1. OMG!

When did it become acceptable for an 'peace officer' to punch someone in the face?!?

[jwirr]

2. How can the ordinary people of NYC and Oakland trust these cowards

to protect them when they need it. They are loving this brutality.

[reggie the dog]

3. video proof that they defied a court order

judges usually dont like when cops defy court orders

i am not shocked though, cops usually punch pre teens and teens in the face

[MsPithy]

4. "THIS IS A COURT ORDER!"

Where the fuck is the Justice Department?

[ooglymoogly]

7. This justice dpt is a diabolic joke. It is only there to protect the 1% and their

property and profits and their right to steal everything we have got at gunpoint. Now do you get what fascism is all about?

[BigD_95]

38. very true statement

justice dpt only works for the rich

[unionworks]

24. raiding pot farms n/t

[Divine Discontent]

5. oh. come. on. people.

you actually want that neanderthal lookin' beast to READ something?

it's sooooooo much easier to assault and beat down a woman!

---sick bastards--- I think they should have started pointing and chanting neanderthal or cave man when he did that illegal move!



Get it now, or one of a million other designs! http://www.zazzle.com/republicans_2012_keeping_millions_out_of_work_bumper_sticker-128659602907896843?rf=238107662556833486

[ooglymoogly]

6. Is it fascism yet???....Now we see what is behind the daily pablum

of corporate MSM propaganda, lies and noise.

Brute force of the 1% to force the 99% into subservience.

They have thus nullified the constitution.

[Che Billy]

8. These cops are terrorists

These cops remind me of the Pinkertons who were hired by big business to terrorize workers who wanted to unionize in the late 19th century. Whatever respect I once held for police officers has evaporated to near zero because of how they're brutalizing unarmed protestors who only want at least some level of economic justice for all. Don't these cops have a conscience? Don't they have a sense of justice? Hell, don't they have functional brains?

[xchrom]

9. recommend

[DFW]

10. I remember the first Rambo film

Someday, life is going to imitate art, the wrong vet will get pushed too far, and there will be a
lot of cops on involuntary disability leave all of a sudden. It will not have a happy ending.

I never was a big fan of calling cops "pigs," but I never was a big fan of cops acting like pigs, either.

[CJCRANE]

11. That was intense! They should just let the people assemble

and demonstrate in the park, that would be the easy, and constitutional, option.

[IdolHans]

12. Truly Terrible --- No Good is Served!

All of this doesn't make the NYPD look good at all. There was no reason to scream obscenities at those kids nor was it neccessary to hit the woman in the face holding a court order!

[ZombieHorde]

13. Welcome to DU. 99.99% of the police make the rest look bad. nt

[ZombieHorde]

14. The police are drunk on power and violence.

Police officer should not be a job.

[FedUp_Queer]

50. It's clear now that the cops are, in fact, the enemy

[KurtNYC]

15. the guy with the hat over his eyes

gets in the cops faces about 3 times and waves a guitar over his head like his going to assault them with it. In the middle of this video when she is bleeding he gets a "Legalize Marijuana" sign into the shot with her.

He is provoking the cops but who do they punch? And at 48 sec the potty mouth cop who soon punches the woman is laughing while watching the hat guy do his thing.

[unionworks]

22. i noticed that too

The protesters told him not to jump the fence, also.

[dotymed]

46. He is probably a cop. An agent provocateur trying to "lead"

the protestors into committing violence. Then they have a reason to brutalize.

[valerief]

16. Nothing more than bank goons. That's all they are. nt

[Liberty Belle]

17. Shameful. I hope those cops will be held accountable for their actions.

[FluxRostrum]

18. follow up video

this video includes a post punch interview with this woman and a little game of capture the flag ;~)

[genna]

39. It makes me feel better knowing what happened to her. Thank you.

[wiggle-room]

19. The fauxrage here is ridiculous. This taped confrontation wasn't about any pressing issue.

This was over who could be where for the next five minutes.

The vid doesn't show anyone striking that woman, tho it appears she was clearly struck in some fashion. She may have been hit by one of the others being pushed back behind the fence. We don't know, we don't see it.

This seems to be more about people with some fetish to confront authority than it does the screwing we all are receiving at the hands of the corporate state.

Noise like this video and the knee-jerk responses it provokes drown out the real message.

[The Traveler]

31. "Fetish to confront authority"

Interesting choice of words. Hmmmm

[noiretextatique]

42. what would you like on your pizza?

:popcorn:

[unionworks]

20. that's not a police force

It's a street gang. I can only hope the massive lawsuits drain them dry.

[Deep13]

21. Lawless brownshirt cops. nt

[slay]

23. The authority figures in this country are a fucking JOKE!

i hope they know this. they are full of shit and WE ALL KNOW IT NOW!!! :mad:

[bertman]

25. What I saw in this video was an idiot with a flag trying to start shit and create

an uproar. The woman with the papers didn't have a chance of getting the police to read the order with that fucking baboon jumping up and down on the barricades.

