From what I saw he started it. If you even push a cop or sometimes just poke a finger you can be charged whit assault on an officer. the police hitting in his head was a little much but they are allowed to use what ever force necessary to keep them from braking a blockade.

What do people mean when they say that the OWS movement has no leaders?
I see one right here.
Who's going to stand with him?

MANA
In Polynesian culture, mana is a spiritual quality considered to have supernatural origin—a sacred impersonal force existing in the universe. Therefore to have mana is to have influence and authority, and efficacy—the power to perform in a given situation. This essential quality of mana is not limited to persons—peoples, governments, places and inanimate objects can possess mana. There are two ways to obtain mana: through birth and through warfare. People or objects that possess mana are accorded respect because their possession of mana gives them authority, power, and prestige. The word’s meaning is complex because mana is a basic foundation of the Polynesian worldview.
