Uncommon courage, we need a lot more like him.

[-] 1 points by FawkesNews (1290) 13 years ago

So do the police.

Thanks a lot...

oh definitely -- thank you for your service and for your stand on American soil, our soil as you pointed out

[-] 1 points by FawkesNews (1290) 13 years ago

The most fervent defense of any country, comes when it has to protect its own citizens from foreign enemies, on its own soil. Those loyal not to America have infiltrated our country and will inevitably encounter the same wrath others before them have. Americans homogenize rapidly against a common enemy.

frankly i worry more about apathy and cynicism in my own country

[-] 1 points by FawkesNews (1290) 13 years ago

your "own" country?

[-] 1 points by MechanicalMoney (208) 13 years ago

There are two corps protecting the governement :

1°) Army to defend against external dangers.

2°) Police to defend against internal dangers

A soldier cannot be a policeman in the same time because that's allowed to have one section defending against the other. If a uprising begins in one of the corp the second can counter. Divide to keep power...

[-] 1 points by FawkesNews (1290) 13 years ago

Some of the most threatening external dangers are living inside America like parasites in a host. Combining both corps is the method of eradicating those loyal to another nation. Patriots are more than willing to conjoin forces. I anticipate more of this.

Thank you for your response.

No problem, there are also exception like repulican guards...

[-] 1 points by FawkesNews (1290) 13 years ago

Personal security firms also.

[-] 1 points by MechanicalMoney (208) 13 years ago

Yep, i m agree with you

Wow, you really gotta admire the police restraint.

[-] 2 points by FuManchu (619) 13 years ago

You could see the embarrasment in their faces!

[-] 0 points by betuadollar (-313) 13 years ago

Well it can be humiliating to be chastised for something you did not personally do. More, it was obvious to them that the gentleman (or gentle giant) was probably high whether it be on testosterone, rage, deeply ingrained frustration, or even crack.

[-] 1 points by FawkesNews (1290) 13 years ago

I'll bet that uniform felt mighty heavy right then.

I was surprised with the lack of officers with military experience. There was just the one officer, who said he was in Iraq.

These are trying situations where those with the most tolerance and experience are being tested as never before.

[-] 1 points by tympan55 (124) 13 years ago

Those officers looked like kids.

[-] 1 points by FawkesNews (1290) 13 years ago

Scared too.

[-] 0 points by betuadollar (-313) 13 years ago

They could have cuffed him.

[-] 1 points by FawkesNews (1290) 13 years ago

I saw little interest in that plan.

[-] 0 points by betuadollar (-313) 13 years ago

I agree.

[-] 1 points by FawkesNews (1290) 13 years ago

Very trying times.

[-] 0 points by betuadollar (-313) 13 years ago

The cops are just doing overtime... NY is a dangerous place, and let's face it, OWS is prime target for every terrorist out there.

[-] 1 points by FawkesNews (1290) 13 years ago

Dialogue needs to happen soon. I believe.

These people look confused and bewildered. Cop and citizen alike.

[-] 0 points by betuadollar (-313) 13 years ago

There will be no dialogue with the police. They are there at the behest of the mayor and charged with policing and enforcing the law. In fact, they are not permitted to enter into any meaningful dialogue.

[-] 1 points by FawkesNews (1290) 13 years ago

All that frustration and mulling about with no actual plan or agenda, must be tiring and exhaustive for all involved.

Police are not so equipped for such an extended siege. It must be expensive and difficult for all involved.

[-] 0 points by betuadollar (-313) 13 years ago

Well, it's strength of force with the intent of reduced violence and it is expensive.

[-] 1 points by FawkesNews (1290) 13 years ago

Too well put.

Police and people alike have a common interest in this cause. It seems like this is all money that could be spent prosecuting corrupt bankers and politicians. That is bound to be spendy.

Trying times for all abound.
