." "Strong move silent." And try to get your self some news from all different places and find truth yourself dick...

  • @southalabamaguy way to fight for your right to assemble or freedom of speech. Just stay inside and let them feed you that fake news ya couch potatoe. Try getting your news from here on youtube and figuring out what's really going on for yourself...

  • @crash4dafun Hilarious you bring up the right to peacefully assemble when it clearly whos VANDALISM caused by the protesters in the video. Defacing property that other people have to pay for is the standard operating procedure of this unemployable wastes of life that is the occupy movement. Did you really just say try getting the news from youtube? Yeah, if you're a cock sucking 9/11 truther. Everyone knows Russia Today is unbiased new, epsecially since Putin finances the network, fucking retard

  • @crash4dafun I'll stay inside my office and watch as you people continue to get beat up and brutalized. What is even being protested? The rich people? They should be camped out at the White House if they are mad at the government. I'm sure 99% of the bums protesting are the ones that voted this moron of a president into office. Oh and all news is fake and biased so I'll watch tv while you watch silly youtube vids.

  • @SouthAlabamaGuy Probably right, I bet 99% of the protestors were the foaming at the mouth Obamatards.

  • Police neutralized the camera threat.

  • it was a taser

  • Don't be a puss...shoot back!!!

  • @slykos222 LOL this coming from a guy who cant spell "incest" and is justifying arbitrary police brutality is very amusing. Go learn what the majority of OWS is actually protesting first then talk shit.

  • Experts are questioning whether an Oakland police officer used excessive force ;,. are you serious, you need experts to tell you the difference between right and wrong? give me a fukin break!

  • That's just fucked up... I double checked to make sure, and yes, the pig definitely fired.. you can see it, and the line of smoke and the guy was definitely hit, no fucking question... WTF... but of course the occupiers will continue to just complain and not really do anything other than beat drums, chant and hold signs with slogans

  • He DEFINITELY Fired at him ... no question, A.P.

  • It's either misleading or inaccurate titles or the god damn volume is too loud on AP videos. Whoever is editing, uploading and naming these videos need to be slapped for being so oblivious.

  • The camera man is just a pussy. He didn't get hit.

  • @yourtreat2 Say it to my face.

  • @SouthAlabamaGuy Not a problem. First, you need to pull your head out of your ass, so you'll hear and see

    a bit better, Shit For Brains.

  • @SouthAlabamaGuy proof?

  • @fockfock The proof is in the pudding and I see none so therefore he did not get hit.

  • @SouthAlabamaGuy You must be blind not to have seen that smoke go directly towards that guy.

  • @fockfock Or maybe I just turn my head and wait for the next violent outbreak to happen. This should have happened on day one. Clear out the hippies from their greedy, selfish, self-satisfying camps. I'm tired of seeing this crap in the news. Why don't we talk about stuff that actually matters like the lack of education in America.

  • @SouthAlabamaGuy It sounds like you wouldn't mind living in a police state. Let's see how you feel when your own family gets brutalized by these pigs. If you're tired of seeing this in the news, then quit watching the fucking news and go outside.

  • @fockfock My family will never be brutalized by anyone. I go outside plenty but when I want to learn about what's happening to the world I watch the news. When this crap comes on I turn it off.

  • @fockfock Motherfucker what do you know about living in a police state, are you Syrian? Then STFU you stupid piece of shit. You know nothing what it's like to live under facism. America has rights people can't even dream of. You REALLY think you're brutalized in this country, THEN GET THE FUCK OUT. Leave pussy, not a single fuck will be given upon your exit. But you won't, just like the other dipshits who talk shit on youtube, cuz you're all pussies who talk big games but don't the balls do act.

  • @metalslugxBTB You need to get your dad's dick out of your anus. Just because others live worse doesn't mean I shouldn't stand up for what believe in without having pigs trying to shut me up with violence. And it's funny you calling me "pussy" who "talks big", since I've never met a bigger internet tough guy than you.

  • @fockfock I've spent more time overseas than you have in higher education. And no, I am not scared of a little pussy who wears an anonymus mask. If you're already too much of a coward to show your face, you're not even registering on my radar little boy.

    Btw, those pigs... Most of them having bigger balls than you could ever hope to have. Oh, and they make more money and get more pussy than you too. Enjoy...

  • Maybe

  • Where is the surprise here? after all, all these cops are in a warzone right now arent they >.>

  • @slykos222 A brain should occupy your skull...

