Forum Post: FOX NEWS just reported police chiefs right across USA will get tougher!

Posted 13 years ago on Oct. 28, 2011, 9:18 p.m. EST by Scout (729)
This content is user submitted and not an official statement

they just reported this morning it is the intention of police chiefs in numerous cities across America to use the same heavy-handed tactics as they did in Oakland. Come on people how long are you all going to sit back and not call out members of the Obama administration to support YOU ?!!!! why was it okay to give guns and ammunition to the Libyan rebels in the name of democracy and freedom and yet the White House does nothing to protect its own citizens who are peacefully protesting?

the outcome in oakland seems to bear the point. oakland got tuff. and then it won the battle and lost the war, ceding the park to the occupy.

ANY crackdown of ANY sort will only prove that the government is evil and that our rights are not respected and don't exist.

For every person they put in jail there is a network of people that effects- 6 or 7 degrees of separation later, that means that every jailed victim represents 10 more people who will rise to take their place.

So long as the protesters remain themselves non violent, anything the pigs do to them only digs the pit deeper, and only alrerts more people to the fact of government corruption and government colluding with corporations to silent dissent.

EVERY move they make against us only makes the movement stronger.

and in fact in game theory, or, in analysis from game theory, the ONLY smart thing to do is IGNORE the occupies until they die down. Confronting the occupies only FEEDS the collective angst and frustration.

Agree.

it's not rocket science is it? So why are they behaving the way they are?

[-] 2 points by gawdoftruth (3698) from Santa Barbara, CA 13 years ago

simple. fear. the oligarchs know that we have every reason to revolt and remove them. They will do anything they can to stay in power, including for instance break into my computer and delete hundreds of files.

Failing to understand that i keep copies of my work plastered all over the net, they can't really delete me, they can only destroy my back ups.

Etc.

In short, they are behaving this way because they are control fiends and control fiending has worked for them so far. its still technically working because of the moron anarchist contingent which prevents organization and etc. They will try to co opt the movement, they will try to infilitrate it, they will try every dirty trick in the book.

But all such tricks wil lfail because critical mass has been achieved. It will grow exponentially, esp as soon as it gets lucid and gets its head out of its ass for dealing solidly with the issues.

I think they're starting to get a clue that the boots on the street are just the tip of the iceberg.

We need to be on the look out for any legislation to restrict the web, they're going to try to slip stuff under our noses.....

I don't know if they can do anything though or if it's too late. I been saying for a while that if the powers that be weren't so busy enjoying the fruits of the people's labor and actually spent a day poking around online they'd shut the internet off tomorrow. It's doubly true now. Stupidest thing the 1%'s ever did though was not pay all the geeks off, a lot of them are on our side.

[-] 1 points by gawdoftruth (3698) from Santa Barbara, CA 13 years ago

it would ultimately prove to be yet again a problem of sheer numbers. 1000 fed agents could shut the internet down for a few months but millions of minds will be working the problem; ultimately they can't long term compete with the sheer man power difference. As we become aware of other ways they lie and manipulate us trying to control the internet more really only escalates in a direction they can't afford for us to go nuclear.

As it is, somehow they manage to excuse hacking my computer and wiping away information, lying to the public and assorted fraud and etc. the more of this they do they more obvious it is and the more transparent the game becomes. I'm not a hacker or a techie but lets get serious. If the feds cracked down on the internet they are facing a giant think tank that moves eventually around that in evolutionary ways. there are multiple proofs of this all the way up to things like pirate bay. Extra ordinary efforts are in fact made to censor and control and manipulate the internet. Every move they make is recorded in the collective unconscious, at some level all lies are transparent to all of us subliminally. Thus every such move that is made creates very quick turnaround karma. I'd beta anonymous against the feds in a hacking war any day.

Fox news is an oxymoron. Anyone who regularly watches multiple new stations knows they are not doing any real journalism. The whole purpose of their existence is to help the special interest maintain their hold on power (MSNBC is the same thing - propaganda and spin). If America would actually wake up to the fact that our democracy has been taken over by a corporate neo-feudalism, the cops WOULD all band together to arrest the true crooks.

"It is the intention of police chiefs in numerous cities across America to use the same heavy-handed tactics as they did in Oakland."

If that is true, it can only make the Movement STRONGER. That's what we learned during the Civil Rights Struggle of the Sixties.

The more police brutality people see on TV or youtube, the more OUTRAGED they will be and soon America will OCCUPY EVERYWHERE.

My question is why isn't Obama (for the people) interceding all this police action???????? No, I am not a troll ... just a 64 year old (tomorrow) lady.

[-] 1 points by TIOUAISE (2526) 13 years ago

I sense that you still trust Obama to do the right thing and I know where you're coming from. I used to have GREAT ADMIRATION for the man... until I realized that behind Dr. Jekyll's mask lurked a Dr. Hyde.

As I wrote an hour ago, Obama is the Master Manipulator, the Great Deceiver, the Prince of Hypocrites... and the soon-to-be-defunct Democratic Party is a cesspool of greed, hypocrisy and corruption.

I predict that one day this man and his party will be investigated by a "WTP (We The People) Tribunal" and that it WILL be televised and that it will NOT be pretty.

P.S. Happy Birthday!

[-] 1 points by PandaMe73 (303) from Oakland, CA 13 years ago

Democrat/Republican

Same thing.

They are both morally bankrupt and corrupt.

[-] 0 points by TIOUAISE (2526) 13 years ago

Agree.

I predict that one day both parties will be FULLY investigated by a "WTP (We The People) Tribunal" and that it WILL be televised and that it will NOT be pretty.

WHY would you indeed??? Obama has done EVERYTHING to lose the trust of the American people.

