Brilliant

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

Quote:

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?!!?!?

my guess is you never had interactions with cops

I had sex with an off duty female officer back in the 90's if that counts.

it's not a bad thing, but it does make his statement on what can and can't happen from cops in riot gear handling a crowd a little suspect. For the record, in the military, as a MP stationed in Germany, we practiced riot control a lot. Lots of bad things can happen to people who want to be agitators.

My main point was the article had pinned that on the cops when it was not known what happened to the guy. If you had to choose from the following which one is most likley to crack a skull.

Bean bag bullets
Pepper spray containers
large rocks flying through the air

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.

Your point is wrong.

Watch the video. The guy in the video will point out this cop that throws a flash bang grenade while people are trying to help this guy who's laying injured on the ground. It's sickening and it should cost that guy his job.

This is another thing I'm sick and tired of. Blaming everything on the other person and not the cops. Guess what? If you haven't been paying attention much, cops are just as bad as the crooks these days(some hyperbole). Look no further than the thread above to see some of the shit they do, and this doesn't count the stuff that isn't caught. Don't assume 1) these people were throwing anything 2) cops don't lie

Cops and and law enforcement have shown time and time again to **** up, and then lie and cover it up. I'm willing to bet you my life nobody was throwing rocks or bottles at the protest. They hadn't been so why all of a sudden now? No. The cops even stated their intentions of tear gas/extreme force and they followed through as well.

That video sucks.
I couldnt tell what was happening and I couldnt tell him from anyone else or who hit what.

firstdown · 10-28-2011, 11:02 AM

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.
