Riiight....so Obama ordered the beatdown on the protesters?

Disingenuous, much? Of course you are.

jpo2269: I have seen some protestors actually complain that certain cities have not provided them with porta-potties; basically, let us protest, but don't expect us to take on any responsibilty

that's happened in cities where the city has turned down the protesters permit applications to have the porta-potties put in place. Also there's precedent for governments providing for protesters just because it makes things simpler and is in the grand scheme of thing the right to do.

I find it ironic that the OWS folks do not realize the cities, counties, states they are protesting in have been cutting budgets for the last three years, providing porta-potties not only encourages these refugee camps being established, they actually take food, or money out of the hands of someone who is in need... As I have said, the OWS folks have every right to protest, IMO, they could be doing so in a much more postive manner.

No, it's more like, where is Obama when all of this brutality is going on? He pays lip-service to the movement, but hasn't been seen doing much else in support.

The obvious answer is that he's a corporate shill, but a lot of Democrats who regard Obama as a hero are unable to accept that answer.

halfof33: evilmousse: point being these tools are enabling forcible coercion more than they're saving lives.

Ouch, I'm not sure I would call the Campers tools, I mean they have proved to be mostly useless...

Lou: I don't feel right clubbing women and children, Chief.

Chief Wiggum: I hear ya. Some days are tougher than others. Just close your eyes and club. (The babies swarm over the cops, knocking them to the ground) This is it boys, we'll have to tummy kiss our way out!

All the cops in the doughnut shops, eyohh, they use the pepper spray for crowd control! All the kids who have no point, eyohh, get to savor pepper spray, it beats the joint!

I'm sure the point there is "In the United States, we will stand up for protestors protesting their government", you know... certain rights in America

unless it is IN the US.

Nice strawman, there. You're getting better. I'm starting to see the real you now.

These student protesters are the finest law enforcement heroes in America today. They enforced our American freedoms.

The cops, meanwhile, are violent, criminal thugs who made a sad mockery of the Constitution.

I didn't realize Obama was an absolute dictator who could wield power over state jurisdictions.

I would be more curious as to whether he prefers his pizza with or without a layer of pure capsaicin drizzled under the cheese.

Why do you hate me, whidbey? I want what you want: an elimination of corruption in business and government.

whidbey: I didn't realize Obama was an absolute dictator who could wield power over state jurisdictions.

Really dude? You're going to argue with this one?

Doesn't Obama lead this country?

Where is this leadership while state /city /local police departments abuse their power and attack unarmed people?

jpo2269:

Well, FFS, get on out there an tell them exactly how they *should* be doing this sir, if you are so knowledgeable in this specific area.

fark that was supposed to say an exclusive halftime quote.

They also retired the number 29 at halftime. Turned out that as the Coach's favorite number, because there are 20 of them!

Obama is not the Governor of California. I'm sorry you think he should be.

BroVinny: Why do you hate me, whidbey? I want what you want: an elimination of corruption in business and government.

Then start actually supporting this movement. Stop trying to see it from "both sides."

There really aren't any.

Dude, seriously, it is Whidbey. Don't waste your time.

The guy's hero is Dictator for Life Chavez.

Ask him how Occupy Venezuela is coming and he'll put you on ignore faster than Sean Penn blowing Hugo.

whidbey: I'm sorry you think he should be.

I see you can still be a dick. Where did I say I thought he should be the Governor of Cali? Quote please?

But anyways, since you say that... isn't Cali a state in the United States? Doesn't he lead the United States?

Yes, halfof33 is an annoying troll that many have learned to stop replying to. What a surprise...

Not sure what "FFS" means, but given the fact these folks can't afford porta-potties, I doubt they could afford my services. But thank you for the suggestion.

According to the comments on this site, Occupiers will be stealing your house next so we have to mace them before that happens. Or something.

Benevolent Misanthrope: quickdraw: Wait - you guys know these are campus cops right? This makes them basically one rung up from mall cops. They can't make arrests they can just hold you till the real cops get there. They can't write tickets either. What they can do is fark up your education if the university takes their side.

Ummmm... no. Or at least, not necessarily. I've worked at 2 universities where the campus PD was a real Police Department, with guns, arrests, a holding cell, and everything. From their website, I'd say the UC Davis police are also real cops.

With all the dickishness that entails.

Considering how intertwined the city and university are and the city would be little more then a gas station and Murder Burger stop between Sacramento and San Francisco I'm voting real cops.

Hey, how is Occupy Venezuela coming, sport?

lulz.

Vegas...or are you still Pennsyvaniaj? ;)

Your argument is ridiculous. Why do you think the President should get involved?

I mean, if it were an emergency, I could understand, but no.

Now, the Governor of California should be concerned about this sh*t. But I know he probably doesn't give a fark because he's not up for re-election.

Peter von Nostrand: I do feel bad for the people that got pepper sprayed but... a cop using excessive force for little or no reason, yeah, only happens about ~1,000 times a day

Yes, but how often do you hear about it?

whidbey: Then start actually supporting this movement. Stop trying to see it from "both sides."

Citing that Obama is part of the problem is trying to see it from both sides?

If you can't see Obama is in bed with Wall Street, you need corrective lenses.

It appeared that the cop:protester ratio was about 1:20, and the cops were threatening the mob with farking paintball guns?

The cops should be thanking their lucky stars that the protesters didn't decide to simply rip their arms and legs off, and leave them to bleed out on the ground, choking on their own pepper spray.

If he was at least an interesting troll-boy it might be entertaining.

Yeah a bit too herky-jerky for me, too. He kind of reminds me of that incomprehensible Indian on "Go Go Gophers."

Nice try, but the University of California police departments (most, if not all, campuses have their own department) are fully licensed police departments. They can make arrests, they can write citations, and they can fark up your education.

The big disconnect between us:

I really don't see how he had a choice. And you also seem to forget who it was who left us with this colossal klstrfk of an economic recession, and who might have done things differently to stop things from happening the way they did.

Yes, the Bush administration. But you keep blaming the guy who was stuck with cleaning it up, and pretending he has amazing dictatorial powers that Bush thought he had.

/I searched your posts in this thread. You really brought it man, keep on repeating the party line.

Say hi to Whidbey for me!

whidbey: Why do you think the President should get involved?

He can chime up for Egypt's protests but not the US's.

I believe that is the point of the picture and quote.

Still in Pittsburgh, love it.
