'Occupy' types

Lotus you are way too serious. Jk, very well stated and can't disagree with you.

Glad we are reaching a point of agreement from both sides. Here is a pretty ironic story related to OWS and one of it's issues. I think both "sides" will find it funny.

Occupy Wall Street kitchen slowdown targets squatters - NYPOST.com

As the kitchen workers met with the “General Assembly’’ last night, about 300 demonstrators stormed from the park to Reade Street and Broadway, where they violently clashed with cops.

Officers made at least 10 arrests when rowdy demonstrators refused to get out of the street and stop blocking traffic. A dozen cops on scooters tried to force them back to the sidewalk.

Cops rock scooters in NYC?!!?!?

I'd have to vote on large rocks flying though the air.

Well riot batons and shields can cause a bit of trauma, and flying rocks may but the damage would be different then a riot baton against a skull. I imagine the doctors would be able to distinguish by the nature of the fracture.

That video actually shows that the flash of sparks actually hit a camera man wearing shorts. If you look at the video it shows Scott standing about 8' infront of the white line on the road as a camera man is running by him in shorts. Then it shows ths sparks flying (hitting something) right on the white line (1:12 in the video hit pause) and if you look that person is wearing shorts and is right where the camera man was running. Scott had on long pants and was 8' up so that could not have been him. It really does not matter because the video also does a great job covering up the cops telling the crowd repeadly that they were going to use tear gas.

Not sure of the credibility of this website but apparently Scott Olsen is not very proud of his service. The press should stop lauding him as an Iraq veteran.

The video doesn't show how the guy(scott) originally got hit, it shows that the cops didn't care whether they were a threat or not and just provoked their own violence without justification. You do realize those tear gas grenades are shot with a launcher right? Try having one of those grenades hit you in the head and tell me if you still remain standing.

At the 1:30 mark. You can see the a few individuals gathering around the down veteran to help him out. NOBODY was making any moves towards the cops. The guy highlights the cop in question and you can see him tossing a flash bang grenade right on top on them while they are trying to help him. You can hear the people saying "Help him"....and what do they do? Throw a flash bang grenade on them. ....lol WE ARE HERE TO SERVE AND PROTECT.

1:59 mark. You can see the officer tossing the grenade into the group of people trying to help the downed individual. If you can't see that, you are making excuses of bad behavior by the cops. Sickening.


Are you two guys even serious? It's plain as day and yet you can't see it?...lol People see what they want to see.

If someone would have shot the officer who threw the granade at the group, Id be satisfied.

No doubt the guy was hit by something.
And no, I did not see a police tear gas cannister hit that guy in the head.
I watched the video three times.
Were the cops heavy handed?
It looks like they were.
But without knowing what the cop's direct orders were they may have done exactly what they were told to do...right or wrong.

And for what its worth I do think the USA is turning into a bit of a police state where the cops have too much authority.

Actually I don't get the Flash Bomb but it came from behind the officer circled not him. You see on object fly over his head and another object come flying in from his right. If that was intentional that person should be punished. Other then that the people were warned with plenty of time to get off the streets and they decided to stay.

You need your eyes checked. The cop steps back, and throws the flash bang grenade under hand onto the people helping the victim. Here you are again, making excuses when it's plain as day what the guy did. They even freaking highlight it (the cop and the grenade) for you at the 1:30 mark. Not sure how you are missing this over and over again.

I see it now. Is it just me or does this video stop and start through the first half?
