However, someone who wouldn't have the guts to attack the cop directly might well go for a wife and/or kids.
I hope this doesn't end badly for the family of this Cop. If it does....Anonymous will have crossed a line with me and millions more like me. You don't put a bulls eye on the FAMILY of the person you want to target for something. That may sound old fashioned to some, and to be totally honest here, I grew up as the son of a Cop so my view is hardly without bias...but some lines have been respected by even the worst of organized crime. Why can't Anonymous show some class too? Oh well...

Daddy will probably give them a couple extra thousand this month to make up for it.
There is a reason police have to keep protesters in a designated area. It's to keep all those people who actually have jobs to go to from getting beat/stomped etc. If you can't follow the simple rules and get a little boo boo don't cry to me about it.
Pretend this was happening outside of your place of work and then tell me you wouldn't want the police keeping protesters from turning violent and destroying property. You guys are so ready to be 'anti establishment' that you lose common sense. Seriously you let these protesters go and do whatever they please you're going to end up with a ton of people getting hurt and property destruction.
I had to watch that again. Makes me laugh uncontrollably. The one screaming like she's MELTIIIIIIIINNNGGGGGGG! I've been maced a few times (most were unintentional; me in the wrong spot) and while it hurts its not NEARLY as bad as that girl makes it out to be.edit on 26-9-2011 by Domo1 because: (no reason given)
Did you watch the video? they were doing nothing wrong or illegal or interfering with traffic. And besides have you EVER been to manhattan, times square is WAY more crowded and pushy than this protest. Noone gets maced there.

Maybe, but it's a hell of a lot more than 99% of the population does.
Unless oyu count talking big on the internet as something constructive.

While I am completely against your stupid assessment

Protesting is a right but not when you interfere with someone else's rights.

So it is a right as long as you do it quietly and to and by yourself?
Thank god no rights were trampled in the revolutionary war.

I think you confused 'accurate' with 'stupid'. They were not moving. Notice how the rest of the crowd dispersed or was moving before the cop deployed mace? They were not following commands. You guys would freak out if the cops touched them/arrested them. You freak out when someone gets tased. You freak out if someone gets maced. Lets just have all the cops go home and leave these people to their own devices. Great idea. Other people have babies to feed and homes to go to. Protesting is a right but not when you interfere with someone else's rights.

I'm all for protesting. I think it's a fundamental right. I don't believe that someone protesting should interfere with other people's rights.edit on 26-9-2011 by Domo1 because: (no reason given)

Be as loud as you want. Why should anyone have to protest by themselves? Not my point at all.

Because comparing the Revolutionary WAR to a bunch of fat neck beards and hippy chicks wearing Guy Fawkes masks makes all the sense in the World.
1. It didn't look like anyone was getting beat/stomped to me in that video.
2. Mace is a little more than a boo hoo.
3. No body cried to you about it.
4. It didn't look like the, "bored young women fresh out of community college who put on some stupid outfits" were turning to violent in my opinion.
5. "Seriously you let these protesters go and do whatever they please you're going to end up with a ton of people getting hurt and property destruction. " -SERIOUSLY YOU LET THESE BANKSTERS AND COPS GO AND DO WHATEVER THEY PLEASE THEN YOURE GOING TO END UP WITH A TON OF PEOPLE GETTING HURT AND THE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. OHHHH WAIT THATS ALREADY HAPPENED.... THAT'S WHY WE PROTEST.
6. Makes you laugh uncontrollably? Congratulations, you have a higher tolerance for pain than a woman.
7. You're pathetic for even giving your two cents about women who went through a some what traumatic experience.
8. Please stop posting.
They weren't following commands because they were blocked in by cops and orange fence. Or is that not an accurate assesment.
I'd give my right arm for you to get touched, then maced, and tazed all in the same instance.
