The OWS protests continue across the US and as the police continue to crackdown on protesters after violent clashes and arrests over the weekend, some activists believe that police have gone too far in their reliance on excessive force. Activist Timothy Frawls told RT that the problem has a lot to do with the militarization of police, which was ramped up in the aftermath of 9/11.

  • The most noteworthy or the interview: today's increasing amount of police brutality is due to the MILITARIZATION OF POLICE. Hence, every time I go down to OWS, there are cops standing there is FULL riot gear while people are sitting peacefully and discussing.

  • we outnumber the police a thousand to one

  • @robbnc1 you are an idiot. The whole idea is that they are attacking peaceful people, how in the hell do you expect our movement to be accepted and encouraged when we're beating the shit out of cops just doing what they are told? Violent people like you discredit these movements and are a disgrace to these peoples views. You attack just like these cops do, you are no better

  • @saqsex Yea right. Humans don't even know what the word peace means.

  • @ClockIsRunningOut most americans dont choose that way, its the leaders. the 1% control the country and starve the rest. the 99%

  • the pigs come in and infringe on the rights of non-violent protesters and if that doesn't work, they send in black clad "anarchist" plants to stir shit up and give them an excuse to bash some skulls and make arrests. This is a totalitarian nightmare, and the so-called "liberal media" in the U.S.A.. is ignoring this aspect. Truly sad.

  • @ClockIsRunningOut compare income to debt lol, instead of just blurring out bs

  • @JasonWelks GO TO HELL SATAN; NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU SAY.
