Veteran For Peace Member Shot In The Face With A Rubber Bullet
 

Thank God all those cops are there to keep everyone safe!

I'd love a spot of anarchy once in a while.

well when you run wild in the streets destroying property and disrupting biz... WTF do think is going to happen? bettcha is they were doing that shit in YOUR yard or YOUR house you would be damn glad the asshole got shot with a rubber bullet :2 cents:

you don't get a pass to disobey the law because you served.
The police tell you to leave, you leave.

Staying would be the disobedience part of civil disobedience. They expect to be arrested, there is no excuse for 500 riot police to show up tear gassing crowds filled with peaceful protesters.

Want to help the fallen? We'll drop a flash grenade by their head if you do..

If they were peaceful there would have been no gas.

"We were in a position where we had to deploy gas in order to stop the crowd and people from pelting us with bottles and rocks," he said.

Protesters had also thrown paint "and other agents" at officers, he added.
The crowd reached about 1,000 people at its peak, Jordan said, noting that police used bean bag rounds to disperse demonstrators. He said no rubber bullets were used -- a claim disputed by protesters.
Two officers were injured in the clashes, Jordan said. He said he did not know how many demonstrators may have been hurt.

In an interview with KTVU-TV Channel 2, Officer David Carman said he had been hit by paintballs and more.

"The crowd started throwing bottles, paints, beer, eggs at myself and the other officers," he said.

I'm sure that ultra conservative rag got it wrong.

They brought hundreds of out of town police to a peaceful protest. Of course they are going to blame the protesters, when have they not? There are full videos leading up to the tear gassing, they gave an order to disperse and started firing off rounds when they did not listen. Nothing was seen being thrown.

And I'm positive that there were some unruly protesters throughout the day. The stupid ass anarchist groups have been coming in and looking for an excuse to fuck things up. In this video someone flips over a dumpster during the chaos and the cameraman runs down the street to push / stop them.

Here's a video showing the threat of force and the follow through, can't really see anything being thrown at cops.

relying on the mainstream media for information about this is like replying on pravda or the people's daily about unrest in russia and china.

Pretty shit soldier to be surrounded by utter twats and be the only one hit.

Real smart -- start shooting ...

at 3:10 to 3:14 you see a cop with paint or some other substance all over his arm and shoulder.

So, what are you whining about? He came, he saw, he got what he wanted.

Oakland has proven that they are a rowdy city. I think there is plenty excuse to have a large riot force if they are planning on dispersing a large group of people.

Whether or not the dispersing is warranted, I haven't the slightest idea.

Amazing how people think it's cool to throw anything and everything at a police line during protests, yet when the police do actually fire back, it's a disgrace ???

Please...

You don't shoot people in the head with anything unless you have a very good reason.

What are they throwing at the police? Also, come the fuck on. Rubber bullets and other projectiles kill people if they hit them wrong.

Anyhow, it hasn't mattered so far. They already fucked with them once and 1000 came back to the encampment and took a second round of b/s. Every time they attempt this it brings more out. Escalating the situation like this could end very badly, time will tell.

interesting to see peoples take on what is going on.
the same people will no doubt clap the police on the back and say good job..well done as they themselves are herded onto a bus to be arrested.

And like the people before them, will cry when they get hit with rubber bullets...

dun dun dunnnn

interesting to see people identify with the unemployed whiners camped out in their own filth who throw things at police when ordered to disperse.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

sorry to inform you but i know of a few multi millionaires...actual millionaires who have been to the rallies now...and even got arrested for just being there.
they werent carrying a sign, they didnt do anything wrong.
but because they showed up....they got arrested, they were kinda too big to be beat down easily, but they did get pushed and shoved into a van and taken away.

another one got let go because they ran out of space in the jails


these people are fighting for good things...except for the free handouts some of them want.

ideally some tea party members would identify with them and help them get a message across....with this kind of movement, if the tea party could get in there and help direct it...they would have a real chance at the polls.

so instead of condemning something that obviously isnt just going to go away because you wish it too...try to embrace it and direct it to something positive.

Non lethal force is non lethal.

out of town police lend credence to that.. plus it's come up before

link?
never amongst the intelligent. its never more than a lie told by a protester, parroted by the bottom rungers on a chat board.

actually that is not true.
they always put undercover police in the crowd to assess what is going on.
since most cops are useless roid loving twats it makes sense that some of them also act like morons and stir up the bees nest.

cute story.

..................

go down to the movement in your area....dont mix with the rabble as you will no doubt call them

observe and report back here please.

i would like to get your keen sense of what is right and wrong in the world to give a report on what you see with your eyes.

http://youtu.be/St1-WTc1kow

if you still insist on this board persona, you can see the rock in the hand of the admitted police officer.

i think it's time to let the real parrots here show their feathers.

Wish the cops here would to that...

already did.
the signs in philly say "free tuition" and "tax the rich" with people banging pots and drums.
they're not bright enough to understand that if we tax the rich and make tuition free, nothing that needs to be fixed, will have.


no need to worry about me mixing with urine soaked rabble.

shoot a woman in the head iwth a concussive gernade, continue shooting her with paintballs filled with pepper spray, and wait for people to come back to grab the unconscious woman in order to throw a flashbang into that crowd

if that were your girlfriend, would you cheer big guy?

if history can teach us anything...they will indeed cheer on the police
even report their neighbours and family members

with the history of the stated country of the poster, i am just kinda shocked man

My girlfriend wouldn't be anywhere near there in the first place...

aww that's nice

so she doesn't go downtown, eat at restaurants, shopping, anything?

what's stopping one of these protests ripping through the street she's walking home on, and the police decide to carpet bomb the area with tear gas and bean bags and watercannons, and now flashbangs, and sucks for her, she just got caught up in it all

na. that would never happen. and it definitely hasn't happened before. not in just one city, but several cities. one instance resulting in a 48 hour incarceration with no representation or any ability to go to the bathroom or eat for that matter

that would never ever never happen.

no.

Not nice, just fact.


Anyway, if you think that's what's happening in all these vids then that's up to you. I rarely have any sympathy for the people caught up in it.

I guess my patience ran out when my brother who is a cop got seriously injured at a "peaceful protest" here a while back. He got bricks, bottles and whatever else thrown at him for doing his job, while all he could do was stand there.



So i don't give a shit anymore...

Oh, you think he got hit by a sniper or something?

Fucking brilliant :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

stupidest thing i read today, sorry.

Occupy Glasgow


A woman has been raped in a tent at Glasgow's George Square which is the site of an anti-capitalist protest camp.

The 28-year-old is understood to have been attacked in the tent in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Police believe the victim and suspects had all been staying in the camp site in George Square.

Police said they are looking for two suspects they believe are known to the victim.

So THAT'S the real reason they wanna pitch up tents. Go on a rape spree !! :1orglaugh

hahaha this is so fucking funny
medic medic

if they were not there, nothing would have happened. plain and simple.

considering you only read GFY...that is pretty bad for me..lol

;)

1 Rubber Bullet = 100 more supporters

History lessons are not required to be a police officer, nor a politician. Which usually hurts the causes of the 99%, but not this time.

There are absolutely some anti capitalist and give me handouts idiots at these things. There are also many more that are fighting for legitimate issues. Even "tax the rich" could be a condensed version of "Stop letting multi billion dollar corporations that were just bailed out after wrecking the economy get by with paying $0 in taxes" but that doesn't fit so well on a sign. Free tuition, many countries find this to be the way to go but it's not representative of the entire movement.
