Police arrested 27 #Occupy Portland protesters earlier in the week. (KPTV)
An #Occupy Portland protester pushed a police sergeant into a moving bus yesterday during a protest march against police violence.
Breitbart TV has video.
Police made one arrest during the march. They said 30-year-old David Anthony Burgess shoved a police sergeant into a TriMet bus while it was moving, then dashed back into the crowd.
The sergeant suffered minor injuries and did not require medical treatment, police said.
Police later found Burgess after the march and arrested him. He was booked into the Multnomah County Jail, accused of assaulting a police officer, interfering with police, second-degree disorderly conduct and harassment.
The march became large enough that Portland police had to call in extra help from its Rapid Response Team, traffic division and officers from all three precincts to help control the crowd.
The local march of hundreds of people was part of a larger nationwide event.
Also joining Portland’s march were several veterans groups. The groups united in solidarity and urged an end to what they call police violence.
Another successful rally against police violence.

Sounds to me that the police are doing their job. Aren’t they supposed to protect citizens and businesses? These protesters need to go home and start looking for employment. Don’t tell me there are no jobs. I know someone who filled out applications on-line and received 7 calls for interviews in the first two weeks. You have to put an effort into finding employment and you won’t move forward by tearing up property and blocking streets that us ordinary citizens provide taxes for. Looks like Woodstock all over again.

Obama’s mob. Don’t forget to label these groups with the person’s name that sent them.
OBAMA’s thugs. He called them into the street.

Do you suppose Obama will call the UN in and send unmanned drones to shoot the police?
owl commented:
Obama is doing trial runs. It is coming folks.
He is giving practice to each group. Organizer. Unions in WI looking out for the kids. Teen black flashmobs. Young & stupid, save the world group. Unions. See a pattern for 2012?
Organizer.

One of these fools is either going to die or kill someone and all Hell is going to break loose at one of these things. The public won’t be very tolerant of your violence, children. When they go to the polls they are going to remember who kicked police officers and assaulted and raped kids at their campouts, and they will remember who supported the rabble. Thanks for the Republican Senate, House and probably Presidency, kiddos. I’ll be sure to thank you when we’re packing the courts with 30-year old Robert Bork’s! Oh, and thanks to you suspending the filibuster this session, we’ll be perfectly ok with using the same Senate rule to ram our nominees through! Thank, again!

There is an important point missing here. These mobsters marched yesterday to show support for the vet in Oakland that was allegedly wounded by police. Which your article below now reports the guy wasn’t wounded by the police.
So this guy was just doing what this group of hippie low lifes were telling him to do……………that is protest their favorite cause, non existent police brutality.

Why isn’t a massive recall petition starting for Oakland’s mayor?
chuck in st paul commented:
Which veterans groups?? ‘Veterans with dishonorable discharges’? ‘Veterans of Halo 3′? ‘Veterans of the Mom’s Basement Brigade’? Perhaps the ‘John Kerry hero brigrade’?
Those of us who served honorably would be down there alright, observing the target rich environment and finding good strong points to position from. *grin*
dunce commented:
The stories on the arrests never mention if the crimes were video recorded for later presentation in court. Some may think that if arrested that it will be their word against the officer and their identification is doubtful because they got lost in the crowd. The cameras they perform for are a double edged sword. Private parties could be charged with obstruction of justice for refusing to give evidence to the police.

Posted this on an older thread so repeating:
Having been trapped in the middle of violent ethnic cleansing,as a humanitarian emergency relief aid worker, I can attest that bottles and rocks, chunks of cement, burning gas (molotov cocktails)and rebar are LETHAL weapons that KILL.
Crowd dispersal gas is irritating by design, but NONLETHAL.
THe rotten, spoiled white brats who signed $200,000 debt for elite college tuitions, are attacking the cops with things that WILL KILL THEM. Those COPS are PEOPLE, most of whom are married with kids. An OWS protester who succeeds in killing a cop will leave a widow and orphans as human wreckage.
THey DON’T CARE. IT’s ALL about PRETENDING to be “downtrodden.”
STuff THAT disgusting exaggerated self-pity parade. Those OWS actually want to KILL MEN and WOMEN.
The OWS are using LETHAL weapons against the cops who are responding with NON-lethal force.
WHO will be ruined for life more, a protestor who on aggressive assault kills a cop or a cop in self-defense who kills a protestor?
The protestors have better LAWYERS than the cops. Rich brats.

Support a vet? These people wouldn’t do anything for true veterans. They are supporting one of their dingbat comrades who hates the military, hates the USA, and hates jews. Thats what these people are.
