It's a shame. Actions like this are exactly those that turn the public against these events. That douchebag should feel proud of himself, he just helped the OPD out far more than Tim ever could.

Transparency is required to expose the unjust actions of police, show the struggle of the people, and rally the public to action. Aggressive anti-transparency tactics like this will only make the public write off the movement as made up of thugs and morons.

@Nycprotestor Are you suggesting streamers and the press, who often attempt to show the stark contrast between peaceful marches and actions of protesters and the oppressive acts of the police, ignore any and all illegal activity that protesters may be engaging in, instead of the protesters actually holding themselves to the standard by which they wish to be treated themselves? That's hypocrisy.

We should hold no one person to a higher standard than we would hold ourselves.

@zck7 police have disguised themselves as black bloc before, wouldn't come as much of a surprise if you're right.

I know little about Tim Pool, or weather he can be trusted, people vouch for him, fair enough... But, that being said, we do need cameras rolling at all times. To show what is truly happening, e.g police brutality so... Just beware that red squads are also filming you, be careful who you trust and be safe. Bless.

Can anyone please point me to information about how to live stream video to the internet using a handheld camera (like Timcast was doing here)? I'd really like to know what kind of equipment and software can be used to do this. Also, how to do it. Thanks to anyone who responds!

@inferno232 its obvious either it is a straight up police provocateur, or it is a person inspired by such tactics. virtually the same in effect

Get some ultra strong colour dye put some on a rag and tag the instigators and the undercover cops faces, lasts for months. People use it on crack dealers so everyone knows what they are and have to stay low for a long time.

I think that the people who are just there to cause issues need to leave now they are doing nothing but harm, there are people who know the truth of the evil big time bankers and all the corruption and deceiving in our government and these are the people out there trying to make a difference and stop it, these people out here doing nothing but giving these true freedom fighters a bad name need to just go home and play badass somewhere else

[TruthMyMamaToldMe]

nice and unclear. Why not edit the video and show the one who hit u

[WeThePeopleVStheNWO]

I'm RACIST for criticizing Obama.

TERRORIST because I'm not with Bush.

ANTISEMITIC for not supporting Rothschild Zionism.

TEABAGGER for supporting the Constitution.

TRUTH-ER for asking unanswered questions.

TRAITOR for whistle-blowing on my corrupt Government.

CONSPIRACY THEORIST for presenting documented facts.

TROLL for uploading news, videos, quotes and U.S.Atrocities.

ANTI-AMERICAN for supporting Constitutionalists like Dr. Ron Paul.

RON PAUL 2012!

Probably the instigator who hit Tim was a cop. But we could benefit from having a still shot of his face.
