NEW YORK POLICE OFFICER SLASHED!… #OWS Protesters Throw Chemicals at Cops

(NY Post)
The protesters were chanting “peaceful” as they attacked the cops.
My friend Kenny took this video earlier today:
A police officer was slashed today at the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City.
FOX News reported:
A New York City police officer was slashed during Thursday’s “Occupy Wall Street” action– and a second cop was taken to a local hospital with an eye injury– after clashes between protesters and activists across lower Manhattan, sources told FoxNews.com.
Both officers are said to be in stable condition, although the incident marked an escalation of tension in the uneasy give-and-take between NYPD officers charged with maintaining order, and protesters determined to be heard.
The officer sustained the injury after a long day of marches and demonstrations by protesters across Manhattan’s Financial District. Here’s what happened, according to law enforcement sources.
Prompted by unknown reasons, a single officer, on-duty at the time, waded into a mass of protesters in Zuccotti Park. Once there, the officer called for back-up. Two additional officers responded to the call for help and joined the original one.
Something was thrown at eye of the original officer, perhaps an irritant, said law enforcement sources at the scene. Then, moments later, something “sharp” was thrown at one of other officers providing back-up, causing a deep gash on this thumb, the source said.
The officer hit in the eye was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where his injured eye was “flushed out,” said a law enforcement source. The second cop was taken to an as-yet unidentified local hospital, where he was due to receive numerous stitches to close the gash on his hand, law enforcement sources told FoxNews.com.
The Obama-endorsed protesters threw chemicals at several police officers in the morning.
The New York Post reported:
In total, seven police officers were injured in today’s chaotic series of events. One of them suffered a cut on his hand that required 20 stitches after a protester tossed an unknown object at him.
Four others were hurt this morning when a demonstrator threw liquid — possibly vinegar — in their eyes.
Organizers have said they were energized by Bloomberg’s decision to clean out the squalid tent city at Zuccotti Park this past Tuesday, resulting in 230 arrests.

MAJ Mike commented:
The Dem-Cong will claim police brutality and claim that lawlessnes and violence are uncommonly rare amongst the Occupiers. Already I hear the Lib-Cong claiming that any violence among the Occupiers is vastly over-reported by biased agencies.
Remember, the Occupiers are the face of the Dem-Cong Party. Consider these actions when you vote. Is this what you want for the Republic?

I can’t believe the protester’s blood is red. They’re all so full of Sh*t I figured it would be brown.

just like the tea party

Officers attacked by union indorsed anarchist, their own dues paying for the elements that look to do them harm. And yet they follow the union leadership. Pathetic!

