"NYPD Doused Peaceful Protesters With Pepper Spray" Josh Harkinson Mother Jones Magazine

[paulrprichard]

“The police department routinely keeps to members of the press off to the side when they’re in the middle of a police action. It’s to prevent situation from getting worse and to protect members of press” ?

‘Protecting’ members of the press to the exclusion of doing their job of recording a newsworthy event ?

How much trouble can these peaceful protesters give the police force. Does anyone else not buy this ?

Keith Olbmermann is reaching dozens, no, hundreds of jackoffs in their moms basement.

I guess this OWS group of squatters, commies, druggies, rapists, anarchists, murderers, and rioters needs a leader. and what better leader than an 'outraged' millionare.

[TheEricleeparker]

@bassmasterkoxx I live in my moms attic , thank you very much

[callouschristian]

Bloomberg's head on a platter and I'll do a "Salome" Dance for all of OWC!!

[rwalkenhorst]

Keith, behold the enforcement arm of your god, the state. Nice guys, aren't they? Looking forward to them breaking my door down to force me to buy health insurance.

[WikeddTung]

@OldSchoolSkill here, here! well said!

[JRMCNEA]

The reasoning for you being swung around when you were about to take a picture is. A black out was ordered no media was allowed to witness or take a record of what was going on. because if what happened gets out they will have to get more police because the OWS movement would double.

[wolfemanxd]

700 police officers wow. OK time to commit crimes all the cops are away.

[ridgetownpimp]

It seems the NYPD is taking a page out of the RCMP's play book...

[PROFILESophiaYates]

Wait till those very same police officers need people to stand up for them. The people would have probably stood by them for their rights but i think after all thats been going on now they will never have the support any longer. Their on their own now. Sad day when the very people that r paid w taxpayers money paid to protect the people go against the people.

@3:11 is when it got my thumbs up!

[righyanb]

I pepperspray hippies even when they aren't acting like idiots at a protest :) all day err day

[koolance2012]

the lies in the main stream media is out of controll, this morning fox news said obama is pulling the troops out of irac, WRONG we were told to get out, yet the media will say obama pulled them out,just like GM making a commercail about paying back the 50 million weloaned them early, only problem is we loaned them 50 bllion not 50 million. ive had enough, tv is gone

[RobinaThe1]

As Always....Well Done Keith!!!

[dobbsiancant]

recall bloomberg.only one hundred signatures required.

[FreedumbFighter28]

King Bloomberg has spoken.....NY had NO ONE but OMERTA bound Mafia made man Rudy when 911 happend. Bloomberg stepped in and has done a real number on a once great town.....but the city doesnt care, as long as the trash gets picked up. ( shout out to those who can still remember when it didint ) So, all this get rid of bloomberg talk...XD is just a joke. It aint happenin. The King will rule until he says so. The sooner you get that, the sooner you can do something to change that. :-)

[Fungots]

@FreedumbFighter28 What? You need to occupy an English classroom.

[FreedumbFighter28]

@Fungots SIlly sock, NO ONE cares what you say or think....hahahaha....and no one cares what I say or think for that matter. You must be a spelling and grammar nazi, yes?? Your job is not needed here. If you havent noticed, this is a COMMENT SECTION, not a FORMAL LETTER. So spelling, grammar and punctuation hardly matters. You need to occupy a place that gives a shit about such thing...XD

[Fungots]

@FreedumbFighter28 You still need to Occupy an English classroom.

[ogrish84]

Bloomberg should step down.

[dapop1001]

Thank you Keith! The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie — deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought. -John F. Kennedy Your devotion to freedom of information will be remembered. “I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.” A. Lincoln

[youngbuck189]

Tea baggers consistently brought rifles and all manner of firearms to "protests".

Not once did the police attack them, let alone stand guard in riot gear in mass numbers at their "protests".

[Fungots]

@youngbuck189 Goes to show you that you need to bring 'all manner of firearms' to protests. Problem solved.

[rainbo5250]

The police who carried out this crime against the people, have become the HATED, VILIFIED, EVIL, BLACK-GUARD, NAZIS of our time.

These CRIMINAL police, against the citizens of the United States,...will FOREVER BE DESPISED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD.

NO local statuet,....(by a Mayor, who has obviously lost his mind) comes before THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.

[Twostones00]

Fascism is here people. Kiss democracy and your rights away.

[club213542]

@Twostones00 what rights its full on war with a police state as bad as any that as ever been

[dapop1001]

@Twostones00 Democracy will not go quietly into the night.

[Fungots]

@dapop1001 You do realize that at the end of that poem, the subject dies right?

[LANDSHARK7130]

lol "you van go bang yourself too."

[ottomadicly]

No, pepper spray has a best when used by date and can't be recycled.

[HimmuraTube]

Vote to remove Bloomberg from office. 

[rainbo5250]

@HimmuraTube

Bloomberg should be pulled out of his office,.....EXACTLY like these peaceful protesters were yanked from their tents!

Bloomberg has committed crimes against humanity,.....by ordering the police to PHYSICALLY remove these citizens,....and in many instances, (from what we can see on the LIMITED video) ASSAULTED these same citizens. The reason given for the ASSAULTS,......."They didn't move fast enough."!

The setting aside of our Constitution,....is TREASON.

[Fungots]

@rainbo5250 doomburg is a POS. However, I don't think he'll be replaced with anything better. NYC has nothing better to offer. It's a cesspool of corruption and cronyism.

[PROFILESophiaYates]

@HimmuraTube I dont even think that would work. I dont believe our elections matter anymore. I believe they r rigged & they r appointed & we r made to believe we participated election BS. He controls to much. You wont see him out of his seat. The only way U will ever see that is if the people drag him out of it but look whats going on the people have no rights.
