The police should have a sound proof bus with no windows at the OWS locations.
That way they could take the OWS loons inside the bus and administered some attitude adjustment without public witnesses.
Sorry dude. This isn't Saudi Arabia. Or even India..for that matter.
Considering some of the stupid crap the OWS freaks believe, it's not inconceivable.There is no right to shit in public and destroy public property.
Yes, because absolutely; that's what rights were violated.
Numb nuts.
Odd...they leave out what the protesters did to get them arrested.Suppressing Protest: Human Rights Violations in the U.S. Response to Occupy Wall Street | International Human Rights Clinic at Harvard Law School
On May 30, during a student march, a member of the Research Team witnessed a particularly violent arrest. A protester was observed lying on the ground, with a number of officers standing near. The protester stated that his shoulder had just been dislocated; the officers stated that they had called an ambulance, and were not going to handcuff the protester because of his injury. However, moments later, a second group of officers rushed in and aggressively handcuffed the protester. He screamed out in pain repeatedly and told the officers about his injury, asking them to be gentle. The officers responded by stating the he was a liar, and they repeatedly intentionally pushed and pulled his injured shoulder. When EMTs did subsequently arrive, they inspected his shoulder, immediately removed the handcuffs, and put him in an ambulance for treatment. The individuals lawyer later stated that the protester in fact had suffered a broken clavicle, an extremely painful and serious injury.

New York police violated rights of Occupy protesters: report
The NYPD has a history of abusive and questionable practices, the Occupy Movement is but the most recent example:POLICE ESCALATED TENSIONS
It cited numerous incidents in which it said police officers employed excessive force without sufficient provocation.
The report also said journalists covering the movement were subjected to a pattern of harassment, including the use of force, restrictions on access and arrests. In particular, it said credentialed journalists were barred from covering the overnight raid that cleared the main Occupy encampment at Manhattan's Zuccotti Park in November.
Constant police surveillance of Occupy events in some cases appears to violate legal restrictions on police monitoring of protests, known as the "Handschu Guidelines" after the landmark case that led to their creation, the report said.
The intimidation and use of force served to escalate tensions while having a chilling effect on the right to free speech and assembly, the authors concluded.
well good luck with that, you know they are laughing at you
Liberals are funny, first they worship the police, firemen..then they sue them
The police are a top down organization. The cop on the beat..follows orders..and those orders come from a chain of command. Police aren't democratic.
So when the person at the top makes a bad call..it's not the fault of each and every cop. It's the fault of the person making the bad call.

Bout damn time.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York police officers employed excessive force, unjustified arrests and pervasive surveillance in violation of the rights of Occupy Wall Street protesters, a report from a group of human rights lawyers said on Wednesday.
The report documents 130 incidents of alleged abuse by law enforcement authorities and calls for the creation of an independent inspector general to monitor the New York Police Department.
"Many of the reported allegations individually indicate clear violations of the government's obligation to uphold assembly and expression rights," said the report by the Global Justice Clinic at New York University's School of Law and the Walter Leitner International Human Rights Clinic at Fordham Law School.
"When considered together, a complex mapping of protest suppression emerges."