  • But I feel this falls on deaf ears and that saddens me to the depths of my soul. If nothing is done our new saying will be " Divided we stood United we fell"

  • Your absolutely right, we have a corrupt gov that we let take over right before our eyes and we were to worried about greed and self gratification to care. Now it's too late and we are still to scurd to do what needs to be done! Where are the real patriots who will ultimately give their lives for freedom, again!!! There was a time that I would have givin my life for this country but now I would only die to get it back for it has been taken from us and now we need to take it back! But I feel the

  • fucking illuminati and rockfeller 

  • @slykos222

    fuck u

  • why is there a question mark in the end of the tittle?

  • not as good as the tear gas canister headshot on the fake vet 2 weeks ago ..i want more of that

  • @HangProgressives What that guy  was not a vet? Sounds typical.

  • Quick!!! Get this man back to the rape tents!

  • haha

  • Vandalizing the statues of the place where you're protesting is a good way to make you look legit. Dumbasses.

  • 0:31 oh ow oh ow ouch!

  • Dang I love watching this.

  • I wonder if he ran back to the rape tents?

  • You Americans talk the biggest when it comes to democracy, freedom fighting and preaching to others to overthrow their 'dictators' but when it comes to your own home soil, you chickenshits don't even know you have a dictator or in a fascist regime, let alone fighting them by force.

  • @cazyblood3

    That is unbelievably hilarious coming from someone from Brazil.

    Don't rich people take helicopters sky scraper to sky scraper in your country? Man, love to chill in some favelas there. Yeah, that's the life alright.

    I'd take living in the United States any day.

  • Did Officer Fire at Occupy Filmer? Either that or he's incompetent.. Take your pick.

  • AMERICANS PAY A PAINFUL BILL FOR BEING FOOLED THE LAST 60 YEARS BY THE JEWS...THEY KEPT THEIR SLAVES WELL ENTERTAINED THROUGH HOLLYWOOD...LOL!!

  • IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT AMERICAN? I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN LET YOUR POLICES OFFICERS SHOT YOU LIKE THAT AND DONT ACT.... STUPIDITY AS GROWN TOO MUCH IN USA.

  • lol why is this title a question?

  • Republican cops are trying to turn this protest into a riot so they can bring out the big guns.

  • No shit he fired at him.

  • DUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

  • OCCUPY RAPE TENTS

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

    Now that was funny !!!

  • umm bit of context perhaps?

    no no let's just show the really dramatic bit.

  • WHO WATCHES THE WATCHMEN

  • Obviously YES!

  • why does this video say "Did Officer Fire at Occupy Filmer?" when obviously the answer is yes. i mean, it is a video of an officer firing at an occupy filmer... where's the question?

  • @DieTheDeath Read below the video chum: "Experts are questioning whether an Oakland police officer used excessive force after video appears to show the officer firing at a photographer".

  • @shkotay Wondering what sort of experts those are. You can clearly see the smoke from when the gun was fired. And he didn't threaten the police in any way (at the beginning of the video he even asks the police, if it's okay. I assume he meant the distance he has to the police), there can't be any question whether or not it was excessive. But that's just my opinion as a layman :-)

  • @shkotay in what way does that refute my statement? the question in that scenario is whether the firing at an occupy filmer qualifies as "excessive force", largely implying that it is acknowledged that an officer fired at an occupy filmer...

  • @DieTheDeath Well if your point is to tell AP that their title is vague it doesnt at all. I just make a habit of reading the description of every video I watch to get the idea of what the producer was trying to get across. A lot of ppl take issue with AP titles, I do too and thats why I just never go by the title anymore.

  • @DieTheDeath Who the fuck knows, just chock it up to another failure on the part of the idiot AP hired to post these videos.

  • YOU STUPID AMERICANS STLL THINK U LIVE IN A FREE COUNTRY. THIS VIDEO IS LIKE FROM NAZI GERMANY.

  • Is the photographer okay?? He dropped pretty fast. I hope he is okay. I hope someone is able to follow up on this story.

  • Not commenting on the "Occupy" movement as a whole, but Occupy OAKLAND is a fucking disgrace. OAKLAND? An already destitute urban area, made up of small businesses and people who are ACTUALLY having a hard time making ends meet? That's where you want to have your disruptive pow wow? The big chains are up in Berkeley and Emeryville.. go there! Of course, how is your mother going to pay your phone bill if she can't get into the Apple store?

  • @lancelottodd This has all happened in the US before, in particular in the 30's.

  • Me thinks THIS is the right time to spill the blood of Patriots and tyrants...

  • @TheYoungTurdz. Americans have the right to gather and protest. We also have the right to bear arms as a protection against our government; something that seems to have been forgotten.