I agree with you but surely they are not that dumb that the puppet masters don't understand this?part of me keeps asking the question are people being intentionally herded like sheep into a pen ready for something else?

Easy Scout, easy boy. If it came from FOX it's just more propaganda to freak out the idiots that still believe them. These cops have the same skin in the game that we do. They won’t attack their relatives. They are not FOX believers

[-] 1 points by Scout (729) 13 years ago

how can you honestly say that?! don't be so naive!We now know that JP Morgan gave NYPD $4 million plus the biggest donation ever.these police forces are nothing more than private security outfits for the banksters. They are not serving the people

[-] 1 points by Democracydriven (658) 13 years ago

I think you are a little paranoid.

I am sure there is plenty of political pressure from the crooks on wall street on the mayor and the chief of police

In the end we are all victims of Wall Street and government collusion

The police are being fucked just as hard as we are and they know it. Be sure of this JP Morgan would never give a dime to the union and the police know it.

NYC does have rent-a-cop. Big banks and corporations rent them out by the day and pay the city for them. Giulianni started it.

you say I am being paranoid !Time will tell!

[-] 1 points by Democracydriven (658) 13 years ago

I agree, nobody knows for sure, but I also have been around long enough to not get as alarmed as when I was younger

Sorry I called you paranoid, I should have said overly concerned. Anyway good luck and I hope you are wrong (-:

[-] 0 points by Scout (729) 13 years ago

and I am old enough not to underestimate the possibility of tyrannical leaders. you only need to look at history to know that. I have also personally visited countries like North Korea and Cuba so perhaps my over concern emanates from feeling the atmosphere in those countries

[-] 0 points by Democracydriven (658) 13 years ago

Hey bud you seem to be making shit up now

How did you get in and out of North Korea

Did you manage to get Iran while on that vacation?

[-] 0 points by Scout (729) 13 years ago

I don't understand? There is not an absolute prohibition against visiting North Korea? Even CNN crews have been there?Ted Turner has been there several times. But I have never been to Iran

If this is true, it just reveals the tone-deafness and incompetence of the current establishment that OWS has been so successful at highlighting.

Every act of police brutality against peaceful protestors has served to strengthen the movement. Why don't these idiots realize that?

[-] 1 points by WatTyler (263) 13 years ago

Aside from being the primary organ for right wing propaganda, Fox News is very often just, plain, wrong. Worse than a waste of time.

[-] 0 points by Scout (729) 13 years ago

if you are so obsessed with only believing the news from certain sources and disregarding the content, then the people who OWS are trying to unseat have already got this movement over a barrel. I suppose you think all persuasions of MSM have represented OWS with such a balanced and fair coverage ? ha ha

[-] 1 points by Dalton (194) 13 years ago

Fox News reported this? Good, we can all breathe a sigh of relief in the certain knowledge that it isn't going to happen.

[-] 1 points by DRMartin789 (287) from Broomfield, CO 13 years ago

Hmmm, well, I've accumulated 6 weeks of vacation (the maximum) so maybe I'll take a few weeks off and join those whom the police crack down on the hardest.

[-] 1 points by monjon22 (508) 13 years ago

The Obama administration? Really? If you are looking to Obama or any other mainstream politician, you are lost. He is probably telling FOX what to report.

[-] 1 points by Windsofchange (1044) 13 years ago

Welcome to a police state folks. I fear what would happen when the troops come back from Iraq. Will they be put to work to?

Neverless, I say Viva la Revolution!!!!!!

BTW, Fox news promotes propaganda and lies. But with that said, if we have more incidents like the one in Oakland then we are truly in a police state.

OWS Leaders- if you want this movement to succeed you have to transfer this into a political entity - the sooner the better! Otherwise is no point...........

Scout: why was it okay to give guns and ammunition to the Libyan rebels ....

So is it the case that supporters of the First Amendment, and supporters of the Second Amendment, are totally non-intersecting sets?

[-] 1 points by MattLHolck (16833) from San Diego, CA 13 years ago

what does the Obama administration have to do with this?

what about congress?

what about big money influence?

[-] 0 points by Scout (729) 13 years ago

exactly what about them?! The politicians couldn't stop praising the virtues of democracy throughout the Middle East and yet you can hear a pin drop regarding their own people in USA

[-] 1 points by sabran74 (7) 13 years ago

it is to them decide, where they are going for policing or they are serving as police for the constitution object ,

[-] 0 points by Scout (729) 13 years ago

the answer to that should be readily apparent now that we know that JP Morgan gave NYPD $4 million. even Blind Freddie can see that the police are there like private security organisations to protect the oligarchy

[-] 1 points by sabran74 (7) 13 years ago

oligarchy=if you paradigm of this like for those concern then your appreciation has greater concern about "can see that the police are there like private security organisations to protect" so look the matter with positive then other you follows look positive and you will be privileged for that .rgd.

While I believe Fox News works overtime to completely discredit this movement, I also sense fear. Power to the People!

However, I don't want to see anymore episodes like what happened to the Occupy Oakland protestors. If more and more of these episodes happen. Then I must come to the conclusion that we are in a police state.

BTW, the critics of the movement keep saying over and over again that the think that we , OWS protestors and supporters, will start getting violent. They keep saying that violence will come out of all this protesting. Why do they say that? So when the police and whoever else come down hard on the OWS occupiers/protestors and supporters, it will seem justified. Watch out everyone they want to paint us all to be a bunch of out of control anarchists.

How do you guys go from one moment saying that everything on Fox is complete bullshit and then the next believing something like this. It's like a logic light switch to turn on or off whatever suits your conspiracy purposes at the time. lol
