People are not insects.
What demonizes the Police and Security is not the reaction of the public, but the actions of a few over zealous (and mentally ill) Guards and Cops who think they have Gestapo privileges.
The OWS movement is the best hope for standing up for the pensions that will soon be robbed from public servants and the rights of their children.
It is the RESPONSIBILITY of the Sane Cops and Security personnel to reign in the CRAZIES in your Ranks and defend the people. That is your oath.
and if they are your Superior in Rank - ALL THE MORE REASON!
The Horror of this casual attitude towards torturing innocent, non-violence!
Who is the threat in these images! Is this the future of the US Security program?

Hey moron, what about the police who were injured by the occupy idiots in SF, are you going to turn those occupy members in? And please don't compare the police in our great country to the gestapo. the gestapo wouldn't have used pepper spray, i think history shows that they (the gestapo) used slightly harsher methods of enforcement.
Your first words are investigatory thus nullifying the value of any further words.
Mr FawkesNews, i don't think that 'Hey moron', is investigatory. All your words after 'Thus' were nullified by pompousness.
I concede to comedy.
:) likewise
Who showed up dressed in Riot Gear with Batons in hand?
Surely you cannot be such a dunce to not recognize the instigator of violence.
When those cops get screwed out of their pensions they will rue the day they acted a Goon squads against the voice of reason ans freedom.
They must be more than mercenary morons and live up to their Oaths to protect and defend the public, ... not the corporate Nazi Network.
I was only doing what they told me was wrong in the Concentration Camps as well as in College Campuses andthe streets of the United States
The police are protecting/defending the public. Have you looked at the Occupier's, they are the violent out of control party. Look in the mirror, you'll see a left wing , violent, terrorist. The police are the good guys, radicals like you, the enemy.
Most of the cops are good and decent people - it is their responsibility to stop the "crazies" from abuse and brutality - or eventually it will be more than pepper spray.
The enemy is violence and power gone mad.
If I were a cop and was told to go into a large mob that was breaking the law by occupying a public street and blocking traffic, I certainly would NOT go without riot gear. You never know when a crowd will get out of control when you have to tell them to stop breaking the law.
Do you allow people to break the law just because they outnumber you and tell you, "No, we want to keep breaking the law, so we're going to?" Or do you do as much as is necessary to bring them into compliance with the law. After all, it is THEIR choice as to whether they want to keep breaking it or are willing to comply.
The Occupy movement is a much-needed thing and long overdue, but protestors still have to obey the same laws everyone else does. The right to free speech and to peaceable assembly is NOT and NEVER HAS BEEN the right to break ordinary peace time laws that are in place for reasons having nothing to do with limiting your speech. We do not allow jay walking because we want traffic to be able to drive without running over people and we want people to be able to get where they need to go without having to fight others to get there. These laws have nothing to do with limiting speech or assembly, and there is no reason people who are exercising their right to assemble and to speak should think doing so gives them the right to break other laws.
Thus, the police will use AS MUCH FORCE as is necessary to bring people back into compliance with the law in order to protect everyone else's right to use those same streets.

it is legal to protest in the United States ... read the Bill of Rights.
cut the shit - the violence is provoked by the police. don't even waste your time responding if you can't accept that
I didn't see anything in the Bill of Rights that guaranteed the right to protest. I saw the right to free speech and the right to assemble. I didn't see anything about the right to break OTHER laws while doing so. Does the right to protest give me the right to murder as a form of speech or to slap someone as a form of speech or to slander them? The right to free speech does not give me the right to break ANY law. It gives me only the right to talk while obeying the same laws everyone else has to obey.

you are quite the strict watchdog against basic freedoms. What Tank's payroll are you on?
Never been a part of any think tank. All the ones I've seen are too ideological for me. I am a watchdog for basic freedoms. I believe in the right of people to cross the street without you standing like a bully in their way just because you have a bigger crowd you're standing with. Your argument fell to nothing as soon as you had to go back to the bill of rights to find where it gives you the permission to break laws. You'll find no right to anarchy in the Bill of Rights

Dave, Please continue to be a watchdog for basic freedoms and have a good Thanksgiving
Thanks, Common. Appreciate it. You, too.
