Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, October 6, 2011, 6:01 AM
Grab a cup of coffee. Sit back. Enjoy.
Thugs meet baton in New York City.
From Occupy Wall Street website:
From the video: October 5th, around 8:45 PM. Cops beating up and pepper spraying people at the occupy wall street protest. THIS IS WHAT A POLICE STATE LOOKS LIKE.
From the comments:
What? Police State? They had the cops pushed up against the barricades. You f*cking beatnik liberals cry about everything, even when it’s your own f*cking fault..

Time to bring in the “mounted” police. The horses would round up these amoral individuals.

I wish they had used guns to take a few hundred out.
Sorry. But I’m fed up.
This is all organized by Soros and Obama.
They are asking for the violence.
I feel sorry for the cops.
Watch Bloomturd to tell the cops to back off.

Anyone know what happened just before they started filming cops using batons? There has to be more to this story. Was the crowd rushing the police? Trying to break into buildings?

How is this a “police state”? As usual these crazed leftists accuse others of their own true aim. I’m praying for the police in NYC; these poor guys (and girls) don’t deserve this crap.

A protest is starting in Portland Oregon today. It is interesting, astroturfed and I think in the end these idiots hurt Obama.
I hope this is the first of many many fails for the Alinskyites.

However nice it is to see the spoiled Red Diaper Doper babbies get the spanking their daddies never gave them, this is playing right into the hands of the community organizers. They need desparately to provoke an incident of ” police brutality ” so they have moral cover justifying the demonic mob to enter the RIOT phase. They can’t just start smashing windows and burning cars…They need a trigger point they can BLAME .

Sir,
I read your web-site daily and am not one to comment, but this infuriated me. I am a retired police officer and must comment on this fiasco. The supervisors were the first to deploy pain compliance measures to control these alleged protestors. THE FRIGGIN’ SUPERVISORS had to deploy night sticks first, before the rank and file officers. Has it gotten this bad?! Am I in another world?! This is insane, officers wait for supervisors before doing their job? I would hang my head in shame, liability be damned. If you want me, come and get me. We didn’t need a supervisor to show us how to control a crowd. I hope Bloomberg is proud of what he has done to a once proud police department. I will pray that no officers were or are injured in this mockery of my country and our way of life.

If these protesters were pro-lifers trespassing on a Planned Parenthood and the police gave them this treatment I doubt you would be cheering this.
In fact, considering that this blog celebrated the murder of George Tiller I bet you’d supporting killing the cops for defending what you term an “abortion mill.”

Lol, the MSM calls this violent rabble “peace loving patriots” and little old ladies waving minature American flags as a Tea Party Rally “violent racist extremists”.
Sad.

Looks like the protesters were trying to create a “Kodak moment” by the umber of cameras that were ready with the action started.
I’m sure the lame stream media with publish reports worthy of the union label.
btw… like someone else mentioned… have you noticed how these protests become violent when the unions get involved?
Obie is looking to create real class warfare… possibly invoke martial law…

A now former acquaintance has been taken in by this movement. He forwarded Move On dot org’s push for the protesters. I took exception, called it class warfare and suggested how dangerous and violent a path this was for the country to go down.
He fired back “yes this is class warfare” and more chillingly, asked me how much money I made. As if he’s taking a financial census to determine whose heads shall be placed on pikes.
He’s reveling in his role of useful idiot. Quite disturbing.
martha commented:
NYPD are the best of the best concerning crowd control. Remember when the Republicans had their convention in NY in 2008. They rounded up all the protesters arrested and put them in big tents like the animals they are.
these morons are pushing the cops to hit them so they can scream police brutatlity. It’s exactly the same play as was used in the ’60′s. Think Chicago 1968. These little wannabes want it to be the 60′s that they never lived through.
Jeff commented:
Poor cops. Trying to do their duty and now coming out as the bad guys.
archtop commented:
Errr…ah…I believe these people voted for our current president? Um…maybe they should take their complaints to Washington D.C. (Of course, many of the bankers they’re protesting against also voted for Obama – “instant karma gonna get you…”).

The cops need to get tougher. Horses, rubber bullets, water canons whatever it takes. Maybe call in the national guard. Enough is enough.