I don’t understand. They’re still going to have the Joan Baez concert right?
Mad Hatter commented:
They’ve been wanting this the whole time, and now their buddies in the Alinsky Media will make them out to be victims by showing America just one side of the story.
Rules for Radicals at work before your very eyes.
Gorn commented:
Hey Jim, Your “Far Left Occupy DC goon” who fired shots at the whitehouse is quoted by
friends as saying that Obama was “The Anti-Christ”, and he thought the Federel Government was the source of all his problems & FBI was conspiring against him.
Yep….sound like a “leftist”, alright.
Gorn commented:
He was also obsessed with the date 11-11-11….
Still think he’s not mentally ill?
gus commented:
GOM you are a LIBTARD ergo YOU are MENTALLY ILL.
The dude who shot at the WHITE HOUSE was hanging with you freaks. We aren’t.
Why don’t you grow a fvcking brain ass hole.
MamaGrizzly commented:
If Gorn is correct, then yes, the man was delusional, psychotic, like the Giffords shooter.
ant commented:
Oh now. The Republicans have sent hundreds and hundreds of spies to these movements for weeks on end just to stir up this violence and make lefties look bad. Everybody knows that./sarc.
RKflorida commented:
Start kicking butt and arresting these thugs. When they injure the cops they have crossed a line. And when you arrest them, do not release them. Pack the jail cells if necessary.
Sasja commented:
I thought NYC had mounted patrols. Why are they not using them? Altho horses are beautiful animals they can be very intimidating and useful for crowd control.
Militant Conservative commented:
Hmm, 21 and has an expensive AK-47. Must pass many checks to get said weapon.
He had prior “issues” I think the man either stole it or this is a goose chase.
Too many coincidences here. Sympathy plea via the WH. with a willing accomplice.
Snipers on the roof top 24/7 and you cannot spot a car at night via muzzle
flash. Naa, too much BS on this one. This stinks like Obamas speaches.
Too convenient for the WH.
Powder is dry & popcorn too!
Rock commented:
Sasja #14,
Do you really want to expose the poor animals to the disease invested filth that is now roaming the streets of NY?
tommy mc donnell commented:
the people that injuried the policemen are the same people that the police union leaders are in solidiarty with.
song of the south commented:
Everything is falling into place for a horror show America is not ready for.Get prepared.
owl commented:
Did I miss the Obama Sermon about Words causing Violence? Surely he was on the tube telling us all to be calm and make with the nice words. Surely the Professional MSM Pooper-Scoopers were out in force to………well…………enforce his sermon?
owl commented:
Oh, that’s right. Once again, he splits when anything is going on. Heads for higher ground.
OWS supporter commented:
Good-the police get what they deserve. They think they’re above the law and everyone else when they’re a less-than-normal human being with problems with authority. Look at all of the incidences falsely arresting people, pushing, hitting and punching protesters.
Cops are so corrupt, especially in NYC and they never get the punishment they deserve. Just paid leave. Maybe I should become a cop?
Mad Hatter commented:
#21,
So if a New York cop gets killed by a criminal “they get what they deserve?” Is that the delusional world you live in?
No wonder why you people want cop killers released from jail.
Go back to the Daily Kook website, no one wants to hear your anti police rant.
KC commented:
@15
I thought the same thing when it first happened, seriously?
@18
Couldn’t agree with you more, spot on fellow Patriot!
wtfisgoingon commented:
These are the same people that would call 911 for assistance if they were in danger.
Many of the officers involved were there to help on 9/11.
What a bunch of ungrateful bas***ds.
Katie commented:
Absolutely mindless. How many times to we see this. The chanting and complete disconnect. Maybe we should let them camp in their filth. Let nature, and natural selection take care of them.
Mike Hunt commented:
The cops need to start using real bullets sub-human parasites!
Michael commented:
You have to hand it to the NYPD. Most of the coverage shows many high ranking command officers in the middle of seemingly every incident.
Because of that, the protesters should be thankful that they only end up on the ground and handcuffed.
Without that command presence, an awful lot of these QWS idiots would and should be getting copious amounts of stick time.
Hedgehog commented:
God Bless New York’s Finest. And they are.
wtfisgoingon commented:
Things have never been perfect in this country but the last couple of years have taken a turn for the worst.
It WAS the best country to live in at one time. Not so anymore. It sure has changed, just as promised.
wtfisgoingon commented:
After looking at the photo, does anyone have doubts that the blood on that dude is real?
IMO, it isnt flowing like a normal wound would do.
KC commented:
#14 Sasja commented:
I thought NYC had mounted patrols. Why are they not using them? Altho horses are beautiful animals they can be very intimidating and useful for crowd control.
I appreciate your thoughts. This small amount of people can be controled if they use real bullets, tear gas, tazers, stun grenades and end the madness.
Hell for that matter, call the NRA! Several of their members would gladly end this with the promise of leniency! (meaning, we’ll take care of it, you clean up the bodies)
StrangernFiction commented:
Cops are so corrupt
Is the corruption limited to just the cops, or are other public employees corrupt as well?
flyover fred commented:
Welcome to America’s Reichstag Fire.
President Obama openly embraced and encouraged this movement. His colleague and neighbor Bill Ayers has been speaking to them and giving them tactical briefings and training. The movement has been funded by union leaders who have been meeting with him weekly. Czars and former officials of his administration were instrumental in its planning and operation.
Congress should call this President to come before them and explain whether he’s incompetent or willfully inciting violence against the American people.
Captain America commented:
Sliderblaze, you have NO IDEA what you are talking about. There has NEVER been anything like this at a Tea Party rally, ever.
Sasja commented:
KC, I am a member of the NRA and I doubt they would be in favor of shooting these diseased idiots just for the heck of it. Now, in self-defense, sure. Otherwise, I would prefer trying mounted police and attack dogs to round them up and then give them six months at hard labor, in the cold.
Valerie commented:
They were looking for their “Kent State Moment”, and what they got was a “Timothy McVeigh” moment, or maybe it’s an “SDS explosion” moment.
If what I hear on KOGO radio in San Diego is true, the earnest and good-hearted people that got suckered into this movement are going to make common cause with the local TEA Party, and the violent ones and the bums are going to alienate everyone else.
Patty commented:
With the insanity, I am very surprised that many haven’t been killed. The psychotic behavior, seriously deranged people with no direction or plan. Just disobey the law and disrupt those who are trying to work a regular day and go home to their families.
Tragic situation and who really didn’t see this coming. A mish mosh of humans disturbing the peace in place of doing something creative or essential.
Rock commented:
At some point large city police officers will have to come to terms with who and/or what they serve, The people and their Constitution, or the union bosses and their political allies. Protect & Serve vs control & enslave.
gus commented:
The problem with even ATTEMPTING to debate the OCCUPEEE WOODSTINK bowel movement vs the TEA PARTY, is that the difference is SO INCREDIBLY STRIKING.

