Let's not make this about us vs the cops. Of course there are times when a cop steps over the line and that should be dealt with by the law. Let's not forget though that it is the cops job to protect and uphold the law. With these protests we do not have the right to break the law, whether we agree with all laws or not. If we don't like a law then we need to take action (legally) to change that law. That is part of what all of this is about, isn't it? The majority of those cops would jump into a riot to save someone's life or step in front of a bullet to protect a person that just called them a pig. The cops are not our enemy.
And a pretty large chunk of those cops are 'bought' and don't give two #s about the protesters.

No, I'm not delusional at all. I actually support OWS. A lot of those cops are friendly but they do have a job to do and people have gone over the line as have some cops. Here's a main point for you though. Make it about us vs cops and you take away from the messages that the movement is supposed to be getting out there.
You make it sound like most of them have souls like normal human beings.

At no time did I advocate violence. Peaceful, non-violent demonstration is the only thing I endorse. Leave the violence to the cops, they're doing such a good job with use using brute force already. Every time they are abusive, it only strengthens the case of the protesters. I wonder how they sleep at night. Those are their fellow citizens, after all.

You're being divisive when we need unity.
