  • i'd like to see the interview unedited...that being said...

    he never denies being an "infiltrator" and actually confirms that he is one with statements of "objective", all the while appealing to the connotation of what an "infiltrator" is and trying to distance himself from that connotation by reinforcing his role as citizen who identifies with the 99% even though he "still has a JOB to do".

    after all that lip service the last few seconds reveal his true feelings about the protesters IMHO.

  • @shmoopify So what right did you have to incite that violence toward yourselves by deeming a peaceful march unlawful. Do you even know the law or do you just do what your told by your superiors cause they say it's so. and if so where is this law that deems peaceful protest unlawful?

  • Too bad some of the guys at the Nuremberg Trials didn't get to make Youtube Interview videos like this... I wonder how similiar they might sound?

    "I'm a lot of things right...I'm a boyfriend...a man... a Nazi...a freelance photographer...a citizen of the Third Reich...", etc...

    If you are a police officer for the 99% and against shooting tear gas at protester's heads and such...you should be telling that to the other police officers...not some PR guy so I can hear your excuses.

  • after listening to your blabla, tried at least cause you make no damn sense, you have no intelligence what's so ever to have a comprehensive dialogue, I couldn't follow your thoughts cause they are to dumbed down for me!

  • You're just anti-human asshole! You are so dumb that you do the dirty work for the worst criminals the world has ever known, no excuses can be given for your actions, you are just an animal with very low IQ, which is the #1 pre-requist to be a police officer in the USA.

  • The elites are clever they try to set us up against one another. They know how to play on human subconscious. This is what they spent billions of dollars on reaserch on, to divide and conquer. But if we wake up, and rise up above our animal instincts, we have a chance to unite. People, Police, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. We are all people and if we act responsibly toward one another there will be no violence. Than the true self serving manipulating cowards will scatter like cockroaches.

  • He's full of shit. Watch his twitches, facial movements. Acid reflux kicks in a few times as well. Fucking liar. He's a PIG! Violence against the innocent, it's alright if you're on the payroll. Then he uses the "black man card". He's more worried about his job, then he is change. He labels occupy protesters as people who can just take time off their job, with no worries, but he can't!?!?! Fuck you asshole! These people are making a bigger sacrifice then you ever will in your fucking life!

  • fuck you pig

  • So cops can't be frustrated with the way government is being run? They can't have the same opinions of the problems in the country, and not fulfill their oath to protect their city. Occupy is losing credibility by alienating people that may agree with them.

  • lose the badge and you'll be part of the 99%. before that day, you're just a tool of the ruling class. please stop trying to justify your infiltration.

  • not feelin it,copper

  • look if this guy is on the clock while being in plan cloths then yes it is wrong get back in uniform damn what is wrong with ppl
