I disagree ninja, it is a crime, and it ends their claim of non-violence. You and others may think it's OK, knock yourselves out.

resolving these situations with the minimum level of force necessary.
Let's cut to the chase, this OWS movement has failed and will never amount to anything. No matter how much you try get attention it's not going to make a difference. The media is no longer covering OWS or the lame attempts to blame police for miscarriages or supposed brutality.......no one's buying it expect those hardcore supporters.
Unnecessary according to whom?
If you break the law, peaceful or not, you can expect the police to take measures to uphold the law.
She should not have put herself in that position, it's 100% her fault.
They were breaking the law, and would not listen when they were told to leave. Using pepper spray in that instance seems perfectly appropriate. Don't want to get sprayed? Here's a thought, obey the lawful order of the officer.
lol. prosecution for what?
The ONLY contention so far has been that they used EXCESSIVE FORCE.
Here's the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of violence:

Can you point out which of these definitions disobeying a police officer falls under?

and btw do you think a police officer or officers when seeing the woman was very visibly 8 months pregnant start beating on her belly with their batons?
You're awfully furious about people you claim don't mean anything. You want them to be beaten, sprayed, run over by bulldozers, etc, and all because they are doing stuff you claim doesn't matter.
If they matter so little, why are you giving them any of your precious time?

2.) Injury by distortion, infringement, or profanation? What were they injuring?
3.) So you are claiming vehement or fervent people are being violent? Are you kidding me? So basically every the cops would be justified in pepper spraying every protest in the history of mankind. Nice.
Can you provide ANY evidence that ANY investors have been impacted by OWS' efforts to date?They will ignore until their investments start suffering. Bad PR is just that, kind of reminds me a bit of Ann Rand.....
The MPAA rating system?! LOL, wow! You certainly have low expectations and standards for the type of "self regulation" we need to change the entire corrupt system. Please tell me you were joking...You mean like the Motion Picture Association and their ratings? Yeah, like they would ever self-regulate to prevent kids from seeing violence so the state would not do it for them.....
interesting...
Do you think they wouldn't?
Personally I think anything could happen and I tend to keep a open mind about such things. The fact that you have made up your mind that the police are 100% innocent says a lot about you.
Not furious, just find it highly amusing that supposed highly intelligent people believe they can break the law and then cry foul when Police do their jobs.
And you're still dodging the perfectly valid question i've asked. It's not really that big of a question either.
On the contrary, it is perfectly on topic when someone suggests that merely breaking the law is inherently violence that justifies a violent response. That's wrong, factually, legally, and morally.Nice irrelevant dodge to the topic in discussion.
You're lying again. It's what you do best.You're the one who said there's a conspiracy going on.
I'm not dodging anything, I don't even know anything about the incident in question. By your own statements you believe that acting in a fervent manner justifies chemical assault by the police. I hope you realize how insane that is.
I said earlier that I don't think that police officers are monsters that will beat the belly of an obvious pregnant woman. There is always the possibility i'm wrong, I just don't think I am. I find it far more likely that the claims made by the woman are false and to be used as PR to incite a response from gullible fools.
You forgot to also list the part about law breaking and after repeated warnings. Nice tap shoes though.
Just like I find it so amusing that you ignore the fact that those who were pepper sprayed in Seattle were blocking a public road violating not only the law but interfering with the rights of other Americans trying to utilize the same road to go wherever they needed to go.
