Occupy WallStreet

I disagree...the police dont protect the govt...they protect each other. The brutality you just saw is the result of our government giving too much power to the police and taking too many of our rights away.

If they can body scan us at airports then we have no rights to even our own bodies. Why should the police respect us when the govt doesn't?

Police from EVERY country, is protecting, well, I dunno right words in English, but protects state institutions, parliament, whatever u call it.

I mean, you said it yourself, yet, you disagree...
There is no such thing as too much power to police. I agree this was brutality, but, it was done, to demotivate others from protesting, who would eventually give up. It's making few sacrifices, for bigger cause. Which I don't approve.

What we don't see or hear is the verbal or physical provoking of the police officers, all we see is the end result, a police officer doing his/her job.

Come on people, open your fucking eyes, it's the media that spits bullshit 24/7 regardless of what station you watch/listen to.

Look what happens when you take away the power of the police...(London Riots) oh boy sounds fun to me.

Police (Generally) do a good job, case closed.

It's not "too much power" that is the problem, it's the lack of consequences that officers have because the only thing the governmen care about these days is the economic side of the population, not their rights

I didn't expect that to happen in the U.S but yea corruption is everywhere....

I'm keeping an eye and see how far will this go...

Clearly you havent' watched the video or any of the stream of whats going on. This isn't like the London riots. No one here is violent, breaking the law, or doing anything arrest worthy. This is a peaceful protest. Open your fucking eyes and stop being a mindless sheep.

Clearly you don't know how to read. I never said this is like the London Riots all I said is look what happens when you don't give police officers any power i.e GUNS. I was SIMPLY responding to some of the prior comments about how police have too much power.

I watched the MSNBC video many times, and ALL I SEE is the reaction of the police officer NOTHING PRIOR to the actual incident so for all I can tell, the people could have provoked the entire thing.

USA is probably the most "gun oriented authority" society so don't say police officers don't have guns

AND! In this case, they shouldn't even be allowed to use anything since what they are doing is totally legal and peaceful

Once again...read... I said I was referring to the London Riots. Police in London do not carry guns, which is WHY the London Riots happened. If the police stopped having power like the power to carry guns(In the United States) then we'd be in utter chaos.

[Kedzi]

It's two totally different situations we shouldn't even be talking about the London riots, riots and peaceful protest are in the same league
