@kcpoynter Really? Have you even seen the video? An English professor, who was trying to protect her students, got her ass beat by the police who are supposed to be there to protect them.

Although I'm not really for the occupy movement as a whole, the brutality against students who are protesting budget cuts, unit caps, and hugely inflated tuition is appalling. I'm having to pay for less classes this upcoming semester, and although I'm not protesting, we're all outraged.

"I have to work 30 hours a week?" wah wah wah Really? Is that too much? I worked 40 hours a week, went to school, supported my wife and kids. Borrowed what I needed to get my degree. Graduated, got my first job making 25/k a year. I still made ends meet. Now, after years of hard work, my loans are paid, I'm debt free, and saving for retirement. I have no special skill that anyone else can't achieve! You are the laziest, 'what about me?' generation EVER. YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!

I'm not protesting the banks other than the Federal Reserve having the right to print fake money. I do not feel sorry for people who signed a home loan with a 20+ percent interest and couldn't actually afford the payments. Use your brains people! We caused this economic collapse. The banks just gave us a means to do so.

Police do serve and protect, but they also uphold the law when it is being broken! Police are not here to kiss the azsez of people who decide they are going to protest.

[lovelylittlelife]

look up the force continuum for police officers. If you disobey a lawful order made by the police and ignore it then what should have happened? Oh the police should have walked away right?

@Forni1111 U could have kept this shit 2 yourself. cuz this shit u said is just fukin dumb.

[ws363139videomakerZ]

If I was there I would put a bullet in each one of those pigs heads.

@Forni1111 is irrelevant to you, stfu and get off the youtube, dumbass, wake up sheep

[Forni1111]

Fuck off protestors. You blocked/impeded how many police officers? You were way out of line. The cops were overly patient with you fucktards.

With so many other things going on in the world, in our states and in our neighborhoods, how much the banks make (because you get loans from them you stupid fucks) is irrelevant to me. There are plenty of more useful protests/causes these misinformed idiots can spend their time on.

Go visit your local soup kitchen and make a difference

@WillifordManson You sir are a fucking dumb fuck, and if you were here right now I would shoot in, take you down and break your shoulder with an americana, then spit on you. Drinking and driving is illegal as fuck, our constitution doesn't say anything about you having the right to drink and drive and put people at risk. I'm pretty sure drinking and driving isn't a victimless crime. You should just turn your ears off when your parents are talking about politics and such. pussy

@WillifordManson you fail at paralleling metaphors.