Sorry, but I cannot feel any sympathy for them under those circumstances.

Why didn't she go somewhere else where there was no jackass contender jumping around and show the papers to someone?

Shit like this causes us Occupiers to LOSE more support than to gain it.

[unionworks]

26. so she deserved

To get her nose broken for what someone else did? You're right, it IS understandable. Because it's probablywhat the cop does to his wife and kids when he gets home after a tough day of sucker punching 100 lb. women.

[Hanks]

36. You'll

always get apologists for the pigs like Bertman until they get nailed for something. And then they'll whine and bitch about excessive power with the best of them.

[bertman]

52. Once you learn to read and comprehend you might understand what I said.

[micraphone]

27. Loads of these people were shouting and pointing at a COURT ORDER

Punching a woman is beyond the pail.

Do you think the cops did not know about the Court Order???? That's their job FCSs.

Beyond disgusting denial of rights.

[noiretextatique]

43. this video gained my support

because i don't support police brutality against non-violent protestors.

[AlbertCat]

47. an idiot with a flag trying to start shit

The idiot with a flag is trying to get into the park where he has a right to freely go. It doesn't matter if he is an idiot or what he wears or even if he thinks pot should be legal. If he is an American citizen, then he has a right to enter the park.... the "papers" say so.

The question is why don't the Police let him into the park, and if they are not... then they should tell him exactly why. What danger is he or the woman or anyone there to the public?

If he is actually trying the start shit, then why would the police allow him to do so? Don't they get trained how to dismantle such situations?

It boils down, in this instance, to police and their stupid reaction to the situation. Just stand there and push back is all they got?

[zentrum]

28. Cowards and bullies hiding

...in uniforms.

[Lars77]

29. To be fair though, those people seem slightly hysterical.

First of all, the guy claims to be assaulted when he jumps over the fence and gets his foot caught on the railing.
The woman, something obviously happened cause she was pushed back but its kind of hard to make out what actually happed.

Still, they are in their right to protest and those cops are powertripping like hell.

[genna]

40. Maybe I have to do a slow motion, but I saw him being pushed from the fence.

[noiretextatique]

44. they are not "hysterical"...they are angry, and so am i

i applaud their courage

[amyrose2712]

49. I thought he tripped at first but I'm pretty sure he was pushed..

and since when is being loud a reason to get pushed and assaulted, although as much as I tried I still didn't see what happened to the women.

[The Wielding Truth]

30. Bloomberg is done. His goons have crossed the line!

[vaberella]

51. These guys were created and trained by Guilliani...Bloomberg's been loaning them.

[Hanks]

32. Well, in defense of the police

She did have a very irritating and shrill voice.. {G}

Seriously though, you don't see this kind of thing happening in other countries where the protestors actually fight back to defend themselves. Just imagine if the NY protestors began to defend themselves more rigorously. You'd see those not so brave men in blue running like the fucking cowards they really are.

[FailureToCommunicate]

41. I completely disagree that the cops would run scared. FIghts are EXACTLY

what allow them to arrest and haul people away (Not that they haven't been doing that even unprovoked!)

I DO agree, however, on the shrillness of the protester. But that is presumably is what crowd control training prepares cops for.

[tclambert]

33. To Gandhi or not to Gandhi, that is the question.

Our American fondness for violence leads me to believe the crowds will begin to fight back at some point. We're not gonna just take it. Passive resistance is hard to do.

The police will fight for awhile. Then a trickle of them will start joining the protesters. More will just throw down their batons and walk away.

[Flatulo]

34. Can someone tell me where exactly in the video she gets punched?

I didn't see any cop punch her. I see a bunch of scuffling, then she falls back.

[Vinca]

35. The video doesn't show the punch, but apparently there are witnesses.

The lawyers should start filing lawsuits seeking millions against the city. The only thing Bloomberg understands is dollar signs.

[genna]

37. Despicable. Absolutely disgusting.

If a lawful order from the court is not enforced by the police or the political arm of the government, then we are back in the 1960s. Either our rights and civil liberties matter or we no longer live in a democracy by, of, and for the people.

[dotymed]

45. The one cop was really enjoying "his job."

The cop in the middle (during the first part) smiled bigger each time he was able to inflict injury on the people. That is indicative of so many cops. They became cops (not peace officers) to intimidate and bully people. Their enjoyment of assaulting innocent protestors should be used to fire them. We do not need a bunch of bully's hiding behind their badges (not the law). They know that no matter what they do to these citizens, their "fellow officers" will lie to protect them. This is so reminiscent of school yard bully's and the sheer joy they expressed whenever they were able to harm or intimidate the less aggressive kids. This guy would be right at home in prison, where his type are always shown for the cowards they are.

[gtar100]

48. The police are like a bunch of kids with their fingers in their ears.

They have their orders. They don't think for themselves.

54. When are any of these fucking cops going to be arrested?
