Early Wednesday morning Breitbart News posted a video of an Occupy protester in LA smashing a drum into the head of a female LAPD officer. At the time the video had fewer than 25 views. Within hours the video began to spread around the web on blogs and social media sites. Just over 24 hours later it has been viewed more than 200,000 times.
Yesterday afternoon, KTLA reported that a suspect in the attack had been detained and was being questioned. This morning, the LAPD announced the arrest of Brian Mendoza age 23. Sources say Mendoza is "6 feet tall and weighs 280 pounds." By contrast, the officer he attacked is said to be 5'1" and just over 100 pounds.

The media was totally irresponsible for not showing a freeze frame of the suspect and only showed the video at it’s normal frame rate. I froze the video at home and could clearly see the thugs face. Media ‘covering’ for their OWS brothers? Even FOX NEWS? Idiots!

Is Brian Mendoza one of them white Hispanics? I understand they are really violent! (sarc)
To: Nachum
To add insult to injury it should be noted that Brian Mendoza age 23, has a Beatles haircut, which is even more out of fashion than a mullet.

The Los Angeles Police Commission on Tuesday abolished a requirement that officers stand at least 5 feet tall to join the LAPD.

Actually the Beatles cut is quite popular now.
Heaven help us if the mullet comes back.

Another OWSie drummer, Brandon Baxter, was one of the 5 OWSies arrested in Cleveland for attempting to blow up the bridge.
The answer is obvious - we need to outlaw drums.

The news report of the arrest noted that he had hit her hard enough to dent her helmet.

Brian Mendoza is a coward and a punk. He singled out the smallest cop and then he sucker punched her from behind with his drum. It would have been great if the cop turned around and smacked him in the head with her baton before he hit her.

I predict that nothing substantial will happen to this turd, even though he committed a felony. the Left thinks that they have Carte Blanche to do whatever they want with their Obamessiah and his arch Henchman Holder looking the other way. And they have a point.

That’s true. So maybe we could just call for tougher drum regulations, stricter mental health requirements, and longer waiting periods.
