OPD is absolutely out of control. at the end of the video, you can see that one of them pulled a tazer, but was prevented from using it by a citizen.

1. I'm surprised that he didn't use it on her

or arrest her. Amazing that they get so worked up over porta potties. They can't stand that the occupiers were having a peaceful meal and day.

2. Potty =riot

Not alot of information here to even understand what's going on.:wtf: So why were they taking them away and why was anyone even getting taken down.

3. The protestors should not have physically jumped on the police officers

no matter what the officers were doing.

I think that the Occupy movement is right about a lot of things. But . . .

That video looks really awful. I may be wrong, but it looked to me like the protestors lost their cool and did not remain non-violent.

Either you stay non-violent regardless of what the police are doing or you lose the respect of the public.

Regardless of what the police do, protestors have to stay non-violent.

I'm not sure I could do that myself, but if you can't stay non-violent, you should not be protesting. You should stay home.
