Pfft, the USA needs Interior Troops, proclaims Rolf.

This thread is so legitimate and so fucking retarded at the same time that I can't quite come up with a proper response.

You don't need permission to video tape people in public asshat. Don't pretend you need to you fascist sympathizer.

I would have shot back. With real bullets.

In all honesty, it was the dudes fault. He shouldn't have been standing in the public like that.

It really was his fault. He shouldn't have been not breaking the law and acting non-aggressive towards anyone, or not putting anyone in harms way.

i guess the riot police man didnt want him filming them so they couldnt be shown to be brutal. i think someone should buy him thinking lessons

I got'cha thinking lessons right here, pig.

[Bender]

That's why I don't shoot cops with film, I shoot them with a high powered rifle in the watchtower 500 meters away.

[Eskorbuto]

Ok I hate the fucking Occupy movement - But I hate abusive policemen even worse.

What the fuck was the justification for that!?!?!

[Tachosomoza]

There wasn't any. Pigs are sadistic fucks, that's why they became pigs in the first place.

fucking ditto.

Wait... wasn't this man among protesters that refused to disperse from the most violent protests yet, long after it was over and taken care of, in the close vicinity of Occupiers taunting (and who knows what else) the police who were idly holding a perimeter?

Absolutely not.

No, that is exactly what it was. What is the delusion, it is stated in his own damned video that he was there after midnight on Nov. 3 after the General Strike. I know you're a cunt that immediately attacks anything you disagree with, but I am amicably asking you to explain this.

A peaceful man has the right to walk the streets without being fired upon by heavyhanded sacks of shit dressed like ninja turtles.

And if that peaceful man is mingling with rioters that refuse to disperse after shit went down, and who are taunting idle officers, he might get tagged with a non-lethal round the police were authorized to use.

There was no riot. Getting a few bottles hurled your way is different than a wild mob looting stores and setting buildings afire.

Riot was an exaggeration, yes, but this was the most violent protest yet, and even involved an attempted takeover of abandon buildings. And are you saying that bottles being thrown is not justification for using non-lethal rounds to dissuade these people?

You aren't talking about the same thing and at a different time.

Yes, I am. Also, keep in mind that non lethal devices can brutally maim or kill people if that ammo hits the wrong spot.

I'd be using something a little more substantial than a sidearm. And how will they drop me if they have no idea where the bullets are coming from? An urban area provides many excellent vantage points for a sniper, notes Parallax.

No, I am not. The man's video clearly states the time this happened and a relative location.

While filming a police line at Occupy Oakland after midnight on Nov. 3 following the Nov. 2 general strike

Please correct me if I am wrong, with some sort of evidence. I have no agenda and would honestly like to be corrected if I am mistaken.

And bottles can cause irreversible damage in a number of ways. I don't know why I asked you though, but I'm glad you haven't pulled the race card yet.

I only discuss race when some troglodyte brings it up first. And if you think that a pig wearing many layers of protection is at risk from a bottle or stone, you have issues.

And if you think that gives citizens right to throw projectiles at them with no retaliation, I don't see this conversation going anywhere. If I chucked a 40 at a traffic cop, I'd do time.

Did I say that protesters should hurl projectiles? No.

You implied it was fine for them to do without police intervention a la non-lethal rounds. Would you prefer a mad police rush into the mob to apprehend each person throwing things?

Yeah but your argument is completely fucking invalid based on the premise that there was no bottles being thrown at the cops in this video so they weren't in any immediate danger.

I didn't even bring bottles up. I said the guy was milling around after the most violent protests yet with insubordinates that refused to leave the premise and were taunting cops. 100+ people were already arrested peacefully at the time for the same thing , they were beyond that.

[BoneThugJones]

I'm just saying it doesn't appear that this guy or anyone around him (Which there appears to be no one) is causing these heavily armored men any danger. It looks like they just shot at him for the hell of it. If there was fucking bottles being chucked over this dudes head I'd say ok you know what maybe he deserved it but hes doing nothing wrong.

[The Pat-Man]

How would you feel if a hipster was filming you and all you could do was stand there? I'd shoot a bitch.

It is still better to be in Armed Forces than to be whiny idiot who chose "thespian" as profession only to spend time and money to study said profession only to find out job is useless and therefore cry like little baby without fucking pacifier, proclaims Rolf.

Less-lethal. People have died from rubber bullets.

Did the police attain the consent of the cameraman to shoot at him with bullets and a gun, a gun and bullet partially owned by the cameraman, ostensibly for his own protection, in his capacity as a citizen of the state?

Perhaps they cut the start of the video out where he gives consent to that?

[-SpectraL]

Shooting a citizen who is exercising his constitutional right to peaceful assembly is not only an insult against all those who fought and died for liberty, it's a crime punishable by imprisonment. And that's why all these corporate-backed goons hiding behind badges will soon meet their untimely demise at the hands of the very people they seek to oppress into slavery. Just a matter of time now. I hope they've practiced getting out of a uniform really fast, because they're gonna need it.
