we're through the looking glass here people

That guy? He's been in the news already and his picture is all over the internet. Why would they be so stupid as to...

...you know what, forget I asked.

serial_crusher: Remember kids, retired police officers are above the law. Rules don't apply to them.

What law did he break? If you retire from the police force you are allowed to wear a full dress uniforms at events the you (yes, you, not the department you worked for) deem fit.

I wouldn't be surprised if Captain Lewis handed out silver bullets and had a Native American sidekick.

/ retired police captains can be douches too, ya know

Why is the NYPD arresting anyone unless they're you know being disorderly or looting or something like that? Why not just let the people protest?

I'm waiting for this pic to start getting some traction

jehovahs witness protection: Meh, I just stay away from any area infested by douche bag protesters.

Just as well, they'd rather you not come around.

BillCo: The adults have business to take care of.

Says a lot of what you think of the first amendment that you'd say that.

BillCo: Sounds like you are trying to suppress my freedom of speech.

You're the one telling protesters to go home

The irony of a Philly cop being the victim of police brutality is not lost on me.

Really? The Daily Fail is the best link for this?

There you go again. Why do you hate freedom of speech.

How do you manage to breathe, dumbass?

"You should, by law, only use force to protect someone's life or to protect them from being bodily injured. If you're not protecting somebody's life or protecting them from bodily injury, there's no need to use force. And the number one thing that they always have in their favor that they seldom use is negotiation-continue to talk, and talk and talk to people. You have nothing to lose by that. This bullrush-what happened last night is totally uncalled for when they did not use negotiation long enough."

colinspooky: In the UK, he would have been arrested just for what he's wearing - illegal to impersonate a police officer and that includes dressing like one so others wouldn't know he was retired, so, take your choice........

Over here, retired soldiers wear their dress uniforms all the time, particularly for ceremonies and VFW meetings. I imagine the same would go for retired police captains.

Holy shiat! I think I just went back in time!

Damn. Forgot to right down the powerball numbers for this week though.

No one has said that you shouldn't be allowed to comment. Just noting the content of said comment.

Again, NYPD is doing it wrong. The protest is a symptom. The proper role of the police is to find the cause of the disease, the people who victimized the protestors, investigate those people to see if they have broken any laws whatsoever (and they probably have, since supposedly everyone in the U.S. commits three felonies a day without realizing it) and then arrest those people. The protest will disperse spontaneously when the conditions that caused it are alleviated.

He has a reminder tattooed on the back of his hand.

After mounths of people ignoreing them OWS are finally getting pics of cops clashing with them that they wanted.
Now these photos can get them the world media attention, and some magical political fairy will put everything right in the world.

The Stealth Hippopotamus: He's a union thug, beat his arse!!


On a side note, we have finally found a cop Fark can root for!!!

Not so fast there, Bucko.

Must be a Lib police captain. Better not trust what he has to say.

Because people have business to conduct, places to go, parks to enjoy? Squatting is not protesting.

What do you think protesting involves?

_{I am always interested in the bizarrely inaccurate shiat people tell themselves}

Look up the Bonus Army sometime. And the city could just provide a space for the people and let them at it, after all the people aren't protesting the city government. If it's inconvenient to people maybe they should start going after those who are the cause of people protesting in the first place.

Was he protesting the good moral fiber of our executives, our wealthy, our proudly affluent, who worked so hard and took so many calculated risks to get to where they are today?

-Yes.

Let them eat cake.

and any other thread and the Total Farkers would be calling him a pig.

Well you know the way authoritarins throw their own under the bus if they dare to question.

Big brother is never wrong. Thinking is for commies.

BillCo: World to OCW - Your 15 minutes are up. Move along. The adults have business to take care of.

BEEAH! Wrong answer. Try again please.

I guess professional courtesy for NYPD officers in Philly just got revoked.

I see you were doing 5 over. That's worth enough tickets to suspend your license.

Hey. The corporate media isn't covering this.
They're skeered of their corporate masters.

All of the editors know what they have to ignore without even being told to ignore it.
