the use of weapons is not justified by police officers unless they are under threat of immediate attack - thats their own rules and thats the law - try to tell me with a straight face that officer who shot him was in imminent threat of attack by the guy filming.
Sgt. Shamar Thomas, an Iraq war vet who spent 14 months in Iraq, was captured on video chastising the New York Police Department for using excessive force against demonstrators. “This is not a warzone!” and “There is no honor in this!” You can see the shame in the eyes of the police as this hero speaks to them. They know what their bosses are telling them to do is wrong.
His message to the police that they too are citizens and part of the 99%. They don't have to fight the protesters they should be joining them against the forces in power that want to harm the middle class.
here the slime ball beck's take on this mans message of peace
Glenn beck sure does talk a mean game but I didnt see him step up to fight the wars his buddies in the white house started ten years ago. This man has the temerity to mock a man that gave over a year of his life serving in a war that should not have happened in the first place.
The man was fed up with what was happening, there are many documented cases of brutality against the movement Sure the police were not doing anything right then but what about the pepper spray incident or the woman that was forcibly dragged under a barrier across the pavement. how bout the man in Oakland that got shot int he face with a tear gas canister. While Glenn and his cronies chuckle away real people willing to stand up for what is good and right are being harmed. Chuckle away Glenn because nobody cares about your small minded stupidity anymore. Not even Fox news can stand you anymore and that's saying something.
If you haven't heard the hacker group anonymous and the Canadian site ad-blockers have teamed up to protest wallstreet. You very well might not have heard about this since the mainstream media have been blocking all coverage of this. Now reports from the Internets have ranged from 1,000 to 10,000 protesters at various times. That is a pretty big swath but considering even the lowest amount is 1k people. Its fairly difficult to mobilize even 1,000 people to do anything. The NYPD have been merciless against this group arresting individuals for exercising their right to protest and peaceably assemble. One rogue policeman tony baloney has pepper-sprayed non violent non confrontational protestors on two separate occasions. Helpless women who were being cordoned off in a baracade doing nothing more than shouting their protests were sprayed with pepper spray to the face.
This is not acceptable use of force NYPD
If this was a gathering of tea party being maced the media would be all over this. The NYPD would be vilified and things would be getting done. Instead this is a group standing up to corruption in America so the people in charge are making sure the media ignores it. This is the injustice that is america today
