[Gades117]

Thank you MSNBC the only halfway news station....

[policedan]

ICE CUBE WAS ALWAYS RIGHT FUCK THE POLICE  THE BAD ONES

[stowse]

Your an asshole, O'ddonnel. Why don't you stroll down there and do your own reporting? Wait, you can't b/c those evil cameras will make you a target BY the occupiers and you'll get your pussy ass beat. Dick.

[Emo666Cali]

Respond to this video...  US marines stood up to the cops 2 days ago.. it was great!! cops backed up quik..

[CalvinoMovies]

Only 8 000 views, share that video with more people, identify these idiots and launch a public campaing to ask their superiors to discipline them !

[L1ber8ted]

This is why Wall Street isn't the real problem. The problem is violence at all levels of society. The violence produces all the other corruption. The violence is there to DEFEND such corruption. Nice to see a video showing the truth. Real journalism and reporting isn't done by mainstream any more.

[chasba3000]

US and A! US and A!

[theliferewired]

I love this country. A fucking lot. Last time I checked it was supposed to be "run by us". Yep I'd say this video is what we'd all want.

open your eyes you cunts.

[hoopnet892]

The kooks don't even know what they r upset about. Try putting down the water bong, getting out of the street and getting a job. There r plenty of jobs out there but u got to want to work, not stand in the street and wave ur fist like a spoiled brat.

[NATIVITYDAN]

THIS IS SELECTIVE REPORTING. TO PROVE HIS ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT BIAS, LARRY IS ONLY SHOWING VIDEO OF THE MEASURED AND PROPORTIONATE RESPONSE BY THE POLICE. HE IS INTENTIONALLY NOT INCLUDING COVERAGE OF THE VIOLENCE OF THE ANARCHISTS THAT PROMPTS A POLICE RESPONSE. THAT VIDEO IS FAR MORE GRUESOME.

[ravel111]

@NATIVITYDAN doesn't matter. If anarchists are prompting police response, then go ahead, respond. HOWEVER, did you see that pepper spray sweep on three INNOCENT, NON-ANARCHIST, NON-VIOLENT girls? Did you NOT see that? Don't deny this police brutality just because a couple of anarchists are wreaking havoc. Deal with the bad guys, sure, don't abuse your power on innocent protesters!!!

[therrydicule]

@NATIVITYDAN Lol... Anti-establishment bias from MSNBC? You are fucking kidding me? You forget the police bias here.

This was nothing short of criminal activity from the police - they should be the better guy, not pro-establishment, but to protect from any crime, including from the police. The reality seem simply: the police been bough by donation to the police foundation and political bakery, forgeting their jobs. These are not police man anymore, these are goons now.

[NATIVITYDAN]

This low-class crackpot reporting shows only the (necessary) police reaction to violent outbursts caused by way too many young idiots who are out to riot and cause unrest in NYC. How sad that these left-wing nutbag troublemaking anarchists are inciting such violence in NYC. Thank God the police are well trained and well equipped to preserve the peace for the law-abiding citizenry. Anarchists, if you don't like the U.S., then move to another country! Good job, NYPD. You did your job well.

[Champraves311]

@NATIVITYDAN The ONLY violence was done by the police.

[DieNeueOrdnung]

the thing is clear, if I would be there I would grap this fascist cop using the peper spray and beat the shit out of his brain...hmm, I guess he has no brain.

but being serious that is what the USA turns into since the bush era and before...a police state and a none democratic country where police and other authorities are giving a shit on human rights.

[feloniusskunk]

who will protest us from your police...you pigs are the pigs on tv!

[hoopnet892]

Dude, move to France or some other pussy ass country to report news. If anything the cops were to nice.

[Champraves311]

@hoopnet892 Dude, find a time machine and move to Soviet Russia or Mussolini-Italy you fucking fascist.

[paulaflowe]

If they can beat you there, they can beat you anywhere--

It's up to you New York, New York.

welcome america!

[gregspivey]

Nice suit for a tool. This guy's rhetoric makes him completely unbelievable.

[booley]

I kind of wish he had mentioned where this happened.

It was in New York at the Occupy Wall street Protest.

Something which for some reason even the "liberal" MSNBC has avoided covering in any real way.

There's a lot more going on there then just the NYPD doing what it normally does to protesters. It would be nice if the MSM covered WHY these people are there. Otherwise this attack just becomes a distraction to what these people suffered for.

