The Occupy Wall Street movement [a.k.a "American Fall"]

[tykjen]

I personally don't give a fuck about police in these cases when I know they are bought and they are a shame to their uniform and badge. I just hope things turn more violent so I could kick some fucking cop's ass who's a total tool and paid slave. They disgust me. They are mercenaries in my eyes.

This man will never become president. Which is a shame.

Actually, universities are private property. Technically, they could have harmed them significantly more if they tried pushing or dragging them out of the way, and that has graver legal ramifications than pepper spraying someone. They broke the law, then egged on police officers trying to trap them, what did they think would happen after being asked repeatedly to leave and obstructing them?

Look at photos of this thing at UC Davis, it looks like we're in a fucking police state. The cops were in zero danger and the students posed no threat. Just because the police warned the students they would spray them doesn't justify it. I can warn you that I'll shoot you in the face with gun, you can disobey, and I'll shoot, but that does not make it okay. Though I agree that the police are not the only ones at fault here (the students did disobey to some degree, that's the point of resisting/protesting) you make it sound as if we should lay more blame on the students or both sides are equally wrong. What I find hilarious is that the cops were very comfortable stepping over the students to pepper spray them point blank in the face, but oh, they were "blocked and had no other option".

Look at as many photo's as you want, but video's don't lie. The protesters literally did threaten the police (they surrounded them and started chanting to let the arrested protesters go...). The police handled the situation properly. They gave them clear and specific warnings numerous times and the protesters disobeyed. Police don't joke around; when they warn you, listen. When they say they'll use force if you're uncooperative, they will. The police never used any sort of force until they felt as though it was necessary.

Alan Moore Responds to Frank Millers ‘Occupy’ Rant

Frank Miller and Alan Moore are two comics writers best known for dominating the late 80′s and effectively changing the landscape of comics with Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns and Moore’s Watchmen. Moore has drifted radically away from comics in recent years due to his distaste for the sales driven direction big publishing houses are going and a variety of personal reasons regarding the rights to a lot of his work.

Miller on the other hand has went into Hollywood and become a borderline parody of his won writing style, most recently typified by his anti-Occupy rant that saw criticism hurled at him by a sea of detractors for his heavy handed, thoughtless and extremely right wing slamming of the protests. Alan Moore has recently pitched in with his views on Miller’s rant, and he doesn’t swing and miss with this one

The police handled the situation properly.

I guess the police handled the situation properly in Middle East too.

I guess the police handled the situation properly in Middle East too.

That is quite literally, unequivocally, entirely irrelevant. Police in one situation =/= police in all situations. Obviously...

The ratio between where the cops use unnecessary force versa being in their right...has never been slimmer.
And now its illegal to videotape those service men over there.

RIFA has been a little strange, lately.

Probably the only Republican candidate that understands what this movement is actually about, not about handouts or wanting rich people to be poor.