Brian H commented:
I have been a cop for twenty years and been on the line a dozens of protests. Most protesters are nice enough, but clueless people. The confrontational ones are more clueless, but often fail to see the irony that they can sceam angery obcenities about “police states”at a line of a hundred bored cops and nobody is going to whip their ass without a credible threat to life. I have had a thousand idiots take my picture and write my name down, and hundreds of clowns (opps, “observers”) in green hats tell me they were there to prevent police violence. What I have never scene is a cop use force on a protestor. It sometimes happens, but it is rare. What I saw in that video was hundreds of people crowding in on a small group of cops. Unless you have been alone in a hostile crowd, most people don’t understand how scary that many screaming people pushing in on you can be. Also, NYPD command level personnel wear white shirts, not line officers, so that was a “boss.” (some non-NYPD NYC agencies may be differant) Not much is clear from the video, but a friend was in a similar situation when a small group of cops escorted a EMT into a crowd to help a sick woman. The herd started spreading roumors that they were arresting a leader and started pushing the cops back into the medical scene and throwing stuff. The cops just had to suck it up and do their job, which was to get hit with debrise so the lady/EMT wouldn’t.
donh commented:
Do something they are not expecting. Instead of the same old use of force to clear an area…Cage them IN . Surround their mob with 6ft high steel gates . Mubarak would still be in control of Egypt if he had done that instead of sending bruisers in to beat the mob.
Dick commented:
Hose them down with 5.56fmj. I’m sick of these mooches.
Mad Hatter commented:
I hope some of you aren’t surprised by this, these useful idiots want to provoke the police in order to come off as the victims and try to turn public opinion against the police.
After they provoke the police into using force, these Marxists, with their buddies in the Alinsky media, will only take what the police did and show it to the American people.
This is an old tactic in propaganda 101.

Mo commented:
Jim-Can you compare/contrast with video a grassroots teaparty protest with these organized anarchic anti-capitalist protests. The MSM reported the teapartiers as anti-government extemists but never properly showed that they were peaceful, ethnically diverse, everyday american taxpayers who cleaned up after themselves. They are now reporting on the Wall Street protests as though these were just a bunch of young people who are fed up with wall street being attacked by the meany policeman. Many of those protestors are unemployed by choice or chose to incur huge student loan debt and now want someone else to pick up the bill. These are the true dangerous extremists in our society but the media will never portray them as such!!!

Wake up, Bozos. The top one-hundredth of one percent in this country make an average of $27 million per household. The average income for the bottom 90 percent of us is $31,244. Why does this not annoy you? Is it because you are too busy working SO MUCH HARDER than the morons that want some economic equality and fairness? Do you think the top 1% works hard? Or even the top 20%– or wait, even the top 50%. How hard do you think they’re working? What’s wrong with $20/ hour? It’s only 41k a year before taxes. What’s wrong with universal health coverage? Where is your compassion? You are so gleeful to see someone beaten with a baton, that, I think, is what is “dark” and “gross.”
billyjoejimbob commented:
Weapons are hot – target rich environment. ROE – no bag limit. This is pure and simple anarchy. NYPD is doing a great job of tolerance under these conditions. We cannot allow mob rule to run amok. These assclowns would never try this in Texas – too many ‘good ole boys’ with a bloody arsenal in the gun rack in the pick-up truck. I am all in favor of protest – but these have a ulterior motive. The country is on the verge of falling apart.
We need to protect our nation – from all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC.

Finncrisp commented:
Catherine, Catherine, you really need to take it real slow and think what you are saying. Those who have studied , worked hard , and made somthing of themselves are now to be punished by the likes of you for their hard work in the absense of yours? Yes, fast food is hard work, but it is not supposed to be lifetime employment. That is why the reward is relatively low. You move on, do better, and things get better in time. This is how immigrants came here legally years ago, with nothing, and became rich. Your need determination, initiative, and yes a little luck sometimes.
Standing around and demanding gifts for nothing, mass debt forgivness, and punishment of the successful is “acting stupidly”.

Suggest you ask a Russian or any other person who lived under government controlled economies how that worked out. And you are totally wrong on how hard those on the top incomes work. I guarantee that most of them put in more hours and efforts than you deadbeats do.