    I am proud of the people who have said 'enough' and are doing something about it.

    We need to make America the country it once was.

  • SB5 in Ohio could move to Calf next and take away the rights of the police. You are one of us, join us.

  • HELL YES THEY DID "

  • Sedition against the Constitution is not protected speech.

  • @bryonlape

    That is the EXACT kind of speech that it was designed to protect. (As long as you don't advocate violence.)

  • @RetSquid No it isn't. Disagreeing is one thing, open rebellion is another. Otherwise, the Whiskey Rebellion would have ended differently.

  • Yall know he was being a smartass, Up there struttin around like a rooster till one a dem bullets tapped that ass

  • ROTFLMAO.

    owwww owwwww oowwwwwww he shot me!! LOL

    Good for the officers who are doing what we pay them to do.

  • Of course the "officer" shot a peaceful cameraman...it's as obvious as the videotape.

  • hahahahahahaha

    what a pusssy!!!

    "ooowww owww owwwww"

  • @pvtjamesryan3 OK lets shoot you with that, see how you cope fag

  • Also I think it's completely fucking astonishing that this video can ask "DID POLICE SHOOT THIS GUY?" and suggest that the video makes it "appear" as if he's been shot. Astonishing.

  • That cop should get a taste of his own medicine.

  • @sterlingman

    They do. Before they can use tear gas or a TAZER, they are on the receiving end of it.

  • OF COURSE HE SHOT HIM CAN'T YOU SEE IN THE VIDEO AP?

  • Yes. I support them but that grafitti is gay...cut the shit.

  • Americans deserve their government

  • Isn't it odd that when protesters were shot in the Arab countries, the Americans had a big out cry, but when its here they are like, "well they are hippies" "they are losers" "they want a hand out" "go get a job" etc

    Honestly it seems Americas like the status quo. And likes the corruption of their government.

  • @NusaybahBintKa3b I think it's simply a matter that Americans have an immense media machine that influences their thoughts. I watched FOX news coverage go from saying the protesters were jobless, penniless communists to saying that they're pampered bourgeoisie in a single week. Americans don't love the status quo, we've just been raised with such an ironclad belief in law that opposing the police for any reason seems insane to many of us. Pretty sad really.

  • @NusaybahBintKa3b

    So you know that difference between lethal and non-lethal weapons?

  • @NusaybahBintKa3b Republicans have been rejected by the protesters so they are doing their best to discredit the protesters with their rhetoric. "well they are hippies" "they are losers" "they want a hand out" "go get a job" etc

  • @NusaybahBintKa3b One might come to that conclusion based on the largely corporate-controlled media in the U.S. but I assure you, those opinions spewed by the biased so-called "news anchors" and parroted by ditto-head lackeys do not represent all of Americans, not even by a close estimate.

  • @NusaybahBintKa3b

    Americans don't like whiney assholes, and that's a good thing. Look at countries in Europe like France and Greece, they're filled with whiney assholes. I'm sure if you asked the protestors, most would say the USA should be more like Europe.

    I know that 34% said that America was as bad as Al Qaida. Anyone that believes that kind of shit is stripped of the right to the big boy table, sorry.

  • @tubub Big boy table? WTF is that? Is it in your mom's basement or something?

  • @particlelight

    don't worry, you're not invited.

  • @tubub Wow, that hurts. Say hello to your mom for me.

  • @NusaybahBintKa3b Uhh well for one thing they didn't shoot the dude with real bullets like your peaceful Arabs did.

  • Americans are too chicken shit to fight.

    Yes, as an outsider not residing in the US i think Americans have lost their balls.

    They never did fight for their freedom in the first place, they were literally handed the 'freedom' that isn't even real.

  • @cazyblood3 Yeah, Americans never fought for their freedom except they have conquered every army that has EVER attacked them. Not only were they conquered by most were completely destroyed & forced to Democratize. Not to mention all the countries America has saved in its short existence. America is not perfect by a long shot but to claim they do not fight is ABSURD on its face! Your comment shows more about just how utterly ignorant you are than anything else!

  • Americans be Like Libya start shooting back and grow some real balls and arm up

  • this peaceful revolution bullshit needs to end nothing is going to happen until the people TAKE UP ARMS and start a real revolution

  • I guess graffiti is "Freedom Of The Press"

  • Did Officer Fire at Occupy Filmer? Is Associated Press asking dumb-ass questions?

  • shows what they think of the people and their free speech. 

