Thank GOD those police are doing the right thing and keeping the peace, while PROTECTING the people.

It seems these officers remember the oath they took,...... to PROTECT AND SERVE.

Good and honorable work gentlemen.

[bungerman1000]

the police are in the 99% as well.

[AtheistFMD518]

I wonder if anyone seeing this video now know about the police breaking up the camp recently.

[CodysFavorites]

these ""occupiers"" will be pacified by some smooth talking, B.S. slinging politician , they qwill be lied to and they will fall for it yet one more time

[TheFritzbob]

and what other laws are they disregarding today, ? ? should I call and see ?? if the laws are made and the police pick and choose which to enforce then thats not freedom, these people suck, they decide there will be no drinking, why not ,??they are no better than what they are protesting against, throw them out

[satanheartsme]

yep. Our cops up here in albany are being very cool with us. Thanks albany pd !

[me25422]

@bungerman1000 maybe, as they could be considered blue collar workers, yet they protect the one percent. so this means they can't be trusted. Don't let stories such as these allow you to forget who they will ultimately protect.

[AR1STONE]

Yes! This is what NEEDS to be done. Keep police on our side

[SkuIICrusherGhost]

These hippies sleep on dog terd sidewaks.

[alkatifa04]

that's a 1st sign right there!!

[MrTruestu]

hopefully the 1st of many HERE WE GO!

[LANDSHARK7130]

A government department thinking for itself and not blindly taking orders. Now that's news.

[AnotherNutJob]

Wow I am shocked, good cops do exists, I thought they went extinct.

[pauloscum]

@pjamesbda i only know the basics really but i know what can be done... 5theres a famous lawyer who wins every case by suspending the judge so it can be done certainly. how you get leverage is you get a greedy lawyer to threaten suits on congress... then when a judge breaks the law hes on his own. lol but thats why we are losing... we have to learn to speak thier language. words can have very specific meanings & how u use them can literally fuck o0ver any opposition.

The 1st Amendment never sleeps....

Free speech and peaceful assembly has no curfew....

Albany Politics: career politicians. N.Y. State Gov't. most corrupt in nation. Part-time legislators who have highest pay in nation. In New Hampshire, one of the largest state legislatures, they get a $100 stipend a year. Go Figure!

We need term limits bad in New York, and consolidation of villages, towns, cities, and county functions, like police and fire departments, et cetera- already.