Mo commented:
#54 the top 50% are working harder than the lower 50 % because they are the only ones paying taxes!!! My husband and I have to work 4 months of the year just to pay fed/state taxes. and then we get to “keep” the money from the other 8 months to pay our mortgage, food, clothing, college, cars, gas, insurance, electricity, water, cable etc. Excuse me for not feeling sympathetic to the “students” and union employees who have the time to sit around protesting or the welfare deadbeats who watch tv all day and are complain about the rich not paying their fare share!!! If I paid my “fair share”, I would get a significant refund every year!!!!

Catherine post #54,
“The top one-hundredth of one percent in this country make an average of $27 million per household. The average income for the bottom 90 percent of us is $31,244.”
Where do you get those numbers from? Site your sources.
In your last post you put a number of Wall St. profits of 720%. Is that a crime? You do know we live in a free market, free country, right?
Did those profits raise your taxes?
Did those profits lower your hourly wages?
Did those profits spend $767 Billion tax payers money on shovel ready jobs, and then turn around and say, that the shovel ready jobs weren’t so shovel ready? If you don’t know who did that, would you like to take a wild guess who did?
Craig commented:
Yep, just what I thought. You are a bunch of blood thrursty warmongers. You enjoy people getting beaten up, just like you enjoy millions of innocent citizens being killed by your illegal wars. And what do you care, it is the soldiers who fights and dies, not you.
Cheering the Police brutality is really smart. Who do you think you are anyway? Do you think you are part of the elites? Just wait till they start attacking you, because they will eventually… you are already on their list of terrorists.
You envy the guts these protesters have, because you have absolutely none. Why do you let the protesting in the the lefties hands? Why aren’t you out there protesting the corruption of Wall Street? Oh I know. You are chicken, you are yellow.
There is a new protest in front of Texas Federal Reserve banks organized by CONSERVATIVES… will you be there? I don’t think so. You prefer spitting your hatred behind your computer in the comfort of your houses.

Brian H commented:
Catherine,
The problem with a $20/hr minimum wage is that a lot of people are gainfully employed doing work that is not worth $20/hr. I was well out of college and married with a kid before I had a job that paid that much. To require a wage that only a skilled worker earns means that all unskilled workers would be unemployable. No more entry jobs. No more after school jobs. No more easy gigs for retirees and young folks. No more honest work for those that made poor choices when they were young. No work for ex-cons re-entering civil society. No part time jobs for young mothers.
That is the point of a $20 minimum wage. It will create a vast underclass of non-workers who would be utterly dependant on government handouts, who would vote as a block to support anyone who would offer them better handouts.
While I was earning a lot less than $20/hr, I still did just about anything a rich person does. They might have a big yacht, I could take a cruise. They watched the same movies/TV I did. They had a car that could get to the speed limit twice as fast as mine, but we probably were stuck in the same traffic. They might have a mountain villa, but I really liked my tent. I had clothes of the rack that looked a lot like the stuff they paid 10 times a much for. ($1k shoes and a $10k suit … OK Catherine, that is clownish, but I bet there are a lot of happy retail workers out there selling those). I worked, ate, loved, vacationed, and slept about as much as a rich person, but I just spent a lot less money doing it.
But ask yourself, Catherine, in our oppressive society, where the rich can have anything they want and the poor get screwed … what does a rich person’s X-box look like?
FYI, Some of us have another word for that top tier of income earners: “employers”

1. These “illegal wars” are Obamas now, and he added one of his own.
2. Many of us “bloodthirsty warmongers” are veterans unlike all these turds on Wall street.
3. If they start attacking us, we have our own guns, unlike the idiot liberals who gave all yours up or never even held a gun in their life.
4. These protesters have no guts, they are a bunch of spoiled little p*ssys.
5. We are waiting, when you keep pissing on us and telling us it’s raining, eventually we will stand up and kick your @ss!
6. We will use all legal and polite means available and when that fails….. Watch out brother!
Craig commented:
Extracts:
“The Occupy Wall Street crowd has become predictably focused on issues like taxing the middle class and moderately “rich,” ending capitalism and even re-electing Obama to ‘fight’ the very elites who pushed him into power. Focus should instead be on the real source of power for the out-of-control bankster class- the private, unaccountable Federal Reserve bank that creates money out of thin air, issues secret loans to insiders and foreign governments and systematically institutes debt on the American people through their undue powers”

