What retard policeman had the idea to pepperspray people not posing a threat? People like these should be fired and beaten to death in my opinion. User was warned for this post | ||

How is firing them and beating them to death any better than them pepper spraying people in the face? | ||

If you park in a handicap spot your car can get towed. You don't get shot. Use common sense. These people aren't getting shot. And for the guy who said that the "peeling them apart from each other" was the proper solution. You don't know what you are talking about. Officers can't just use physical force. They were following orders, and they were given no choice up to the point where they had to resort to pepper spray. That's how it works. | ||

Because when you sign up to be a police officer you take on certain responsibilities and duties. Among those are protecting and serving your community. These cops have shown a complete disregard for the safety and well being of the people they swore to protect. I honestly don't care about the legality of the protests, as long as they weren't violent there is NO reason to employ weapons against them. Not to mention the way the police used the spray was clearly in an attempt to inflict harm and pain, otherwise you wouldn't be spraying kids down the mouth and from 2 feet away. | ||

And the Occupy movement is fucking irrelevant if they cannot get the support of average voters to enact their desired policies. Protesting is not democracy. Voting is. | ||

Ok....I don't disagree with you, but you completely side-stepped my question. Not that I actually expected someone to try to answer it..It should be universally obvious that beating someone to death is a bit worse than spraying them with pepper spray. | ||

Rich, privileged college students harassing a blue collar police officer put in a stressful situation does not lend itself to the supposed 99% message the Occupy movement wants to make. The average American, for better or for worse, respect the police, and being anti-establishment douchebags is not going to win their support. And the Occupy movement is fucking irrelevant if they cannot get the support of average voters to enact their desired policies. Protesting is not democracy. Voting is. lol at how biased your post is. "rich privileged college students". how do you know anything about them? that's complete assumptions. "blue collar officer put in a stressful situation". you mean, doing their job??? ugh why am i even posting here. your post annoyed me though. | ||

The vast majority of the students in the video are white. White college students are predominantly in the upper half of America's income bracket. Moreover, from a global income perspective, Americans at nearly all income levels are in the top 5%. "blue collar officer put in a stressful situation". you mean, doing their job??? Yes, I mean doing their job. A lot of OWS supporters treat the police as if they are on the side of "THE MAN," which feeds into their narcissistic, anti-establishment world view. It certainly does not promote the 99% message OWS has tried but failed to express. | ||

Not all, I know some past and present Vietnamese and Hmong students that go there that have parents who immigrated after the Vietnam war. Their families are technically living in poverty due to their income. | ||

How does their status somehow invalidate their opinions about something they see as an outrage worth protesting? Are the white people who joined the civil rights movement and put police in "stressful" situations being ridiculous because it didn't really affect them? Jesus Christ, I didn't say any of that stuff. How about rereading my comment. | ||

A good portion of the asian students that attend universities in NYC depend highly on GPA based scholarships (because they can achieve those) and on federal/state loans. | ||

and top 5% income is irrelevant when you don't have a job! that's no income. people don't understand how bad its getting in America. job growth is not even keeping up with population growth anymore. and every month there is more jobless that don't count in statistics because they dint have work prior, but they just entered the workforce, and they don't count in umeployment statistics. US needs 150k new jobs a month just to keep up with population growth alone. and that means more and more unemployed who don't count every month who enter the workforce. | ||
