THe point of civil Disobedience is to intentionally get arrested.

a mob Detaining Police officers to firce them to un arrest people is NOT CIVIL DISOBEDIANCE.

And the Police had the duty to use the least amount of force necessarry to clear the path and go about thier bussiness.


Which is what they did.

actually Sanity is "taking the word" the actuall story of a participant, named, elli pearson, on camera telling the story.

Not the word of a "chanting mob of leftists".

It seems intentional on your part to have such poor comprehension.



And Just so I am understanding you, you feel the mob had the right to detain the police officers and force them to un arrest people.

That is what happened. The student says so, and the video at the bottom clearly shows it.


That is not civil disobedience, that is serious crime.

Which is apperantly supported by most of the left, at least in here.


Interesting video. A lot of stuff is shown that is intentionally cut out of the propaganda and MSM videos.



Every "sprayee" was individually warned that it was going to happen if they chose to remain, in thier attempt to interefere with the Officers Lawfull Actions. While the crowd chanted "let them go and well let you go".


And you think people support this nonsense.



It is noteworthy, that the protest against this was only important enough for 30 of the over 30,000 students to skip thanksgiving for.


I bet the vast majority of Students will go to class on Monday, and most of the strike will be from non students.

Photographic evidence in post 4 above kinda debunks that 'trapped and surrounded story'  there is a nice path bewteen the 2 officers on the left of the line (One appears to be walking toward it) and the 7 or 8 officers standing unconcernedly on the other side.  I do believe that if the 2 on the left were trapped, they would be doing something besides sitting around with their hands on their hips observing.

Again.

So a still photograph, taken AFTER the pepper spraying had begun, showing what APPEARS to be a path into an area that CANT BE SEEN, debunks the video and testimony? Ridiculous attempt at denial. If you think ANY police action would be taken at any Occupy demonstration without provocation youre insane. Its what they are living their lives for (ask Skippy), and the police arent that stupid when every news station and cell phone would catch it.

I'll address this first.  Home videos of police doing errm 'embarassing things' have been really common for about 3 decades now.  Why, then, do they keep doing it?  I'll agree with you that it's stupidity.

I watched the video at the bottom and the officer is talking to people calmly and they are talking to him calmly while people chant in the background.   A minute and a half of people talking to each other.

Your point is?


Thanks for telling me about that vid at the bottom, dawg.

If you watch it, at :59 and at 1:12, you can see an easy path down the sidewalk all the way to the parking lot from the opposite side of the line of seated people as the officer speaking to them.  The officer Speaking to the protestors on the right side of the line in the video is the same guy that is spraying them from the left side of the line in the still pictures.

How did he get from one side of the line of sitting protestors to the other?  I'd guess he walked.  If he could walk around the line to the other side to spray them, I bet the others could as well.

Ergo, they weren't trapped.

Again, dawg, thanks for telling me about the fucking video at the bottom of the page.

Apples and oranges. Incidents like Rodney King happen in the heat of the moment and without expectation of being videoed. An organized demonstration with a planned response, with news orgs there and the world watching is totally different.

Timeline wilbur.  Supposedly they were trapped.  The officer talked to them and THEN walked over to the other side. How do I know that?  The video was taken of people who hadn't been peppersprayed yet.  If his buddies wanted out, they'd have followed him. If you can freely walk to the other side of a line as he did, you are not trapped by that line.  Bottom line.  They didn't want out, they just wanted to 'water the hippies'.

I know I must sound like a broken record by now, but I strongly urge people to take great care when looking at quotations, especially compiled quotations from a third party. It is very easy to take them out of context. People of all political affiliations have been guilty of misconstruing a quotation to further their own goals. Still others fall victim to these misconstructions and take them at face value.

While the water the hippies sentiment is one I would share, that simply isnt what the video and reporting say. And the OWS's version is consistent with what the police have said since the beginning.

I want to be very clear in calling upon the Egyptian authorities to refrain from any violence against peaceful protesters. The people of Egypt have rights that are universal. That includes the right to peaceful assembly and association, the right to free speech, and the ability to determine their own destiny. These are human rights. And the United States will stand up for them everywhere.

I was under the impression that they were campus police not real police, and that they had been instructed by the University President not to arrest anybody.

To me it looks like they were going a little beyond their lawful duty.
