Occupy Honolulu protesters talk with Honolulu Police

[mrkitanai1]

Haole girl - HPD is there to protect your rights to speak out. Cause if they weren't there, a group of people who are just looking for trouble, or may simply be sick and tired of hearing you, may walk up to you and your group and start beating the living daylights out of you and your "fellow protesters." The police are there to ensure that YOUR RIGHTS to free speech and free demonstration are carried out safely and peacefully. Now do you understand???????

What saddens me as an Indigenous American is this cop has been completely assimilated and has forgotten where he came from. I mean he's a nice guy and all but having no understanding of community based governance which his ancestors' culture was built around.

But at least he's willing to listen and his boss doesn't make him dress up like Darth Vader just to keep an eye on peaceful protesters like on the Mainland. And he seems to have a good understanding of what his job really is, to protect

people who have no opinions are tools. clink! clink!

[fanslauable]

so I don't get it, is the movement about stopping corporate greed and creating social justice or is it about anarchism and no government? we want to unite folks right? not turn them off because we want to be rebellious and antigovernment

[MrDerekJW]

@fanslauable increase your understanding by getting involved thats the best way.

[MrDerekJW]

@fanslauable what is your opinion of it? you dont need people to explain to you what the movement is about. stop expecting people to FEED you information. otherwise you might as well watch the news! lolol

@fanslauable I love it when people throw out terms they have no understanding of thinking they are insults. American Conservatives and Libertarians are Anarchists, they just don't seem to know it. Especially Libertarians which cane from Anarchism and is nothing but a 'sect' of AnarchismI Isn't the Conservative mantra small government, states rights instead of central control over everything ... essentially Anarchism. Originally Anarchists were anti-monarchists .... Like our Founding Fathers