I think you may be missing a bit of sarcasm.
gus commented:
The whole concept of this STINK FEST was rancid. It has been supported and funded by those who have FUNDED OBAMA. Obama’s clo$e$t POLITICAL CRONIES……ARE…..STINKIFFY WHEREVER.
the MEDIA KNOWS THIS.
STERN/LERNER/TRUMKA/AYERS/PFLEGER and many many many more ARE the STINKFEST.
What do they want??
They want to change the subject.
Obama has decided that, RIOTS, FILTH, DEATH, MAYHEM and the BLOODY SHIRT is the way to stay in POWER.
Sorry Barack McFlapEars, but you cannot control the FIRE that you START.
gorn commented:
You guys crying “false flag” are lost. You really think
thr best false flag threat to the president the U.S. Government
can pull off is some beard guy putting a crack the White House
window when the Presidents isn’t even in DC?
gorn commented:
Gus….skipping your meds is not advisable.
gorn commented:
Are you guys the same Whackjob who claimed that George W Bush wad planning to declare Marshall law, and become Dictator-die-Life? The lyrics are a bit different, but the tune sound almost identical. Seek help
Dan commented:
this is when the police were trying to herd them into the park, there is a much better rooftop video of this…the police are out of control….the government is out of control we just hit a new record of 15 trillion today.

How Congress Occupied Wall Street

“Are you guys the same Whackjob who claimed that George W Bush was planning to declare..” he he he…now they think that any idea that obama could harbour the same plans they accused Bush of is dellusional. i can’t see anything in obama that measures what they see and i don’t think that it’s my loss.
[[President Obama's healthcare law will leave millions of families without affordable coverage unless tax officials rewrite the rules on who gets subsidies, advocates warned Thursday.]] i guess i have 3 years to practice my look of shock and concern when reality hits..

“This call for real reform must transcend political parties. The grass-roots
movements of the right and the left should embrace this. The tea party’s
mission has always been opposition to waste and crony capitalism, and
the Occupy protesters must realize that Washington politicians have
been “Occupying Wall Street” long before anyone pitched a tent in
Zuccotti Park.”
Amen Sarah, Amen..

Herman Cain says OWS out to “destroy” America
[In New Hampshire on Thursday, Cain accused the protesters of "trying
to destroy the greatest nation in the world" with plans to stop traffic and
subway commuters. He accused them of trying "to infringe upon people's
right and liberty to go to work."
[..]
Later in Nashua Cain joked with the crowd about his much covered
“pause” taken when he was answering a question about Libya recently
and poking fun at the media’s attention to the story. “They spend more
time focusing on when I’m not talking then when the other candidates are
talking,” he said. “Here’s the point that they’re missing: I think before I
speak. I know that’s a novel idea.”
He added, “The people that are on the Cain train don’t get off because
of that crap. And I know that’s not a politically correct word.”]

“Where free unions and collective bargaining are
forbidden, freedom is lost.” ~ Ronald Reagan
“But not collective hijacking. What I mean by that, if they have gotten
so much for so many years and it’s going to bankrupt the state, I don’t
think that’s good. It appears that in some instances, they really don’t
care.” ~ Herman Cain

yes, way back when Congress & the
UN were also uncorrupted.. *sigh*
re: ECHO TEA PARTIES OF TODAY
WHO IS THE TEA PARTY ATTACKING??
damn progressives, still trying to “equate” good with evil..
“what the fascist left have been aiming for is to “equate” good with evil..
that’s the only way they can appease their conscience in the face of the
harsh reality they are trying to escape from because it does not fit in with
their ideological utopian matrix.. if there is no good vs evil, then all is good
even if [the] all is evil..” – bg

Marshall Law you say? No doubt named after some really mean guy named Marshall.
Try martial law.
While you’re at it, try a different website. We’re educated here.
Vicky Hernandez commented:
Dear bg thanks for the heads up on your posts. Re the unions, I should’ve been more specific: they did help Ronaldus Magnus with Solidarity in Poland. Could they’ve done it because they were helping a “brother union,” and not for altruistic reasons? Perhaps. Same with the Hard Hat Riots? Again, perhaps. The main thing is that in both those cases Leftist bullies were “out-bullied.” ;=}
Of course there is a great difference between the rank & file and the union leadership. Look at Trumka. That’s one mean bulldog who, along with the Purple People Beaters, are ready to bust them some kneecaps for Obama. Not because they love Obama so much, but because he preserves their power.
Thanks, again.
Gary commented:
Vicky
Those types are always grossly outnumbered by the rest of us.
That’s why they howl in the streets while we sit home and yawn. We all know what would happen if they really started that war.
So they take to the streets and pretend to want a war, talking tough and occasionally bullying isolated weaklings.
We all know the score.
What’s funny about this is that the NYPD are unionized. So in a way, it’s union against union.
jonny commented:
WOW, as an English person looking in at all this from overseas (yes there are other countries aside from the US) I’m amazed by the comments here. What a land you live in. I think you should try suicide. Oh and there is no god, idiots.
Wendilynn commented:
Mob mentality is never good, no matter what the cause. It just ruins anything you have to say. You’d think people would know by now.
Joshua Grigonis commented:
I was looking for where the protesters attacked the cops, can you point out where that happened? I did see someone who threw what looked like a candy wrapper at the cops, but it might have been a crumpled up piece of notebook paper. I also heard lots of other protesters tell them to knock it off.
George W. Alless commented:
We should let them secede! They can have dirty old NY, all the liberal elitist east coast ivy league crap. They can have winter an Obama too. We’ll keep Texas, Arizona, and Florida , all the warm states. Put Herman Cain in as President! It’ll be almost like the good old days! .
