Ah yes, the support of Police brutality against American citizens continues to come from the Rightwing hatemongers like Pussy-Brian. Meanwhile, like the article that Wondy posted proves without a doubt, the corporate-controlled Police are being told to physically abuse and attack their own citizens. Any spin otherwise just shows a base level of ignorance and a willingness to justify immoral practices to serve a greedy few.
Oh and Doc? There's your Weaponized Tear Gas...
The sympathetic pro-OWS mayor finally had to respond because of multiple complaints, and emergency medical service couldn't get through the chaos to treat people who called for an ambulance. The city told the OWS protestors to leave, and posted an order well in advance. All but about 200 protestors left.
The rest were non-violently forced to leave --as they were warned in advance to-- with non-lethal tear gas. And the "peaceful" demonstrators instead of leaving re-grouped to attack the police! At which point they were rightly arrested.
No ambushes, no police brutality, clear warning given, and not heeded by the small group of protestors who pushed it too far. Against a mayor who was clearly sympathetic to them, no less.
