It was inevitable that these protesters sitting around doing nothing and getting nothing done, in their own filth, would get fed up at this directionless movement and get violent in the end. It's what their handlers have been grooming them for all along.
Well, the occupy movement is generally "leftist" so most people on ATS support their silencing by any means possible. Violence, preferably.
Looked like scenes from a middle eastern uprising. How can people on ATS condone the police using tear gas? Just because you don't like what the movement stands for, these are still your fellow citizens, who are upset with whats happening to their world. The police massively over reacted and to those who support and condone their actions, shame on you.
"first they came for the communists....."
They have been doing random checkpoints here for a while. The first time I saw one I was shocked. It is such a violation of our rights as citizens, though no one else seemed concerned. People in general seemed to think that the stops were okay and that if the drivers were doing nothing wrong they didn't have anything to worry about. In fact a lot of people were all for it...catching random 'law breakers' and what ever else-probably looking for illegals as we are in California.
So much fearmongering
Wake me when the national guard have checkpoints
the reason for the unrest is becasue the babies are upset becasue the free money is limited now , they want more of the useless # to buy but can't afford it .
im sorry if living within your means means protesting to go back to living beyond your means.
do you not see these same coporations were the ones everyone was contempt with when economic times were good ?
now its bad they want there cheap money back , and now their crying ?
Everyone receives free K-12 in this country, period. Beyond that you must earn your way into college. In my opinion we need far less people in our colleges, when ‘higher education’ just becomes another stage of education for people it loses the ‘higher’ part of its title. When every moron who can garner a C average is allowed in, it weighs down the credibility of a degree. Then everyone will start moving towards having a Masters because most have Bachelors, and on and on. We have to draw the line somewhere.
The state should pay for higher education, I agree, but only for the ones colleges deem to be the most promising. This filters out the less desirable from bogging down the worth of degrees. The whole notion of equality of education is a sham and destructive for the high achievers. If you had 4.0 in school and get a Bachelors in College you have basically as much worth as the guy who was getting stoned, partying, and having a good time in high school and college but just barely earned a degree. It is an insult to treat people equally in my opinion when we are inherently unequal.
Evolution would say natural selection, let the intelligent move on and leave the weakest links to die. So do not bring evolution into the discussion here.
If you look closely there is two objects thrown, one from the cops but a second before that, it looks like another object thrown by someone outside the camera view to the right. Interesting.... However I have seen worse police brutality than that. My view they need to move these left wing protesters along by ANY means. it's getting stupid now, you might as well elect George Soros as your president if you support this movement....
Uh... The source is a YouTube video... That looked like absolute BS. Screaming medic? You guys are seriously going to get riled up over this? Perhaps I missed a legit link and am wrong... If I got 5 of my friends to carry me screaming medic and then put #OWS protesters beat me up would you believe that?
We are already divided.

We psychologists have been examining the origins of ideology ever since Hitler sent us Germany's best psychologists, and we long ago reported that strict parenting and a variety of personal insecurities work together to turn people against liberalism, diversity, and progress. But now that we can map the brains, genes, and unconscious attitudes of conservatives, we have refined our diagnosis: conservatism is a partially heritable personality trait that predisposes some people to be cognitively inflexible, fond of hierarchy, and inordinately afraid of uncertainty, change, and death

I agree. I also believe they are luring out all sort of government critics to "the revolution", and in the end they will hostilize the protester through some domestic terrorist attack. After that, the masses will hate all critics of the government. It will also lead to a lot more paranoia, and therefor more security. All protesters and government critics will then be quarantined (with the masses approval of course), and no such activities will ever be allowed again. The need for absolute security will then bring in all the horrors we have feared, from the RFID to TSA groping your children every time they go to school, or every time you go to the store. Unless of course, people realize it's;
US
vs
THEM
and make no mistake about that, this is it. This is check mate for the elite. If we play the game in their terms, it's all over. They understand violence, and are prepared for a fight. On the other side, psychopaths have a hard time getting their heads around love. Love is the only 'weapon' we have against them.

There is an element that wishes to supersede the Constitution of the United States, however it will be their own downfall.
That is the genius of it.
