One would expect some sort of sympathetic message in their support against Police brutality [whether at the hands of the NYPD or Moscow Police etc] of any Protesters.
Now why is that?

Most sensible people recognize police brutality whether it's in the USA, the UK, Russia or anywhere else. We don't immediately separate the two.
And I agree that there seems to be a lot of agendas going on here. Most notably those who have been against protesters in the USA from the beginning still twisting this around and trying to pretend that their precious government couldn't possibly do anything remotely naughty!

I've been to several peaceful protests in the past. They were clean, respectful, and we got our message out.
Occupy, is not protest. Occupy, is...... um...... well, it's an occupy. It's a form of protest that doesn't so much want to convey a message but demand change on their terms, by their rules, by their definitions.
Apples and oranges, people.

You know I've read all the claims of Hypocrisy in many replies here at ATS and elsewhere but...
What I haven't seen is the overwhelming "Out-Cry" over police brutality of Muscovites [And Others in Russia] by their police like there have been about US Police [After Months] of OWS Protests.
Remind me again, How many months were Muscovites allowed to protest and or occupy anything before their police moved in and forced the demonstrators to disperse?
Pepper Spray and rubber bullets vs Batons and jack boots.
Apples and Oranges here.
Hypocrisy and Irony Indeed!

No. The police brutality began in New York almost immediately. In fact, anywhere these inconvenient forms of protest popped up they were met with almost instant disproportionate force, when someone got seriously hurt we heard apologies and we saw cities get lax on police response to the point of protesters being turned away and told to deal with criminal behavior on their own and when the tactics of labeling them dirty or criminal laden failed we saw the "evictions" take place which consisted of 4am police raids and more excessive force by the police.

No offense but that has to be one of the most contradicting and convoluted attempt at clarification of ones point. So, we had Police brutality then Police apologies then the Protesters had to take matters into their own hands due to
Now check this out.
"Lack of Police activity"
What the hell?
Also, The criminal activity that caused the need for the protesters to fend for themselves due to lax Police assistance would not have been needed had the Protesters not been there. [Not saying they shouldn't have protested] Also many of the Perps were supposedly fellow protesters. [Unless of course they were also FBI or other such Alphabet agency stooges] which may be the prevailing opinion here at ATS.
Just keeping it real.
