That's sad and disturbing... feel sorry for the protesters.
Say what you will about them, it's sad when any active political movement gets attacked by instigators and gangsters...
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Quite awesome actually. The criminal occupiers having crimes committed against them. Who will protect them, the MAN? They clearly need more facilitators and drum circles.
Oh look, Bill Ayers, former domestic terrorist now college professor, hanging out at Occupy Chicago. I guess he misses the old days. Watch your backs police officers, the Weathermen have returned.

In fact, I'm fairly certain, seeing as the members of the various police forces usually arent' part of that top 1%, they want to make the police's lives better, not worse.

They are protesting THE MAN, MAN, and you can't rely on THE MAN!

You're confusing the protesters with the stoners and other drug-addled criminals that have come to infest their protest camps.
The Occupy Whatever protests are aimed at the inordinate and consistently increasing disparity between the wealthy and everyone else (middle class and poor).

I'm sure the OccupiedNY'rs were facilitating good relations with Police when they took a dump on their patrol car.

Yes, the actions of a few extremists always match the beliefs of everyone else in the movement. That's why the Tea Party movement is actually a terrorist organization plotting to shoot congresswomen, bomb abortion clinics, and set fire to planned parenthood buildings.

Yea but there aren't many occupiers, so really they're all extremists.
Wait, The Tea Party isn't that? (tears up tea Party membership card). Oh wait, no one in the Tea Party actually did any of that...

The extremists who do things like that commonly associate themselves with the tea party. Their main complaint is that the tea party is too secular, heh...

So thats a no then.
No tea party member has blown up an abortion clinic.
No tea party member has shot a congresswoman (unlike the socialist one who did last year).
Gotcha.

Actually a doctor was relatively recently murdered (the same doctor had also been shot in the early '90s for the same reason). But be that as it may, I said the same type of people.
You want to paint the Occupy Whatever protesters as horrible people who suck and aren't really people, fine. The tea party fanatics are just as bad if not worse.

Yes and appareantly Khaddafy was shot as well. Neither of those are related to the Tea Party.

Live in denial all you want, there's still been more than enough nutty nutjobs with their nutty nuttery clouding up their message and making the entire movement seem nuty.

Finally, a protest the Republicans can get behind.

I was unaware that the Oakland PD and the NYPD were the same group.
Its all THE MAN, MAN.

Probably, but it doesn't justify the head cracking on its face.
"This one guy across the country did something bad, so this other guy in front of us, who is also a part of this diffuse movement, is likely to do something similar."
I mean, I understand why that sort of argument would be compelling in the moment but, as you know, I also believe that stupidity should be pointed out.
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

You'd think he'd be the first one to know when to duck.

That said, I doubt the police were aiming for that, but even still... you aim for the ground at their feet, not at their heads. You want the cannister to start dispersing tear gas to make them want to GTFO, not to hit them with it.
