Tacit acceptance of brutality, against the unarmed, is what police officers have come to represent. Any and all responsibility to prove otherwise, lay clearly and solely with them. May the least brutish amongst them, find a solution to this incredibly simple quandry.
They are arresting their own, alright, but not the oathbreakers:
I am honored to live in country with this guy. I know he's not alone.
That little guy pushing could do with a rope and pull from a bit of a distance. What courage.
I bet the media, run by some money rich CEO turns this around and tries to claim this was an OWS protester dressed like a police officer... just like them to twist facts.
If the next renegade in uniform, is tackled by his fellow officers, before he can mace a group of peaceful kids, you may see quite what you least expect, as far as support from the media.
@powertothepeople. Love the cartoon. :)
Q: You refer to solar power for the undeveloped and rural?
Thx, I must give credit where credit is due.
It is from http://macleodcartoons.blogspot.com/2011/11/what-occupy-movement-is-about.html
And I found it via Glenn Greenwald's column on Salon:

Thank you. Of course you also deserve credit for bringing it to our attention. Thank you again. :)
US policing today is not andy&mayberry 50 years ago. Today cops are recruited after urban warfare tours in Iraq-Afghan, essentially cops are ex-mercenary killers. The PR agencys hired by the banks have done an excellent job of demonizing OWS children as deserving abuse. The cops use the tools they're given, if the mayors didn't want its citizens maced, or beat with sticks, or ears destroyed by sound-cannons they wouldn't arm the officers such. The courts have ruled that the police are PRAETORIANS, so long as they protect the court, they can do what they with with the masses, this was upheld by the supreme court in 1950's. Police know who controls them and their light at the end of the tunnel is their retirement check, now that the US crumbles that HOPE will crumble so in time the police will come around. The police were brought to power by the 1%, never forget that Courts have ruled that the police job is not to protect the citizen, the job of the police is protect government personal and government property.
The real danger of confrontation is loss of teeth, when you get old you never repair from a concussion when they beat your head with a stick, or knock you to the grounc. Enjoy your health and youth while you can, but NEVER forget that as you age, the damage done by the police is non-recoverable.
Killing the unarmed by modern city police is as old as the first police department in the 1890's designed in Boston to terminate Unionism. Then and now the people hired to be police are typically sadomasochists. One only has to view the cop at UCDAVIS yesterday pepper-spraying to see the pleasure that pain on others brings to him.
DUDE study YOUR history, In the 1950's the supreme court ruled the police are not obligated to protect the people, their ONLY job is to protect the court personal and court property.
This decision came from a famous LA case where a woman was raped and the police did NOT come, in the 1950's. So contrary to urban MYTH the police were NEVER there to save your ass or protect you.
The police ONLY exist to protect government property and government leaders (1%)
What is with the teeth and the beating thing?
No police force can sustain itself for long, by brutally preying upon its own citizenry, regardless of what courts say.
The banks just handed Madison Avenue ten's of millions to manage the PR, to demonize OWS, you haven't seen anything yet.
The one thing this kleptocracy does well, is feed the masses SHIT on TV.
The banks can't fight OWS with reason, but they can fight with lies. The banks want the masses to stay home and watch TV and live in fear.
The banks want home-land security to cavity check your ass every time you leave your home.
OWS will be portrayed as TERRORISTS this is the GOAL. Which means OWS protesters will be sent to places like Guantanamo.
What you say seems true. The court of public opinion, has so far, been dependent upon the news media of the worlds largest military contractor. As the global political landscape adjusts to a more modern approach, those accustomed to controlling media in order to control politics are left unarmed as the internet grows in scope.
Just study the history of the Bonus Boy's from 1932, this whole thing is playing out exactly the same. They lived in tents and were castigated by the press. It was during the depression as now. Eventually the president sent in the tanks and destroyed their camps, and the images trickled out, the following year the election of HOOVER was destroyed and FDR won. Whenever you have a bad economy, a terrible depression like now, and people hit the streets and camp-out, this has happened a dozen times in US history, all during economic crisis. The PRESS demonizes the poor who camp. So that the other poor don't go participate, once the government has everyone hating the camper's or protesters, they then send in the GOON's to kill them. Exactly like how we took out Libya, or Iraq,.. first you demonize, then kill. To think that our government does not do this to US citizens is crazy, that's why studying the 'bonus boys' is essential. It's one of the greatest story's in US history and its NOT taught in pubic education.
The internet will be controlled, you'll be required to have a 'license' for use, and if you are deemed a problem your license will be revoked. It's coming. A problem could be anything, but most likely it will be for supporting "Palestine".
Thank you for your reply. Your analogy is hauntingly accurate. I can easily see that scenario repeating itself, almost verbatim, especially when upon regrouping, the Bonus Boys were rewarded, with a wonderful opportunity, to enhance Roosevelts' campaign chances. In return, Roosevelt was rewarded, with the wonderful opportunity to enhance his campaign chances. I see that scenario also manifesting itself, soon. Regarding demonization, may I refer to the Hutu and the Tutsi. Sometimes, the all powerful "goon squad" of today is the machete fodder of tomorrow. I am certain the internet will be censored at every opportunity by those who need to censor it, but the very need to censor it, is a serious weakness on their part and any failed attempts to do so, will lead to highly adverse circumstance for them. Lastly, yes, support for Palestine already has connotations of terrorism attached to it by those who oppose and fear its freedom.

Hi gollum. I don't think the PR agencies are doing well. The images we see of the police manhandling peaceful protestors is being highlighted by the media, and is considered at best an overreaction by the public.
Perhaps this is because the gullible and weak-minded public, already dulled and dumbed down by the present media empire has convinced themselves that this is just another Reality TV Show?
Have you seen the movie DALLAS ?! Do you want to get rid of cunning people (J.R.)!? Vote petition on the Internet : http://wh.gov/jkl
The OWS philosophy toward police : In the desert I saw a creature, naked, bestial, Who, squatting upon the ground, Held his heart in his hands, And ate of it. I said: "Is it good, friend?" "It is bitter- bitter," he answered; " But I like it Because it is bitter, And because it is my heart."
Profane, yet savory. Deep thought went into that little tale.
