Police are just people that want to go on missions, but are scared to enlist in the Military.
They want to play games, and haven't discovered XBOX yet, or that's not enough for them any more, because they are just THAT crazy.
Why is it ok for uneducated guys to walk around with guns, and total authority?
THIS is what we are working against...

You can't be serious? A large mob surrounds the police officers and demands the release of detainees and blocks their ability to leave? Seems like pepper spray was the humane way to go about it. That situation is very threatening to the officers, not a nonviolent protest.

Humane?
Instead of taking pictures of the people they want arrested, and letting everything happen peacefully, you think THAT was THE humane way to go about it

Your children, and/or their children at the age they are at now, won't look at the videos/news and see it that way.

Which is why I'm against censoring posts unless they are way over the line, I want to know what people really think.

You are a little delusional. When a handful of officers are surrounded by hundreds or thousands of students that are particpating in blocking their actions it could VERY quickly turn very, very violent and could easily be a potentially hazardous position for the officers. I think anyone with any common sense at all would see it that way. Regardless of age.

This is about change, not about what "Should" happen according to "today's" laws.
The police were threatening to DETAIN SOMEONE. The protesters did nothing MORE than threaten to DETAIN THEM, until THEIR detainment threat was DROPPED.
This could have been settled peacefully, just like any conflict BETWEEN 2 ORGANIZATIONS OF PEACE.
But INSTEAD, they pepper sprayed, arrested, and ALMOST did more.
YOU need to reevaluate, YOUR position.

You're not seeing anything...
It DID turn violent. THE VIOLENCE WAS THE OFFICERS DECISIONS AND ACTIONS

Cops beat the shit out of people on a daily basis, I doubt I'm going to lose sleep if one gets a scrape on his arm trying to intimidate a crowd..

But the people at the Alamo had no Mexican prisoners to give up.
The Cops could have easily given up their mission, let the detainees go, taken pictures, and left peacefully.
But instead they did what police DO in this day in age.
Which is react with FEAR and VIOLENCE.
And THAT is a HUGE problem in this country, let alone in this SITUATION

We will have to agree to disagree. Your warped perception clouds your judgement entirely too much to continue to discuss this matter further. The actions of these officers barely seems questionable, let alone outrageous.You're not seeing anything...

Because they are standing and fighting for something LIKE THE ALAMO STANDOFF.
I'm from Texas, and I know what the Alamo is. Texas is MY GIRL.
You're depicting BOTH situations backwards.

The problem isn't in the one Occupy situation.
I'm not sure what THAT lady did, but they do take it too far too fast all the time, based on skin color, hair length, shower time.
This is a personal story, read this... The police thought they were completely in the right breaking into my house, stealing from me, and arresting me. But they had NO WARRANT to do ANYTHING at my address, or to my name.
They treated me the same as her, for NO WARRANTED REASON, in MY HOUSE.

The police are entirely to arrogant, and do entirely way to heinous things, WAY too much.
They need to be reconstructed. Not destroyed, or eliminated.
Investigated, and completely redone.
Justice(The statue) is represented as BLIND, EQUAL, and TRANSPARENT.
Not an omnipresent, bully.

You were laying on a couch in your backyard watching TV, that alone is reason enough.

No it's not.
How is that ANY worse. I was man handled, and threatened with multiple guns in my face. Robbed, re-clothed in a jumpsuit, and put in a cage.
And you weren't maced or anything. You're acting like a pussy about a taze threat, then talking shit on Occupy.
What the fuck is that?