  • Get some weapons and gear up you americans

  • lol a week ago i read they told alll there people to bring weapons, which means more security, now your saying bring ak-47s? okay go right ahead tough guy, as an army brat, i will tell you this, you bring a mass filled with guns, expect the swat team and the armour helicopters, full force apon you, pray to god they dont send in the military cause if they do, ooh boy you are fucked. they will not wait to give the order to shoot to kill if you point a gun at one of them.

  • @werwr4 that would start civil war you dumb fuck ,

  • @zerackid no that would start a gun fight between retards with weapons, versus trained soldiers. not even a war,

  • @werwr4 says "... that would start a gun fight between retards with weapons, versus trained soldiers. not even a war"

    Well - don't you think there are a few "trained soldiers" who have done their hitch and now are feeling ripped off by the system? Maybe even more of them than active duty "grunts"?

  • @werwr4 Are you actually bragging about US soldiers potentially killing US civilians? Wow - brainwashed much?

    Good luck with that - what do you suppose is left when it is all over? Do you think there will be lots of nurses kissing the troops when the war is over? Do you think anyone will even look each other in the eye again? Look at videos of Germany just after WW2 - see how happy the people are?

  • @javamanV3 no, dumb fuck, im not. i really dont give a shit about the protest, the protesters are fighting for a cause, the hipsters like the dumb fucks getting weapons and the dumb fucks taunting police, are the ones who need to sit the fuck down and get a job. you myfriend do even know what the protest are about? or did you go just because everyone else went. thats not protesting, this is not protesting this is retards who dont understand shit and think its cool to break into stores and loot

  • This was very disturbing to watch.

  • Of-course the fuckin officer fired the bean bag, there the ones with the equipment stupid headline

  • Associated Press has a bunch of idiots working there

  • Those cops are one of the shit stains we'll clean up after we win. We are coming. Expect us.

  • America is ours.

  • I've already seen a few videos where these occupy people are trying to manufacture propaganda, like a guy lying on the ground forcing himself underneath a police scooter that is being walked along by the cop, that's right not driven, but walked along... then the guy starts screaming bloody murder as if he's been hit by a mack truck. Here's the links:

    watch?v=dr37LVxBdyA

    watch?v=HnIviW7rRvw

    These OWS people are such fucking drama queens, provocateurs and propagandists.

  • @ThePoliDick maybe you should do something more constructive than watching videos and bitching

  • @ThePoliDick Are you really so stupid as to think that everything you think you see in a video is real? When things happen fast - only multiple views tell anything like the truth. If you watch the NFL you will see many times when you think one thing happened - then when they show the opposite view - oops, the other thing happened.

    Before making such strong judgements - use your head just a little...

  • Comment removed

  • Did Officer Fire at Occupy Filmer?...um did you not watch the video??

  • Why did he shoot did the guy step outs of the free speech zone or did his protest premit just just run out. Maby he made eye contact with cop or was about to trow his camera at the cop. Land of the free indeed

  • And that shot actually looked like accidental discharge more than an intentional shot. Notice the shot went towards the ground, skipped against it and then hit the guy.

    The officer is still at fault, but it certainly doesn't look intentional :U

  • shooting a camera man is bad manners, that'l cost them.

    and how do you become a cop and be that stupid?

    p.s. the only ones saying they are tuff guys who can kill cops are black people, and shitty pot-heads. neither of which truly represent the occupy wall street movement...

    the only hilarious thing about the officer who did the shooting is how badly his career will be effected because of his lack of experience or else lack of judgement while using the uniform.

    good job hicks.

  • @ddiabloo Shitty potheads? Dude, most potheads are scared shitless of the police, dont give a fuck about stuff enough to even joke about killing a cop and would rather run from the police than attempt to fight. Dont go generalizing people when you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about D:<

    Though black people? Yeah... look at any rap video made in the past five years. Black people are the cop killers. Just an observation *Hides under desk from angry shitstorm*

  • A weird way of looking at this. Is that he paid the policeman to shoot him, technically. We pay taxes to pay for the police so he paid him to shoot him ?? What a messed up world

  • I respect AP more than the other mainstream crap. At least some of their videos are real news.

  • OWS is an auto-immune disease. People so confused they are attacking themselves. Eliminate this sickness.

  • this is the shot that SHOULD be heard around the world, but WON'T. Free speech is a right endowed to all humanity by God. When the police of any nation shoot their own nation's media, do you believe anyone is safe from censorship anymore? That includes you all. Beware. Either fight for your rights, or risk losing them. VIOLENT COPS GO HOME, WHILE YOU STILL HAVE ONE TO GO TO. Peace. - Jon

  • Police scumbags shooting beanbags.

