Eye Of The Storm part 2 of 2

Eye of the Storm uses video footage shot by the police at events in Portland, OR to confirm how the police target citizens engaged in constitutionally protected acts of protest for harassment, assault, and arrest. The police, by their own admission, assault law-abiding protesters without provocation then lie about being provoked. These lies were carried and repeated ad-nauseum by the corporate media without any regard for the truth. The corporate media is shown being complicit in, even supportive of flagrant police misconduct. Those perceived as leaders by the police are often singled out for surveillance, assault, and arrest regardless of the fact that those individuals have broken no laws and committed no crimes. The police kept this footage despite laws prohibiting the collection of information on individuals engaged in political dissent. The police stated that activist video footage only told one side of the story, now everyone can see the other side.

Why was my comment removed? I stated that the people of this protest should band together in a lawsuit, because they did nothing illegal and therefore the riot police acted illegally against them. Why not?

Hi Neurolanis,

I didn't remove your comment. you made your comment on part 1 of this video, not part 2.

That is a good question though.

#1 it's making a political point, if you can't see that you're blind.

#2 good advice

#3 FAIR?!?!?!? did you watch the same video as me? the people have a right to protest, what is fair about planning to attack them, attacking them and then lieing about it all over the news? Why did none of the cops come forward and say, no it wasn't a bottle we just wanted to move them? because they knew what they did would be seen as wrong!

unlike mustard gas which killed so many in WW2? what happens when peper it gets in your eyes is a CHEMICAL REACTION - it is a chemical they take out of peppers, actually though pepper spraty is made from synthetic components but whatever, i know scinece is hard but here's this for size -plants contain chemicals!

I've recently learned in my social psychology class about how people of authority, when put under a significant amount of stress, can become aggressive & irrational even if they normally do not have aggression issues. I'm not saying it's an excuse. I personally do not agree with the actions of the police at this event, in fact it sickens me. I'm just saying that it's evident that humans, as intelligent and complex as we are, have limitations and behaviors that are difficult to explain

[BGregS]

Hilarious! What law is being broken? How about blocking a public roadway, obstructing an intersection, disorderly conduct etc? Doctored footage, who the hell believes this edited garbage anyway? Thanks for the laughs though!

@40ozPBR I agree got too many anarchist fags who claim people doing their jobs are nazi or faschist! Its bullshit. Get a fuckin' life and be civil.

Tear gas is baned for use against civilians, one of the many laws our government breaks daily.

Police tactics are well documented, torture,harrassment and clear bloody violence is all documented.

People who talk abour "doing research" should really do a little bit of their own before commenting.

People who are as stupid as you do not deserve freedom , that is why you will lose it.
