fuck the police

[peterjoseph005]

It's time for change thats obvious. I want you all to look into a Resource Based Economy and The Zeitgeist Movement.

@texxs01 also there was the one that they took down. He obviously went to try and assault the officer.

[TheWhosoever316]

@texxs01 you're blind. The protestor was pushing the bike back. The cop obviously asked them to move but they refused so he stepped on it. Occupiers are not smart at all... sorry but its true, wanna change something? Then put down your signs, stop your chants, and stop blocking traffic by occupying streets and actually get out in the world and do something to change it for the better rather than pissing others off.

@texxs01 Interesting take on the situation...but...um...judge agreed that it was an assault and the main Occupy attacker got jail time on felony charges. Did I mention that he also had felony warrants for his arrest before this incident? Poor peaceful protester defending himself. And the motors officer never got in any trouble at all, but you knew that didn't you? Typical Occupy sympathizer; one of the reasons no one takes them seriously anymore.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHH WTF?? That's attacking?? LMFAO!!! Attacking is when a country suppresses it's people than pushes them down when they stand up. No sympathy for Constitution Dead-beat Police Officers.

[texxs01]

"RegularGuys" are liars? I think not.

[texxs01]

That was in no way, by any stretch of the imagination a protestor attacking a policeman. In fact it was a protestor defending himself and others from a policeman who decided to use a motorcycle as a weapon.

Never once was the officer touched, never once did anyone try to touch the police officer AND this officer was suspended from his job by his superiors for trying to ride a motorcycle into a crowd of people (a felony if a non-police officer does this).

liberals in action

[BallsInYourJawsBitch]

So non violent, unlike those awful tea party people!

[LordAkaneon]

Every Occupy protest is the same. A couple folks actually are willing to get arrested... The rest of them don't even know why they're protesting. Real class warfare doesn't have a political affiliation (like Democrat or Republican) or a social one (like Occupy). Why can't we just have mass riots? Do we need to accomplish something? It'll be fun if everyone does it, they can't arrest us all, you cowards.

@2204Alpha You have it backwards, the 2 people who got arrested probably had some backbone, the other 498 some-odd probably wet themselves
