Video of police brutality from Wall Street protests...

[Prometheus]

I'm not a fan of msnbc but they lay out several clips quite nicely.

The video of the LT walking up to a group of women, spraying them and walking away is unbelievable.

As the commentator points out most of the cops didn't participate in the brutality, they did stand by and watch it happen.

Another video of the women being fenced into a Free Speech Zone and then attacked with chemical weapons. This clip has almost a million views already.

The fact that white shirt had to reach over the line and grab that woman to pull her over speaks volumes.

Man that's something else.. and the truth is, it will keep on happening.

I guess she learned not to say nasty things about NewYork policeman's mothers..

This is a travesty. When will people finally wake up? Not only are these officers getting away with this, but there are CEO's that steal millions if not billions from shareholders and then just ride off into the sunset.

NYPD cop accused of macing protesters no stranger to controversy | The Lookout - Yahoo! News can anyone else tell for sure what happened? the wifi im on is choppy but it looked like the protesters were sectioned off and the cop maced them in the cattle area.

There needs a sticky at the top of this forum called "All Things NYPD Related."

Yeah, because it's perfectly fine to spray people and cause them extreme pain for no reason other than their free speech annoyed you.

I wish I could say that this is unbelievable.... But we all know better.
This kind of senseless, over-reactionary brutality should infuriate every one.

This kind of treatment has always gone on, in smaller, less visible incidents every day. It is now becoming more and more widely "accepted" by many police departments around the country as an unofficial 'SOP,' and thus we will be seeing more of it.

I don't really know much about this whole Wall Street thing. I was forwarded the video below and really don't know what to make of it. Can anyone here provide some insight?

Is this the riots in Europe coming over here soon, or am I misunderstanding this video?

 

[Plinker]

That was... creepy? I don't really know what to think. I must say I was a little fazed when I heard the words 'Join the Arab Spring...Revolution... take it to Los Angeles...' blah blah blah. I was pissed when Dr. West basically gave MLK's blessing on this 'movement'. Whatever, MLK cared about equal rights for all people, not so called social justice.

On the other hand, it is hard to argue with the Wall Street oligarchy and such. So like you, I guess I just don't know what to think.

Not a biased report at all don't you think? You don't think all these people were there hoping to NOT prompt some kind of reaction? If not why all the cameras. It's typical leftist tactics and MSNBC bought in or is part of it. This is not to say there are not bad cops in the world that should be justly punished, but you can't tell squat from the videos. What was said, who did what, did somebody throw something etc etc. Frankly the reporter was obnoxious and leads me to doubt most of what he says.

By all accounts the protesters have been peacefully expressing their views. The same cannot be said for the NY enforcement community.