[TheVampire2506]

this is reported to youtube and persons in video man i feel for them ya know and them police are braking the law in that coutry and sorry for my spelling too my heart goes out to them ya know hugs to the nice persons

[bugmyass]

pigs are just being pigs why u mad hippies?

[Theethruth]

So the people are protesting legally and the police abuse them. Since following the law doesn't get shit done start a damn riot or form a lynch mob and burn those banks to the ground...

[Komsan6063]

Thumbs this up please!!! this is the personal information for the abusive cop in the white shirt and his whole family. Anthony Bologna is the man that fired mase into a crowd of 5 women who were trapped in a net by the police. Shown in the clip at 3:09

Enjoy!

[AndyRiot]

Omg, the media finally catches on! I stick to citizen journalism for my news, but i'm glad this broke for the people who are oblivious to life.

[douglas20max]

when it happened ???

[ericx16288]

Sad police.

[psybeast123]

The Guardian (UK) has reported that one of the "officers" has done this before - "Anthony Bologna, NYPD officer named in pepper-spray incident, is accused of civil rights violations at the time of the 2004 Republican national convention protests"

[quazy1328]

I would not be surprised if the next Anonymous target is the NY City police department for these action against Anonymous protesters and other peaceful protesters. I my self would call for those officers to be terminated with out benefits immediately.

[TheOGRiddler]

@MrTVintro

Yes it is very big

[rhaeas1859]

Everyone is watching. Don't think your alone. Remember, as a 99% your short on resources to move around. So, a lot of people want to be there but can't because their chasing the bubble in their own lives. Which feeds the elite driven machine. When it breaks, we'll all be down their throwing you guys in the air in rejoice. Love your hearts, spirits and ability. DON'T STOP. WALL STREET IS THE CRUX. BLOCK TRAFFIC. STOP MOVEMENT. STOP THE MACHINE.

[TheNatManRS]

Got here from Anonymous' twitter feed. Police brutality is extremely common, and as Lawrence said, only a case where there is serious injury or death does it make national news. This is a serious problem that most take for granted. But when it does make national news, everyone's shocked, and as he also said, is forgotten. Don't let this one be forgotten too. Make a point to law officials that they are only supposed to enforce the law. They are not above it, nor are they allowed to be.

[froootbat]

Justice is on its way, people are waking up, the world is watching.

[ppmat]

The Empire is finally falling... I'm glad it will happen because its own people is opening their eyes

[AllithiaReid]

The truth shall always reveal itself. It cannot be hidden. We carry on in solidarity and nonviolence and the corrupt forces at work in our society will reveal themselves for all to see. The challenge for all of us now is to not allow ourselves to be provoked to our own brand of violence. These actions by police are often staged to antagonize protesters. If we submit, our message is lost. DO NOT SUCCUMB!

[skater251993]

He was arrested because he was blocking traffic that's why most of them were arrested.

[feveristic]

fuck the police. we have to fight back!!!!

[jimp]

Same thing with the protests here in Greece, profound police brutality without reason, same thing everywhere in europe, IN THE WORLD...

NWO is coming, we have to fight.

[frosty689]

The fact that this hasnt turned into a full blown riot yet shocks me

[bugmyass]

@frosty689 yeah not sure what make me angry hippies not fighting back or cops acting like cops

[frosty689]

@bugmyass I'd personally like to avoid violence at all costs, but that doesn't mean the people should be scared of the police. I mean, of course, they are far more armed than any of us... However, this is honestly sickening to see.

[MrZeroCelcius]

Come on New York.... you know what to do. Retaliate. The people should not fear their government...or employees of their government. The Government should fear their people. Burn it to the ground. Somebody needs to get names on badges...its not hard to find out where people live these days. Thats all I'm gonna say. HANDLE YOUR BIZ New York!

[bountifulbasketfarm]

This is why Americans fear the police! Some do their job to serve and protect and some just do not care about human life. Sad.

[baltomike]

I think its time you guys seriously had a Independent Police Watchdog, we have one in the UK which does an alright job.

These tactics are to scare people from protesting and as a photographer, I wouldn't want to be targeted like that poor cameraman was.

[MrTVintro]

I'm not from the US so please tell me... is this a highly watched news show?

P.S.

I salute you Lawrence

[akashibito]

@MrTVintro He's pretty widely known. It reached a few 100,000 people for sure.

