NYPD and NYC City Hall Break Kids Hearts

Parents for Occupy Wall St. March against police brutality. Children created 5,000 paper hearts one for every peaceful protestor arrested on behalf of the Occupy Wall Street movement in the three month period leading up to the march. The children delivered them to New York City Hall for Mayor Bloomberg only for the NYPD to aggressively tear them down and apart in front of the children. Children cried and the NYPD did yet another action against peaceful protestors. We as a country should not stand for this, get involved, speak up, do something for our children's futures.

People who try to hide reality from their kids are a problem. Good on these people for getting children involved because it affects them. We had a nation wide protest against the government here in New Zealand in 2004 and there were hundreds of children involved. They were not used, they were involved. If you don't object to how your country is being run, you will forever be enslaved by your so called protectors. Great stuff!!!

@RemoteSwitch Actually, what fits the Nazis well are people who decide that all counterarguments to their opinion are only "proving their ignorance". Being so absolutely sure of your opinion is what makes a person dangerous. You are one who is ripe to become a government tool, much like the nazis. What you should be reading is 1984; your behavior is just like the populace of that book.

What I find amusing is that you probably consider yourself a patriot, when you are the opposite of a patriot.

@wowiamweird The poverty rate for US children is on the rise. Please explain how they are not involved? Please explain to them why they must go to bed hungry, again, if they even have a bed. Please explain how these parents could have possibly known the two cops would have behaved like spoiled little brats that need a permanent time out from their jobs!

This is just sic. They OBVIOUSLY only did that to prove a point. That is why some was left hanging and the rest was just left on the ground. I can't wait for these bastards to get what's coming to them.

@groobirubi "2) The occupy movement does not endorse any political candidate "

Which is one of a number of reasons why it's net political effect will be zero.

@groobirubi then shut the damn tv and computer off for them, and encourage them to read or use your time with your kids, but make them make thir own desicions, my 3 boy's was never forced to just plainly accept my belives as a communist, I knew they would find their own way in life, regardless and they have, rabiat opinions are for morons

[silkegirardeau]

the idea was good , but not what they made of it. Hysteric parents, ignarant policemen, noise , crowd... the kids are crying, because they dont understand what's going on. They might never ever have seen their parents behave this way either. First of all kids have the right to live a happily childhood ! Without having to worry, without screaming and with watching the disneychannel! By the way i completly support OWS - please continue all the good work you do - but keep the kids out!

LOLOL " occupy my pole"

These children are developing a sense of empowerment, developing a sense of leadership Other children across the world have to endure watching people get massacred before their eyes, and you are whining about these kids getting 'brainwashed' and labeling it "abuse" If anything it is making children braver, and more self-aware. It is giving them a voice, something that some of you fear, so it seems

[groobirubi]

brainwashed through school, they are brainwashed through television, they are brainwashed through religion, there are many outlets through which they are brainwashed But I would much rather see children tackling down the issues we do not want them to endure later on, NOW

This is their fight just as much as it is ours I prefer my children learning their constitution than being brainwashed by the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

[groobirubi]

because they have realized the officials in office do not Represent 'the people', they represent Profit, and profit is all they care about If you turned off your television and began to think for yourselves without propaganda intervention, you would realize this 3) The fact that these children are learning about their constitution and learning their rights, and learning about the society they live in I guess is disturbing to some of you, but I would like to remind you, that your children are
