'Occupy' types

Since you agree so much with the Occupy movement, why don't you get more involved and give the movement what it most lacks: concrete direction?

Brilliant

Lotus you are way too serious. Jk, very well stated and can't disagree with you.

Glad we are reaching a point of agreement from both sides. Here is a pretty ironic story related to OWS and one of it's issues. I think both "sides" will find it funny.

Occupy Wall Street kitchen slowdown targets squatters - NYPOST.com (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/zuccotti_hell_kitchen_i5biNyYYhpa8MSYIL9xSDL)



As the kitchen workers met with the “General Assembly’’ last night, about 300 demonstrators stormed from the park to Reade Street and Broadway, where they violently clashed with cops.

Officers made at least 10 arrests when rowdy demonstrators refused to get out of the street and stop blocking traffic. A dozen cops on scooters tried to force them back to the sidewalk.


Cops rock scooters in NYC?!!?!?

There is no evidence the cops injured that man. The stuff the cops used do not normally cause those types of injuries. Now the rocks thrown by the protestors could cause those injuries. No one knows at this point so thats poor attempt by the writer to pin that on the police.

my guess is you never had interactions with cops

my guess is you never had interactions with cops

I had sex with an off duty female officer back in the 90's if that counts.

And that's a bad thing?????

it's not a bad thing, but it does make his statement on what can and can't happen from cops in riot gear handling a crowd a little suspect. For the record, in the military, as a MP stationed in Germany, we practiced riot control a lot. Lots of bad things can happen to people who want to be agitators.

My main point was the article had pinned that on the cops when it was not known what happened to the guy. If you had to choose from the following which one is most likley to crack a skull.

Bean bag bullets
Pepper spray containers
large rocks flying through the air

I'd have to vote on large rocks flying though the air.

Well riot batons and shields can cause a bit of trauma, and flying rocks may but the damage would be different then a riot baton against a skull. I imagine the doctors would be able to distinguish by the nature of the fracture.
