You can't be claiming that it's ok for police to beat people up because of their political views, right?
You know as well as anyone here I did not say nor mean that. you also know that the police were attacked that evening. So don't act so shocked, we all knew it was coming. I almost hope the local OWS try some shit during our ceremony tomorrow. We'll be less than a block away from them and there should be several hundred real veterans there...
So, because the police were attacked that evening, it was justified for them to beat and arrest a man who had protested earlier in the day, hours before, but at the time was just trying to get home?
You believe that all you want. Please tell us where he was trying to get home from..... Maybe from a building that had just been used as a launch pad for rocks? I have no sympathy here.
He was trying to get home from the restaurant he and his friends had gone out to dinner at, after leaving the protest hours before. Perhaps you'd look less like a fool if you read the story, instead of making assumptions.
