American police: To serve and protect (the 1%)

The ongoing anti-greed Occupy protests have seen too many instances of police using brutal tactics against demonstrators. Some says the US is militarizing its police force and squashing the very freedoms it is so keen to preach internationally.

O! say can you see by the dawn's early light,What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Americans and their excessive wealth --- Kill to get it --- Kill to keep it

DARKNESS
Wacther
“RT is doing... Propaganda .. cutting video of the protesters
tearing down the fences, refusing to disperse, throwing things
at the police and rushing them, before the tear gas was tossed at them.
“Lets not forget that OWS had tried to occupy buildings
that did not belong to them as well .. it is called stealing.”

LIGHT
If RT News were to interview above poster, how would he respond if asked, “The 1.5 million war widows in Iraq suffering poverty, whose fault is it? For when a man has no conscience and is immune to guilt, anger hath no equal when you endanger his excessive wealth.

For Wacther has a god-ego, he being of the 51% most educated and wealthy in America, the 51% voting majority that has all the wealth in America, they who by their imperialism most brutal have plundered half the wealth on mother earth for ungodly America.

Pain compliance --- State of the art in slave control

The cutting edge in technology as it applies to getting away with inflicting upon the public the maximum amount of fear, terror and deadly force. For USA has never been anything more then a police state for the lower half of society, what with democracy by the 51% most wealthy and greedy --- a crime against humanity.

Not 1% greedy --- A full 51% greedy

ROOT CAUSE
Democracy is upper class slavery, by and for the 51% most educated and wealthy.

LOGIC
There can be no secular solution to a criminal government,
until after there is a moral solution to an immoral society.

MORAL DEMOCRACY
The 25% most wealthy must NOT be allowed to vote or have any involvement in politics. As this would give the impoverished lower half of society 50% of the vote, half the control, and prevent the 51% most wealthy from having a monopoly on government. Also it would stop the rich ruling class from hoarding 80% of the wealth.

The moment the internet was found wise thinkers predicted will soon spark global worldwide uprisings and revolution. Explains why they now quietly came up with those new “regulations” ACTA, PIPA, SOPA, in order restrict the freedom of speech. The Chinese must be laughing their guts out at the western governments exposing them into their media what fools they are.

Madame Clinton, you are so much concerned for the “inspirations of the Russian ppl” and just about the entire world not yet under your thumb, and perhaps is why kept busy on that particular job creating “colour revolutions” all around have not enough time to see “the inspirations of the American ppl.”

Well, seeing as how the guy's actions is actually illegal and may cause harm for other protesters, I can definitly understand why he must be removed from the area. I have no idea how long he has been going around tearing the fliers off, but I'll bet it was a lot longer than this video shows us. However, the methods used by the police are exactly as unjust as his actions are illegal.

Stun gun??  Oh, my God, the world is coming to an end.

These street vagrants want to ratchet up the violence so that RT would again pay attention to them.  They got what they deserved.

Did the American police really use "stun guns"?  Oh, my God how horrible.  Anyone kill? 

How do Russians behave towards peaceful demonstrators? Here is an example:

The Russian troops killed 13 and injured hundreds of Lithuanians (men, women and children) who were peacefully protesting Soviet rule around the Vilnius TV tower.  Some of the protestors, including a child, were run over by Russian tanks driven into the line of protestors by the glorious drunken soldiers of the Red Army.

Ask the Chechen people about Russian treatment of peaceful protestors - the Russians shot them down with machine guns in Grozny.

So, please RT, don't cry too many tears over some American street vagrants who were at the receiving end of a stun gun because of their violence.

These street vagrants sure love to shout and spit when confronted by the police.  A "spit revolution"???

This unkept vermin should thank God that he is loitering around in the USA, and not on Red Square in Moscow.  Had this guy been screaming and resisting arrest in Moscow, he would have had his lower jaw driven back into his throat. 

Lucky guy.
