NYPD officers give peaceful protester a concussion during OCCUPY WALL STREET

As you can clearly see, the protester was acquiescing to police arrest, when the officer in the orange windbreaker knocked him to the ground. This was on 9/24/2011 when 2,000~ people marched from Wall Street to Union Square in New York City.

The police can only beat people for so long. Eventually the people will fight back. Enjoy your worthless paper money if that happens.

i find it utterly amusing how many retarded people talkin trash bout peaceful protesters yet always support violent ones. you are a bunch of retards! i dare you to try to rebuke me. attacking peaceful protesters makes no sense. if you were the one being beaten for no reason you would not dare mock these people. stop going against your own interest by voting for idiots for president. and since when do we need a permit to organize protests. its a given right.

@LRO1986 You make a lot of assumptions and use a lot of labels to justify your views. The reality is that police routinely cause violence against non-violent people. Pigs are the criminals.

I thought most of you jobless stinky trendy hippies were vegans? Not every cop there is a bad person. Theyre just doing that thing that none of you scums do because you live off of your rich parents........theyre doing their jobs.

@surg23 You want to defend protestors engaged in an exercidse in futility by gouging the officer's eyes out, right? Accordomg to you, 90% of Chicago cops ought to be waiting for people just like you. Step up!

[surg23]

@timmiet47321 Step up to what ? ...these protests are nothing more than an exercise in futility. There is nothing short of a civil revolt that could fix the bullshit we call a system of government.

[timmiet47321]

@surg23 Another keyboard warrior. Identify yourself and step up! Occupy Chicago is just around the corner.

@stkt1986 I made over $60,000 this year, and they are out there for taxation with representation. I lost a third of my income to taxes that I am ashamed to have been forced to pay for. Most of these people have jobs.

Too funny, this meaningless protest of lazy fools wanting successful peoples money. Get a job, losers. Until then, get pepper sprayed on video, so we can laugh at you! Haha....tools.

cops nowadays don't know or don't care about the people's right to free speech or even the rest of the bill of rights. For some reason they think that government shouldn't be questioned. They would make the perfect red coats of the colonial times
