NYPD Arrests 100+ At “Occupy Wall Street” Protests

On Sunday, hundreds of NYPD officers swarmed on Union Square, arresting protesters. Reports of police using tear gas have spread through Twitter. While the NYPD maintains that they neither own nor use tear gas, some have stepped forward to confirm that they were pepper-sprayed. In at least one video, a man is violently tackled for simply talking to an officer. posted

I know, right? Now tell your friends!
NYPD Arrests 100+ At "Occupy Wall Street" ...
Chris Menning

"#OCCUPYWALLSTREET - 9/24/11 - University Place and 12th Street. Watch the man in the red shirt get pushed by a cop, then raise his hands and back away. As he tries to speak peacefully to the officer, he is tackled violently to the ground and arrested."

  • This whole mess is perpetuated by keeping “the left” arguing with “the right” … Everyone's busy hating “the other party” and no one pays attention to the bigger problems.  Very few politicians in either party give a crap about the American people anymore. They are in love with power and under the thumbs of big corporations. They act in lobbyists best interest, not ours. Saying the left are whining instigators or leaping to the assumption that the right would have had a free pass to protest is pointless. Let's focus on getting angry at the abuse of power by the cops… or at the yuppies in suits watching from the balcony and laughing at the simple peasants down below?

  • Are they mad at the banks or the police? Confused. From the looks of the video, the protesters were egging on the police in hopes of getting some good footage… the guy in the red shirt even smiled and gave his name after he was taken down.

  • Again, if they'd been right-wing “tea partiers” not only would the police have left them alone, but they'd get massive amounts of positive media attention. The way that left-wing protesters are treated in this country is a crime.

  • FACT: If they had been right-wing “tea party protesters,” the police would have left them alone. Even if they had been armed, they'd be treated with kid gloves provided they acted conservative as opposed to liberal. There's a serious break between how our authority figures treat right wingers (better leave them alone or else we'll get in trouble) vs. left wingers (better bust their skulls as soon as possible). Every single municipality, as well as the Main Stream Media, is a huge part of the blatant right wing bias, which is shown with every protest and the coverage thereof.

  • Videos have been circulating showing women being pushed back, then maced [don't you dare say thugs, these women looked so Pollyann-ish], bloody arrests were made, one woman for asking the cops not to touch her — this is oppression. Make no mistake about it. Coming to a neighborhood near you .

  • This much force when unnecessary is wrong. I'm sure they were willing to get arrested in the first place. Police officers should be taught about the Stanford experiments and how to control their power boners.
