PORTLAND, OREGON -- November 17, 2011 -- A police officer deployed pepper spray at SW Yamhill, between the JP Morgan Chase bank and Pioneer Courthouse Square. The photo was taken from the southeast corner of the square, looking toward the intersection of 6th and Yamhill after a day of marching through downtown Portland, Ore., by Occupy Portland participants. People gathered on the east side of the Steel bridge earlier in the morning to demonstrate in support of the Occupy movement, on the day known as N17. Several people were arrested and the march continued over the lower span of the bridge into downtown, where a rally was planned. Later in the day people were arrested in a Wells Fargo branch downtown. Photo by Randy L. Rasmussen/The Oregonian

1. can you tell which officer is using the spray?

Is it B11?

I'd like to know which officer felt so immediately threatened by her that he (surrounded by fellow officers, and encased in an impermeable suit of armor) needed to spray a screaming woman.

2. HELP WANTED

Just as pedophiles are now welcome at the TSA, there are excellent job opportunities for sadists at your local police department!

YOU TOO can brutalize men, women and children during designated "protests" using a wide variety of weapons, including but not limited to sticks, tear gas, pepper spray, tasers, LRADS and a forthcoming array of other less-lethal devices.

You may also drag women by their hair; punch and/or kick people in the face, torso, genitals and other bodily regions; tackle and body slam people to the pavement; and if opportunity warrants, shoot these "protesters". Note that torture should be reserved primarily for people who claim they have something called "freedom of speech" or the "right to assemble". Failure to limit your assaults to said individuals may entail a two week paid vacation, or even transfer to another department.

Sincerely,

(insert city) P.D.

3. no more domestic police-all military police

4. how in the blue hell do you have the crass to do that to another

person, especially a little woman like her? HOW THE HELL DO YOU DO THAT?

5. Hatred of women. I would love to see stats of

the percentages and ages of arrestees. I have seen the most vile and sexually explicit actions by the police against women.

6. That vicious bastard should be arrested for assault and intent to do bodily harm. nt
