You can call this movement whatever name your creative mind comes up with and it will make it no less real. These people are here to stay and your snide remarks and the deplorable actions of this "peace officer" will only strengthen its resolve. You can hang up trying to discourage this bunch and start considering instead how to factor them into your world.
You have good cop friends congratulations. Well maybe your good cop friends would like to pay this officer a visit as well as the many good cops out there and remind this thug - this is not how we conduct business. This event in Oakland is especially egregious but its not some isolated incident. There are a catalog of lesser, similar and worse cases of police brutality to be found at ones fingertips and this trend is causing a deep rift between the good cops out there and the people they swore to protect, the jackbooted thugs could care less they live for this crap but the good cops are getting caught up in the middle of this and they need to act now.
Complacency is complicity. When the smoke finally settles a lot of hard questions are going to be asked and a lot of people are going to be held to account for what was done and what was not done to avert it.
How far are you willing to take this thing? I suggest we concentrate our efforts far less on being Law Enforcement Officers and put a great deal more into being Peace Officers.
Law Enforcement is Law Enforcement. If the "occupiers" violate the law, then those charged with enforcing it have a public obligation to arrest the violators. You are familiar with "law?" it's that thing that keeps us from being savages and running around crapping on police cars.
When an officer tells you to "step back" you step back. If you don't like the way the officer behaves, you pursue the correct legal channels, you don't show your a## and get arrested: you cannot gain from that.
And my creative mind calls this movement: "crap"
So there you go, hippie.

Really simple: You do NOT have the right to "occupy"
Period.
"occupy" carries with it an overt aggressive connotation. not part of our constitution. Compare/Contrast the Tea Party rallies, where the Tea Party said what they came to say, cleaned up after themselves, were respectful, non-violoent.
The same can't be said about these idiots at Occupy Stupid.

ALL OWS is de facto a gross violation of the law.

Then the Constitution must be a gross violation of the law as well, according to your logic.

I hope he is (assuming this is the correct officer of course) suspended for a month or two without pay and retrained on the force continuum. I think it's possible that he just made a mistake, but more probable that the head shot was intentional.

Otherwise, all we have here is simple Mob rule and some group online singling out random people with no real facts.