    It's been a long time since it felt like Police officers were serving our communities.

    These trigger-happy thugs in uniform have long forgotten that taxpayers are writing their paychecks. They're now part-and-parcel owned by the MegaBanks who fund the PDs.

  • Violent Cops GO HOME (while you still HAVE one).

  • Nice display of the character of these thugs that people think that they are there to protect and serve them. Get a clue. Their job is to protect and serve the gov and the corporate interests.

  • I like how people are talking about "killing cops" and "occupying with ak47s", but the video shows one of you run away like a little bitch when hit by a beanbag...

    Yeah, real bunch of tough guys, good luck with that.

  • @uniformactionofkind Have you ever been shot at with a bean bag round? You do know that it's something designed for the express purpose of incapacitation of an unarmored foe right? Of course they run away like little bitches, you get shot with that and you're probably gonna go down.

    So yeah. Dont be a hardass on the internet. Dont act like a five year old with an attitude problem and UNDERSTAND that it's only human to run away from shit like bean bag shotguns and stinger grenades :U

  • @uniformactionofkind if u dont run from someone with a gun shooting u then ur a fuckiong moron , ,, has nothing to do with being a tough guy

  • @uniformactionofkind maybe you should do something more constructive than watching videos and bitching

  • Yeah, the banks hijacked your country, just like how they robbed the east and north Africa. Future looks bleak

    USA IS OWNED AND YOUR MILITARILY...NWO THUGS

  • maybe they should start occupying with ak-47s??

  • cop on left had him marked as he stepped behind the concrete thingy

  • holy fuck. definitely gonna favorite this one...the cop on the far left draws his pistol...

  • Hilarious. Good shooting officer.

  • How are there people voting up the police?

  • @dude12nothin They are zombies - drones that have lost all critical thinking, living in fear, and believe what the lie box tells them. "The police keep us safe." They believe that all of the protesters are commies that deserve to be "removed" because they are destroying the system by stealing the wealth from the system for their poverty assistance programs, & don't realize that the whole game is a ponzi scheme where both parties along with the corps are working together to destroy this nation.

  • @ajmacdonaldjr theres no law about sleeping in the parks

  • @ajmacdonaldjr

    seems like that by doing that you'd be attempting to curtail their protest, and thus their freedom of speech.

  • @ajmacdonaldjr

    Also keep in mind, if the cops enforced the laws, they would be arresting quite a few of their own, as last I checked taking pictures didn't warrant the application of less-lethal ammunition expenditure.

  • Though I agree we need to stop bending over and taking it up the ass from the government (and law makers in general) .. this is definitely not the way to go about it. However I will admit, nobody wants a civil war, and I doubt the technology the government has and the oaths the military and police have taken will force some of the more brainwashed bunch to spill alot of innocent blood. I will agree we do need to change our government, and just talking isnt going to do anything. Nor is voting.

  • @Trucido614 Yeah, I do not agree with these people's brand of "politics", so if they want to revolt you can count on me counter-revolting. Just out of principle.

  • @16BitGenocide Yeah totally, equality is over rated.

  • @Trucido614 If you were brainwashed, do you think you would know it?

  • @DecentralizedByGuilt I'm sure you'd have some clues as to something being up, but it would definitely take some time to realize what's been going on in my opinion. I'd say most people who have common sense can realize that military training uses alot of brainwashing techniques but they're mainly to instill certain features a soldier should have, just some people have problems turning that off. What I meant by that was people would probably follow orders and kill innocents if ordered to.

  • @Trucido614 I wasn't talking about that. But you're right it is commonsense, and it is a given. Does it need to be said. The video shows it in action.

    I'm going to say something, your reply will determine whether or not you've been brain washed. - Tax cuts, or no taxes, sucks up wealth from the lower class and puts in into the top wealthiest class. True, or false?

  • @DecentralizedByGuilt I'd say false. But I don't keep up with the media and what they're telling people, i've never really had to pay taxes, so I honestly don't know if its true or false, my opinion would be this; A Country needs taxes of some sort, balancing them with the rate of inflation when necessary, (Just like balancing minimum wage with inflation) as for tax cuts in big business who make billions/trillions and get huge tax cuts that's not fair. They need to be taxed at a decent rate.

  • @Trucido614 The media has nothing to do with it, actually. Although it can shape a persons view. Since not many have the means to travel the word and get inside scopes and stuff. So one has to pay attention to the news. Even alternative media gets their news from main stream, and then they just put their own spin on it. But yes, you got it right at the end. Tax cuts for the wealthiest sucks up wealth from the lower class and puts it into the top wealthiest class.
