It is becoming clear when I watched Larry O'Donnell on MSNBC last night that more civil unrest is coming. O'Donnell showed the video of Rodney King and made a correlation between what happened in the Wall Street protest and what happened to King. He was painting a picture that cops can be the enemy and often are. Using the King beatings was just a ploy to inflame.
Most of these protesters don't even know why they are protesting. In fact Moore couldn't even answer the question on CNN about why capitalism worked so well for him if capitalism doesn't work.
The fact is those protesters were breaking the law. They were trying to hold up traffic and cause suffering to the people needing to use the road and walkways.
The MSM is looking for news and if it takes inflammatory videos and commentary they will do it. Watch how the MSM is playing up the pepper spraying of those lawless protesters.
I have to say that the cop did seem to over react with the pepper spray. But I didn't see what lead up to that point. The cops have their videos as well. Let's wait until we see the whole picture before we convict the police.
Things are getting ugly. Speaking of ugly has anyone else noticed how ugly liberal protesters are? Ick! Michael Moore is the face of liberalism.
UPDATE: Liberals have been calling for violence on the police officer that pepper sprayed the protesters. I had to erase a post for just that reason. They have given out his personal information in order to send people to his door. This is the wrong way to go about it. No one cares if you have your protests in the legal way. The police aren't our enemies and violence isn't the answer. Keep it legal.
We will fight back. Day of Rage is now the Year of Rage
ReplyDeleteCornell West, Philosopher and Activist, to Speak at Occupy Wall Street Tonight
ReplyDeleteOccupy Wall Street is pleased to announce that noted philosopher and social justice advocate Cornell West, author of the book “Race Matters” among many others, will be speaking at tonight’s General Assembly, scheduled for 7 p.m. at Liberty Square at the intersection of Broadway and Liberty Street. He will be speaking about the circumstances that ultimately led thousands activists to occupy Wall Street, as well as the importance of people power in addressing them.
West has just wrapped up a nation-wide speaking tour talking about generational poverty. We at Occupy Wall Street are grateful to have him here addressing our group.
His name is Anthony Bologna. We demand that he is charged for his crimes. We demand that he receives jail time.
We demand that Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly resigns. Not only can he not control his most senior officers, he is involved in actively sheltering them from receiving any punishment.
We demand that Mayor Michael Bloomberg address our General Assembly and apologize for the police brutality and the cover-up that followed.
This was an attempt to make us weak, this was an attempt to destroy or derail our message, our conversation. It has not succeeded. We have grown, we will grow. Today we received unconfirmed reports that over one hundred blue collar police refused to come into work in solidarity with our movement. These numbers will grow. We are the 99 percent. You will not silence us.
Please call:
Mayor Bloomberg: +1 (212) 639-9675 or +1 (212) 788-2958
Deputy Commissioner of Public Information: +1 (646) 610-6700
NYPD Switchboard: +1 (646) 610-5000
First precinct: +1 (212) 334-0611
Make our voice heard. Make sure that the world knows that everyone deserves equal protection, service, and punishment.
That jackass is a punk little bitch spraying those women with pepper spray. Can someone say NYPD is going to be blue when the lawyers get through with him?
ReplyDeleteUsed to be a time when conservatives hated government bullying and overreach just as much as we did, but now they are the party of the totalitarian.
I'm glad someone finally addressed how ugly liberal protesters tend to be. Each occupy event is such a high concentration of ugly that its density draws in more ugly.