That’s not only greedy, but incredibly immoral and rather like, don’t you think, the same “theft” you perceive from the institutions that bought and paid for Obama. If you want to have a lot of money, here’s a novel idea, work hard and earn it. Standing around stinking up Wall Street won’t get you anything . . . except lots of well-deserved ridicule and derision.
Fionnagh commented:
$54 I will never, ever earn that kind of money. And no, it doesn’t bother me in the least. I’ve made much of the potential given to me. If somebody else has more potential, and therefore makes more money than me, then that’s the way it is. Why in God’s good name do you think you have a right to the money someone else has earned with his or her time, passion and talent? Because I do happen to make more than $20 an hour, would you therefore say that I am not entitled to any sum over your arbitrary figure of $20?
If there are many more like you out there, the rest of us are in really big trouble.

“Protesting” is for losers. Do that and you’re asking to get beaten by police. Nothing good ever came out of objecting to any ruler, it’s the same as saying you’re spoiled and want someone to correct your behaviour. If you want to take the lead, do so and stand for it!

Catherine commented:
It is not greedy or “punishing the rich” to ask for $20/ hour min. wage. What is greedy is a CEO making 185x that of the average worker. Mad Hatter, I have been citing my sources and this one is from the Economic Policy Institute. The widening of that gap is alarming and will only continue to drift farther and farther apart.
Brian H #72. Why do you think that a living minimum wage would wipe out entry level and part time jobs? I don’t see your logic. The money is there. Companies can afford it. They just have to re-direct it away from their own greedy mouths, see above.
Since when did a sense of fairness become viewed as a sense of entitlement? You’re being exploited endlessly and daily by banks and corporations. Get off your X-Box.

Catherine, you old Joy Behar wannabe, you just want to legalize it as you steal it from someone else. You beetch about the stealing because it is just not fair. FAIR??
Looks like Hitler’s gang to me.
Obama(Hitler) called these creeps out there. This is Obama’s street. Obama decided to occupy Wall Street. Ain’t that cute. He wants us to listen to him for an hour as his thugs destroy.

Contrast this with the behavior of those nasty, violent, terrorist tea partiers.

I miss Rudy.

The problem with $20 minimum wage is that all the other wages would go up by as much. Happens every time that minimum wage is raised, one reason why the unions like increases to it. THat’s right, the wages ALL UP THE LINE go up. What you get then is inflation and the new minimum wage STILL doesn’t make for a living wage.

Craig- are you calling NAMES? I thought smart people didn’t do that.
Ok…so it’s OUR country. Who asked your opinion, anyway? Why don’t you buy a bus ticket and come down here to camp with the rest of those people who think they know everything like Catherine. I’m sure you’ll fit right in.
Just a note, Cath…if my boss had to pay me $20.00 an hour, I don’t think I would have a job very long unless she increased prices. How much are YOU willing to pay so the downtrodden all make $20.00 per hour?
Someone wrote protestors are like hungry people burning down a grocery store.

Also, Mad Hatter, I forgot to address your questions. In response to my citing an increase of 720% of Wall Street profits between 2007-2009 you asked:
“Did those profits raise your taxes?”
No, nor did they do anything for the common good as a raise in taxes might do.
“Did those profits lower your hourly wages?”
After the economy tanked because of the wall street psychopaths, my hours were cut back at work for a year and a half.
“Did those profits spend $767 Billion tax payers money on shovel ready jobs, and then turn around and say, that the shovel ready jobs weren’t so shovel ready? If you don’t know who did that, would you like to take a wild guess who did?”
No, those private profits coincided with mass lay-offs in the private sector.

Shorter Catherine: “I want my free stuff!”
Shorter Craig: “I’m the only one in the parade who isn’t out of step!”
Good grief. No wonder we’re in trouble.

Catherine,
How is your local coffee or flower shop going to pay its half dozen workers $20/hr?
I worked at a grocery store when I was a kid. They didn’t give an employee discount because the profit margine was on 2%. So how are they going to pay all employees triple the current minimum wage?
Huge, profitable companies like Microsoft ($70B revenue 2011) can probably do it. Bill Gates ($56B net worth (he owns 8% of microsoft stock)), could probably pay the increase out of pocket, mainly because Microsoft being a huge, profitable company that relies of a skilled high tech workforce of 90,000, probably doesn’t pay many of its workers less than $20/hr today anyway.
But its the small employers who don’t pay anybody (owners included) that would take it straight in the neck under your plans.
But again, the point is not to make a world where everyone has a $20/hr job. Its to put as many people on the dole as possible.

