A crime scene? Yes, the US government is a criminal for violating the first amendment and using police force to unlawfully imprison these peaceful protesters!!

Jail must be such a nice place since there aren't many actual criminals in there

That's little brother at 4:34!

Thank goodness there is someone sane on Youtube.

Bless you hommie.

These nuts are a riot. They have their lies down pat. I 'll give them credit.

Yeah the police run around starting riots ALL the time. And OWS is 100% peaceful(besides all the violence) LOL

There is one classic video of some moron in SF who taped a cross on his shoulder and runs around screaming that the police are attacking the "medics" . Priceless

No those were just OWS scumbags. Thank you for playing though.

[JRCKFSH]

That wasn't Occupy , those were government agents dressed as OWS scumbags.

[JRCKFSH]

LOL Police are terrorizing unarmed citizens?

That's a bald face lie.

Actually the videos show the exact opposite. The police have shown unbelievable restraint with all of the OWS protests. The only reason they are showing this restraint is to prevent your movement from being more violent than it is.

The cops have let OWS go wild in the streets to prevent you from getting more violent.

You can lie all you want. The truth will set you free.

Are you insane? Have you not seen the damage done to store fronts? I get that you are trying to get your propaganda out there but we are seeing a mob taking public property and destroying it and then going on a march and destroying private property along the way. Just think about the name "Occupy Oakland". That was not a given name but one that was taken. You choose to say that you are seizing the public space.

Just society is not represented by you.

the police are the mob that has formed

[occupyoaklandtv]

but of course the definition applies to police in riot gear::: geared up to start a riot

[occupyoaklandtv]

given the obvious, shown in video after video, that the police are terrorizing unarmed citizens on a daily basis... feel free to explain your hatred for 99%of the people of the world... maybe that will also explain your self hatred.

[occupyoaklandtv]

you're talking about the mob of police, right? since they are the only ones who've been routinely rioting, destroying and stealing private property.
