Like I said, I must have missed the episode wherein OWS was screaming at anyone other than the corporations and 1%ers themselves.I almost didn't respond because I'm finding it hard to imagine that your intelligence level is so low that you would ask something so obvious. It really is hard to tell who is trolling and who isn't because there's a thin line between saying random stupid comments to get a rise out of people, and legitimately believing those stupid comments.
Of course OWS is anti government. We have countless crooks in office who spend most of their time catering to lobbyists instead of their constituents. Bush.. Obama... they're the same.
I see alot of right wing anti government talk simply over political party affiliation. Obama has done so many things that Bush would have done, and you get to see the idiocy of people. They praise bush for the same actions they bash obama about. They make it so easy to click the ignore button.
How would I respond? That depends... how many lawful orders and warnings did she disobey or ignore before she was sprayed?
My own response would depend entirely on the answer to that question.
Irrelevant.
She was sitting on the sidewalk and was not the one "warned".
You just do not spray indiscriminately. They need to be more universal and almost surgical in their "application of justice". If there ARE bad apples, it helps both the people AND the protest to have them removed. You do not chop off someone's hand because of a wart on their thumb.
You didn't mention that to the teabaggers at the healthcare townhalls did you?
When OWS resorted to violence and showing no regard for their fellow man trying to get to work they began to lose support. Now many that supported them are distancing themselves from the movement.

Retired Philadelphia Police Captain Ray Lewis was arrested in New York City during the Occupy Wall Street protest on Thursday.
According to the New York Observer, Lewis joined the Occupy movement on Tuesday.
Philadelphia Police Department has confirmed Lewis' arrest, Fox 29 News reported.
Let's be honest. The cops aren't innocent saints. Do you believe they are?
I can understand people being annoyed by the protesters though... lol.
The same can be said about people that didn't previously support it, but now do. A weak "point".
So you believe that the cops are at fault for enforcing the law. Did the cops prevent people from getting to their jobs too?
If there was so much new support don't you think that would be reflected on internet sites or media outlets?
Was that first sentence a question or you telling me what I think? Crowd vs crowd of opposing ideologies ALWAYS leads to violence. It's just common sense. No side is @ fault.
It is, but only on small sites, etc. Don't worry, I'm not an anti-American pinko commie. I'm not here to convert you. I probably have more reservations about OWS than sentiments I share with them. I'm tust trying to have a conversation. I just find it interesting that a lot of left leaning sites were tooting the OWS horn, but now are a bit quiet.
LMAO!!! Ok, I didn't know how to take your first reply. I agree it's odd how the media section that was so supportive has backed away so quickly from the movement.
If they have the sense to protest against EVERY member of Congress regardless of political affiliation, and their message is also unified and sensible (no Marxist or other anti-American bullshit), then it might actually be something I could get behind.Coming up next OccupyCongress. Though these union lead protests will be concentrating on the Republicans only.

Then again, sadly, I highly doubt they'll be intelligent enough to do so. We shall see...

Step one: Get on a f'n bus and head to DC...
It's where they should have been in the first place. What did the dumbasses think squatting in a park would accomplish with regards to distribution of wealth?
sweet picture phokus, thanks for the update. if OWS is sick of the police, they need to go after the people sicking the police on them. pro-tip, it's not wall street.
