The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarters Expenses?
Don't care who the protestors are--I take a back seat to no one here on conservative principles.
We have reached a new low in the relationship between peaceful protest and the state when police feel they can spray peaceful protestors like insects.
Again, I don't give a crap about some of their views, but this is just plain wrong.
The real question is whether the police were union members. If so, it is the union's fault.
1. What are they blocking?
2. How many times have they been told to move?
Nobody has more “rights” than others. If your “peaceful” protest is blocking something the public has a legitimate right to use - personally I'd turn loose the K-9s.

furor??
The one man I saw “bloodied” had literally attacked a cop and he was being held up as the face of OWS.
ridiculous.
OWS is nothing more than the brownshirts of the Obama regime. They have been shaking down contributions for Obama 2012 and their next target is Congress. They will spend millions to bus their activists to DC.
I like the insects part.
At the rate we’re going, tickling them with feathers will be considered “brutality”.
OWS never even had a permit. They were trespassers. They should have been shot on the second day.
Get over it! These kids do not run our lives. The dont even produce one single thing we buy or sell.

“Don’t know about all of you, but this is excessive and unnecessary police brutality.”
So when they do the same thing, next time blocking a highway, we look the other way? And you can bet your life they will escalate once they smell blood.
So what’s your solution? Perhaps they have the right to block certain right of ways, but not others?
The OWS crowd are just privileged pukes who think they can get their way in all things by staging temper tantrums in public. So long as they remain "non-violent" (so they think) they will always win every confrontation, and they will always be morally superior, and their movement toward a socialist paradise will be unstoppable.
Maybe they should think again.
First the videos never show what happened before, they also never have sound that is clear. So you don’t know if they were told to leave.
If you want to protest, you need to accept the consequences of over staying your welcome.
Oh, yea and that you qualify these protesters as peaceful is laughable.
From the video I saw of this on FNC this morning, the “pepper spray” didn’t seem to bother them much. The fleabaggers acted as though they were being sprayed with a water bottle. Just my observation. “Stinging” normally gets some type of a reaction.
“Videos shot at the scene show a policeman walking up to the protesters, pulling out his can of pepper spray to display to the crowd, and liberally sweeping the protesters with the stinging substance.”
yes-
i’m sure this is exactly the way it happened /s...nothing was thrown at the police...the demonstrators were not told by the police to move or were not on the wrong side of the police line...the cops just went up and sprayed them...
From what I read earlier they were NOT peaceful protesters but were attempting to block the police from transporting protestors who had been arrested. So they were interfering with arrests already made. Cops had some choices: let the arrested go, bring out the billy clubs with limited police presence, jump in and hope none of those in this set up were waiting to kill a cop, etc or take the least dangerous, least violent method open for resolving the problem.
“Don’t know about all of you, but this is excessive and unnecessary police brutality. “
The “protestors” were informed that if they did not move, they would be sprayed.
They chose to stay, purposefully and after being fully informed.
If you choose civil disobedience, be prepared for the consequences.
Oh dear. Someone got sprayed with a vegetable mist. What a calamity. What an, um, moral outrage.
The only thing "wrong" is that it took so long for the city to move these people out of the way. Why is their right to protest more important than the right of the people who need to access the same area, the businesses that are obstructed, and the right of anyone walking the street to be free from intimidation?
You're not espousing "conservative principles" when you defend the rights of a self-appointed nobility to force everyone else pay for the damage they're doing and to be afraid to walk the public streets for fear of these, "peaceful protesters".
