The TP doesn't break laws, so no police are going to do anything to them.
You must be retarded, too.
Or just dishonest.

When the police ask us to move at the Tea Party Rallys that I've been to, we move.

[emphasis mine] Then, that explains his clear retardation.
The OWS protesters refused to disperse even though they were breaking the law and had been told what the consequences of doing so would involve. You want a special dispensation for them because you believe in their cause. That's not the way it works. Just because they believe strongly in something doesn't give them the right to deprive others of THEIR rights.

It would still be wise to keep your own video equipment handy. And yes,the Patriot Act does likely have something to do with our Police gaining too much power & control. I'm pretty sure there is a Patriot Act provision that covers these types of issues. It's probably not too difficult to be branded a 'Terrorist' these days. The Patriot Act has certainly made it easier anyway.

Years ago I was attending an "after hours" party in Boston which was primarily taking place on a rooftop deck four floors up. Some of the party goers decided that throwing fire crackers at people walking by on the sidewalk down below would be fun. They even threw some at the police who were called when people complained. Let me tell you what you don't want to do...throw M-80s at a bunch of Boston's finest. They arrested the entire party and anyone who resisted arrest got dragged down eight flights of stairs. I got out of there because I was sitting on the first floor stairs chatting up a girl and very respectfully told the police remaining at the door as about a dozen others charged up the stairs that we'd had nothing to do with what was happening upstairs and that I would greatly appreciate it if they let myself and the girl go home. They did. The cops weren't the assholes that night...my friends at the party were. But someone like Paul wouldn't see things that way. In his world the cops are jack booted thugs. If he'd been sitting where I was he probably would have called them "Nazis" and he probably would have gone to jail along with everyone else.

Would you want your Police shooting or pepper spraying Gandhi,Martin Luther King,or the Dahli Lama for merely inconveniencing some people? I'm pretty sure Gandhi probably inconvenienced some Indians along the way during his peaceful protests. I don't approve of Police meeting those peaceful protests with beliggerant aggression. And i feel the same way about peaceful protesters in this country right now. Our Police need to be trained to be decent and humane. Their current jack-boot routine really is losing the People. Something needs to change.

So, you also choose to look at pictures to reading.
Quelle surprise.
I guess no laws are broken unless someone is violent.
By your logic, a landlord using the police to evict someone and the tenant refusing to leave can't be a crime and should be ignored.

Pretty awful. I just don't get how so many can defend this. I don't even care whether you support these protesters or not. This is jack-booted thuggery at its worst. Of course these officers should be punished.

Well that's just sad. Those men are great men of peace. I'm sorry you feel that way.

Ensuring inherent rights of non-protesters has nothing to do with thuggery. It has everything to do with police work and keeping the peace.
But, you are a whackjob truther, so who knows what goes on inside your cranium.

I just love this:
The Teas Partiers are these law abiding citizens who are the epitome of what every good american should be.
The OWS are unemployed bums who mooch off the state....RATFLMAO
Couldn't make this shit up if you tried....

They did the opposite of keeping the peace. They used an aggressive & violent tactic when it was totally unnecessary. The Protesters were peaceful. The Police were not.

It was necessary. They were told several times to go. They did not. The cops made them go and they protected the rights of the non-protesters.

I'm a little curious about something, my friend.
How can this letter be dated Nov 24, 2011 when today is only Nov 20th??
