Based on your posts you would be stupid enough to get pepper sprayed or struck by a baton.
I bet you even have a sheep's skin on the wall that proclaims your intelligence to boot.
Thanks for clearing up that you're not trolling and that you're just f'ing stupid.
its just an isolated incident. Time to move on. (just like you OWS supports ignore all bad things done be OWS). If you want to be consistent, then you ignore cops bad actions too.
Very good post.All things in moderation. I think tariffs are a good idea because trade shouldn't be one sided, if it is the appropriate term is looting. Since trade is inevitable, we have to be aggressive about positioning ourselves strongly in that area. We have certainly failed that.
Of all the advantages of countries that have UHC, I would bet that this is the single most important part of them being able to beat us out on costs. Americans are in terrible shape and the collective health has to suffer. Which industry has the desire or clout to lobby head to head with the food (not good food either) and healthcare industry? Any governmental structure that attempts to steer the country towards being healthy will be submarined.
No problem. I don't have a problem with holding people accountable for their debts, bankruptcy and the seven years of pain excluded. It is just that a society built around creating debt and profiting off of debt needs to push people towards debt. This runs counter to a strong middle class as debt reduces their purchasing power. Hold people accountable but don't make it so "easy" to get into debt. Government backing of student loans encourages the banks to encourage institutions to encourage kids to go to college, but not for the education. They just want them to sign up for tens of thousands in loans to be paid off over twenty to thirty years. Debt slavery for all.
Of course that leads into the consumption society which is bad for the middle class but who wants to go there?
The university said Sunday that it had been flooded with comments, including some from alumni who pledged to stop donating.
The president of the University of California system, Mark G. Yudof, did much the same on Sunday, saying in a statement that he was appalled by the images and that he would convene the system’s 10 chancellors to discuss “how to ensure proportional law enforcement response to nonviolent protest.”
“The time has come to take strong action to recommit to the ideal of peaceful protest,” he said.
LOL Fits my own opinion that these people are most suited to be clubbed or pepper sprayed. If you don't mind risking the lice, fleas and TB, I mean.Campus Police Chief Put on Leave in Pepper Spray Incident

Looks like some positives for the OWS movement.
Goodner took a letter inside to the bank; When he refused to leave, police arrested him on trespass charges. He was also charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Macamus, private industry doesn't own or operate the police. That's a government thing. If you're mad at the governments treatment of its citizens then we should rally against the government. Blaming private industries for the failures of Government is just more of a poor carpenter blaming his tools.
Private industry owns many (perhaps most) politicians. Some of those politicians have a degree of influence over high ranking law enforcement officials of the areas they were elected in.
This is part of the reason most private money except for maybe some contributions by actual individual people should be taken out of elections.

Apparently the 15 minutes are over for OWS. A majority of people show either ambivalence or lack of interest in OWS and simply don't have an opinion on it at all. About 60% don't know what the movement even stands for, and the disapproval rate for the protest is rising rapidly, from 20% last month to 31% now.
OWS had a chance to make some hay, they had some time in the spotlight, but I don't think there was a coherent message for people to latch onto.

Your post makes no sense. But it's ok because your glaring stupidity has earned you a slot on my ignore list. Have a nice day you anti american POS.
Isolated incidents seem to be happening alot at #occupy protests.
I love how you agree that the guy being beaten like that is indeed wrong, but you do it without putting it in your post.
With #occupy, there's no way to account for all sorts of fringe groups who have joined the ranks of the protests. I've said before it's a cluster fuck.
Now, with the police...it's different. They're all trained and should know the limits of what they can and can't do. A real police officer would not start beating a person like that. Arrest him without beating him... not a tough concept. Police like this who go out and lose their shit shouldn't be there. Obviously the guy should look into other fields of employment if he has such anger management issues.
Yep.So? Start lobbing the heads of politicians off and they'll stop taking money. Most people seem to value their life much more than the almighty dollar. You're never going to stop people from being douche bags and trying to "buy" their way into power, but you can certainly discourage people from taking such bribes and payments.
The problem I see many of you guys having is holding private industry to the same standards you expect from Government, yet we don't get from either. It's unrealistic, we should hold our Government to a much much higher standard than those of private industries and if them taking money from said private industries is causing issues for the rest of us, it's not a private industry problem, it's a Governmental one.

About 60% don't know what the movement even stands for,
Mainstream media has done their job and confused the populous as to the actual message of the protestors. It just shows how effective this type of propaganda is.
