There have been claims recently from Occupy Seattle, that the Police acted violently towards peaceful protesters for no reason during the recent attempt to shut down the port.
But according to a newly released video recorded by the Police, it was the Occupiers that first acted violent when they threw bricks, sharpened rebar and bags of paint at the Officers.

Sounds PRECISELY like the “religion of peace” propaganda machine. And JUST like the Tea Party.
More precisely, NO SALE, domestic terrorists!

What, you mean Jesus would not have thrown sharpened rebar at the Roman soldiers, hmm, I guess Jesse Jackson was wrong, again.
Rock commented:
Has anyone told Jesse Jackson? He seems to think the occupy thugs and Jesus share the same mind set.

Occupy Seattle Threw Sharpened Rebar,…
That’s reason enough to go after ‘em.
Wanna stage a “protest”? Feel free to do so.
Looking to cause bodily harm as part of your “protest”? Don’t squeal like a pig when the appropriate authorities go in and mop the floor with you.

Yet those ass-* from the left keep insisting that it’s the cops that are being violent….

Attorney General Holder stated these activitie4s were all within the realm of the first amendment. In the meantime he announced stepped up efforts to close illegal lemonade stands, christmas try stands, and local authorities who defy his edicts.

All of them “Persons of the Year” according to Time Magazine.

All they were saying is give a piece of sharpened rebar a chance.

Cop killings on the rise nationwide, protesters blamed.
In the wake of the murder of 22-year NYPD veteran Peter Figoski yesterday, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund has announced that the number of law enforcement officers across the country who have died in the line of duty is already up 14% over last year. There have been 166 total fatalities so far this year, up from 146 in 2010. And Craig Floyd, Chairman of the fund, says, “For the first time in 14 years, firearms-related deaths will outnumber traffic and ‘other’-related deaths.” Why the increased death toll. Theories include budget cuts, increasingly violent criminals, and “anti-government” protests.
“These deaths come at a time when we’re drastically cutting back on budgets for police departments across the country,” Floyd tells CNN. His Communications Director, Stephen G, points too previously incarcerated individuals willing to avoid jail or die trying by shooting their way out of situations. “We’re seeing more of that in recent years,” says Groeninger. In New York State, 11 officers have been killed so far this year, up from two deaths last year [pdf].
Of course, you can’t forget about the dangerous impact of political activism—these protesters share their part of the blame, too. “I think that we have a strong anti-government sentiment in our country, similar to the 1970s, the deadliest decade in law enforcement,” says Floyd. “In the ’70s we saw a lot of protests and disrespect for law enforcement officials, and we’re seeing the same thing today.” Indeed, people, especially here in NYC, just don’t seem to have as much respect for cops these days. Thank heavens Mayor Bloomberg stepped in and evicted Occupy Wall Street when he did, before more police officers paid the price!

When asked often “are you worried about your husband”? I want to say, “what a dumb question”, but I don’t say that, I say, “if I worried 24/7 I would not only be a nervous wreck but I would make my kids like that, too.
And officer has a every changing situation and it is like that every moment he or she is on duty.
Calls come in so differently and your must be alert and on your toes 24/7 but this haunts me and it is the only thing about my husband job that does. And I hate to say it here because I have never said it to my sons but I fear if my husband were to be killed it would be an ambush. Oh, enough of that, and another idiosyncrasy of mine is, when he was a rookie and it was a night like any other night and when leaving I said, “be Careful” well, that night my husband was in a combat of sorts with other officers, a man was barricaded in his home with with an arsenal and keep shooting and shooting at the officers. One officer was killed another lost fingers, my husband had shotgun pellets lodged in his head but one is still in his head you can feel it. Doctors said it would be worse to remove it and it wasn’t going anywhere.
Well, I don’t say “be careful” and that was years ago. He has had many injuries and has been bitten and spat on, but that night change things, it made me so aware of the evilness and anger that is just outside the door. But we must be strong and loving to our spouses they have it hard enough. And they are some of the strongest, bravest and caring people you could ever know.
God Bless all the first responders and our men and women in law enforcement. Say a prayer for them, please.

So it only took the mayor three months to realize that some of the protestors are being intentionally provocative towards the police? How very astute. To us normal folks, it has been obvious since day one.
