i clearly see projectiles from OPD before protestors response with debris ("rocks,bottles") :\ Main stream claims protestors started the projectiles and OPD responded.........BS!! #opacman anons

[SweetnShameless]

America should be weeping.......these are scary times and we all need to get involved at a local level for POSITIVE change without violence if possible.

@insomAthens Yeah, that's what you need, to have people start getting killed. Pardon me if I disagree, but that is ludicrous. You are just asking for dead bodies on both sides if you start chucking concrete.

[sgoodwin0011]

if this was happenin in the southwest people would shoot back. if cops shoot you can shoot back. there is nothing illigal going on with these protestors. i know i would shoot a dam cop for shootin at me

[PTtomas]

@SweetnShameless those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. jfk

[tinoman2]

occuturds are lazy dumn people

[insomAthens]

without violence??? lolz.

SOOO , American friends.

You are running without reason, the cops should be afraid , not you.

Go buy some hammers and make small rocks from the sidewalks.

Do not throw when they are standing. Throw when they are coming, be patient and wait for the moment they will be close enough they think you will run. And then you will see it happening. Cops will run.

Solidarity from Greece.

@100crawma I hope you are beaten by the police and get a long aids infested dick in your ass, you corporate dick sucking, kiss ass, trolling loser motherfucking piece of shit cunt. I hope your family dies tragically and your dick is cut off and fed to you before they set you on fire.

[realrapdoe1]

@100crawma Hmm, very safe to say behind your keyboard faggot. I'm sure you would've been the lone guy standing there getting struck with rubber bullets, smoke bombs and explosives. Go fuck yourself. The fact we had held the line at ll shows bravery and your just a troll youtuber.

[100crawma]

pussies most them start running at the first flash bang-- epic failure kids

[100crawma]

@KingcgcGaming2 i know look at all the expensive phones and cameras and rigs the occutards are using, dont those very same evil corporations make that stuff?

[100crawma]

@SweetnShameless i am weeping from laughing so hard at you fucking dummies in the occupy movement, the 99% support the police by the way -we say more riot gas please

[shaydemoon]

When America starts putting protesters in so-called free speech zones, it is time to fight back. War is nothing new in America, civil rights wars, equal rights wars, slavery wars ect. Fighting back is what real Americans do. It is time to rise.

REVOLUTION...

[helljumper51]

I dont understand why the protesters respond with violence. yes the police used more force than necessarily, but if you fight back it will only be worse. instead of making the police look like that are attacking peaceful protesters, now it looks like they are quelling a violent mob.

[v3rybadn3wz]

fuckin pigs!

[KevinSupportsProp215]

@Evenwas616 All depends on what perspective/task you are considering of winning/losing.

[Evenwas616]

@KevinSupportsProp215 The more fights the movement picks, the more fights the movement loses.

[LaaaMaZ]

@KingcgcGaming2 ah hahaha! great! even thou the big shots on the top r greedy like politicians etc, but dont think it will do any diffrent with a smaller demonstration :P
