If he wasn't doing what he was doing the incident wouldn't have happened. No point crying after the event.
So when the first cop gets killed (and you know it's coming)

It just gets worse and worse - these armed, uniformed cowards who are defending the corporations think very little of beating up journalists, old women, war vets, students, protesters and the hundreds of other types of people who are lawfully demonstrating their right to protest.
The link included contains a video.
It contains bad language and can be considered quite shocking. (Unless of course you actively enjoy seeing unarmed people beaten up).
Protester and three-tour American veteran Kayvan Sabehgi was beaten by Oakland police during the Occupy protest's general strike on 2 November. Sabehgi, who was 'completely peaceful', according to witnesses, was left with a lacerated spleen
Kudos to the lady at the end and the camera guy.
'Are you going to shoot me whilst i'm filming you?'
'Did any of you want to deliberately hurt the war vet?'
You know... this was once a free nation... no one is deserving of getting beaten for standing still in a public place

I'm sorry but that "dude" got treated correctly by what is considered to be robust policing.
He was told to move several times and remained defiant. What did he expect was going to happen?
Did he think he was going to be handed a bunch of flowers, a handshake and a "it's ok friend, we're only playing" apology from the Police!
If he wasn't doing what he was doing the incident wouldn't have happened. No point crying after the event.
Why should he have to move??
Some people just LOVE their enslavement.

There has NEVER been a time in this Nation's history were a person could wilfully and openly defy the police. The People intsituted the government, and empowered it to hire police to enforce the laws made by representatives of The People. Effectively, We The People took appropriate action against one who chose to defy a direct police order. He got what he deserved.

So when the first cop gets killed (and you know it's coming) we can just say " If he wasn't doing what he was doing the incident wouldn't have happened. No point crying after the event."
Good. I'll remember to say that when it does happen.
This is a FREE nation. You sir are wrong.

He wasn't resisting arrest. He refused to follow a cop's orders. With that act, he broke the law.
He should be ashamed of himself, since he was in violation of his oath. If he was standing in solidarity with the OWS people, he was standing in solidarity with communists.
Arent you the guy who thinks voting actually makes a difference?