[akashibito]

@MrTVintro He's pretty widely known. It reached a few 100,000 people for sure.

[myoeman]

@MrTVintro yes

[politicalarticles]

@MrTVintro -- Decently watched.

[IronGodSlayer]

@MrTVintro its not like the major news cast, because they want to control the masses. Of we saw this alot there would be large scale riots like london.

[wolfcub996]

@MrTVintro no and the video is all edited to make the cops look bad

[dannijca]

Thanks MNSBC

[JBeerline]

LIKED! Favorited! Spread to tumblr and facebook and twitter! THANK U UPLOADER!!!!!!

[thehurricaine23]

the pigs wont learn until THEY are placed against the wall...

"the only good cop is a dead one" - dead prez

[Shazzie2]

@thehurricaine23 That is not the answer, they should just be reminded that this is for their children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.  Why should our children pay for crimes against humanity since Bloody Mary's descendant, George Bush's great great grandfather??? We've been lied to in a calculating way, surreptiously, and exacting.. Wake Up The Sheep!

[omfg4all]

If America doesn't wake up with this they never will.

[iippo06]

White shirts? you mean brown shirts?

[darrenkis]

the game is afoot kids. This is your last chance to demand social justice :)

[Shazzie2]

Police Brutality.. unfortunately, they are part of the one percent who are being lied to.

[givemeusernameplz]

@Shazzie2 The police are MOSTLY part of the 99%. They just sit in the part of the 99 which thinks that either they ARE a part of the 1% or they think they are doing the right thing. Most of the cops are doing their job as highlighted in the video. A few of the people who have been noted as having exerted brutality were also accused of this same action previously.

[Shazzie2]

@givemeusernameplz yes, excuse the misprint.. that's what I meant.. they are still being lied to, though

[bugmyass]

@givemeusernameplz in greece the protester chant "cop are not worker's children they are the guard dogs of the bosses"

[zexnynex777]

@Shazzie2 you mean the other 99% right? unless the cops parents are illuminati bankers which i highly doubt lol

[Rorschach1999]

@zexnynex777

I was thinking the same thing.

[EvilChris2003]

This is awesome. Showing exactly how those who are paid to "protect and serve" the public abuse their power to do what they want

[lonewolfhowling]

This is bullshit, we need to do a complete reevaluation of who is responsible enough to be on the police force.

[BladeNTheCrowd]

I am not American and this is just disgusting and pathetic. These officers need a foot up their arse. They are meant to be protecting the people, not violently assaulting them at a peaceful protest.

[lonewolfhowling]

Finally, a news broadcast of this.

[zacaronnn]

[GregBlackmanMusic]

Reposted with thanks. I know I'm never going to see this on any mainstream media.

[clearleadership]

I have been watching this on twitter since Sep 17th, thank God at least MSNBC is showing what is going on. I am banning CNN and Fox, Current and MSNBC from now on.

[xXSpartan150Xx]

@clearleadership All mainstream media is bad. Fuck that shit.

[AtMyDarkest]

Thank you for saying what everybody following this has been wanting to be said.

SPREAD THE WORD!

[clearleadership]

Thank you Lawrence. I just tweeted My dream was 2 own a home now I just want to own my education, but cant get a job. #occupywallstreet will any of my dreams ever come true?

Forget owning a home, still have some hope finding a job, but i doubt i ever be able to afford medical insurance. #occupywallstreet

#occupywallstreet well this is not about me, this is about the children, youth, now my dream is 4 them to have what i never did.

Thank you for not blacking out whats happening.

[bigbuddy772]

gonna show that shit at school tomorrow! people should know this

[garvaltwins]

Every single one of these cop thugs should be behind bars. They are criminals with badges and the mayor, that little dweeb, should be kicked out on his little billionaire ass.

[kouotsu]

Glad to see there's still at least one respectable person in USA's televised news.

[mttellek]

These are not the same proud people that were at 9/11. The whole world is watching.  You should be ashamed.

[rotoriuskool]

Them white shirts gettin frisky.

[jse07]

msm finally getting on board

[JummahFilms]

@jse07 Except MSNBC is not considered MSM.

[Donaldo]

@jse07 MSNBC viewership is abysmally low, so it isn't mainstream media. It's part of the illusion that we have diverse media that give us a choice who to be informed by. Still, MSNBC, including the guy in this video, tends to proselytize, reducing news commentary to excessive, polarizing rhetoric, with little substance or compelling argument.