Boy when you want to hear a coward bray you can read Craiig’s comments and realize why Canada is in the shape its in. Mexico has more balls than Canada will ever have. But then again Mexico doesn’t encourage queers.

If you want to see a police state go to Canada. Now that’s a police state compete with the thought control police.

Yep, just what I thought. You are a bunch of blood thrursty warmongers. You enjoy people getting beaten up, just like you enjoy millions of innocent citizens being killed by your illegal wars. And what do you care, it is the soldiers who fights and dies, not you.
Cheering the Police brutality is really smart. Who do you think you are anyway? Do you think you are part of the elites? Just wait till they start attacking you, because they will eventually… you are already on their list of terrorists.
You envy the guts these protesters have, because you have absolutely none. Why do you let the protesting in the the lefties hands? Why aren’t you out there protesting the corruption of Wall Street? Oh I know. You are chicken, you are yellow.
There is a new protest in front of Texas Federal Reserve banks organized by CONSERVATIVES… will you be there? I don’t think so. You prefer spitting your hatred behind your computer in the comfort of your houses.

“Brian H #72. Why do you think that a living minimum wage would wipe out entry level and part time jobs? I don’t see your logic. The money is there. Companies can afford it. They just have to re-direct it away from their own greedy mouths, see above. ”
Because, Catherine my dear, the majority of jobs aren’t created by Wall Street ……..they are created by small businesses run by a start-up company who average about $80,000 a year for young firms, who can’t afford $20 min wage any more than you could pay someone $20 to mow your lawn, wash your car…….you get the picture.

Craig, what are you doing posting on issues about another country where you don’t vote, don’t pay taxes, have no idea of what is going on except what you read in the papers, and have absolutely nothing to contribute except criticism?

I’m afraid there’s no hope of getting Craig to pay attention to little things like facts, reason, logic, the sun rising in the east, etc. He has to be one of the most confused souls not currently locked away in a straightjacket.
On the other hand, I hear that the Happy Hill Home for the Very, Very Confused offers computer access in the solarium, so…………….

I believe Reagan had it right when he stated as president that for the richest to pay less than a bus driver was crazy. Ronnie sent 1600 hundred people to jail when the S&Ls failed.
The Wall St. crooks who stole trillions from Americans and other nations as well sit and laugh at the protestors. Not to support is proof that most of the people that oppose are Faux Noise watchers and listeners. Keep uninformed with your misinformatrion leaders.
moonbat5666 commented:
To Mad Hatter 53. I didn’t know you were such a fan of using dogs like the ones used in the prisons in Iraq. You’re nothing more than a sick bully-boy coward who has mental issues. Do you sleep with a loaded gun to protect yourself from American patriots?
moonbat666 commented:
Teabaggers are just a remake of the Moral Majority with added racism. Look at their pathetic signs at the rallies. Google……Tea Party Racism…..watch the fools…..join the hatred.
avafromtexas commented:
So, moonbat, is your name moonbat666 or moonbat5666?
Messes up my numerology thing. 666 = 9 = aloof, withdrawn, distracted, possessive, moody, timid and uncertain. You are often unsatisfied with achieved results and you might get disappointed with life’s realities. You also tend to be careless with your finances.
5666 = 5 = It is difficult for you to commit to one relationship and you have difficulties to finish projects. You lack discipline and order, you are impatient, restless, easily distracted and you can be very impulsive.
Just askin’ Hard to pick. :/
Patrick commented:
At least a full 50% of these kids have no idea what they are agitating for or against, they have been hoodwinked by shameless Marxists. These kids are being used as cannon fodder by a desperate administration in an absolutely futile attempt to whip up a popular uprising for the sole purpose of maintaining power! The way these kids have been hoodwinked and used is disgraceful.

These protesters attacked the police.
HERE you can see what happened a few seconds before the police responded.

Hi Patrick, talk about %……….did you know that 95% of Texans believe that Muslims believe in a different god than Christians or Jews. They all worship the god of Abraham.
