Basically every single article i've read on brutality has basically been proven false by bothering to check another news sites articles.

So i'm extremely wary of any claims of brutality.

Hope you're not reference checking with Fox.

Here, check this out, this is raw unedited footage from one of the protests. The truth is right in front of you.

No largely CNN and BBC.

As for that video, uh it's not raw unedited footage.  It's been edited, you'll notice that it starts well into the police aprhending her and doesn't mention WHY she was being arrested.

Funny accusations though coming from soemone being force fed strategically edited videos youtube videos.

It's basic viral campaigning.

Provoke the shit out of the cops and then when they need to use force to do their jobs, only show that part and ignore everything leading up to it.

It's literally one of the oldest propaganda tricks in the world.   Which is why when you bother to read third party accounts of the events not tied to people directly into the movement, you see why more often then not force was justified.

 

For example the guy who got punched by a cop... nobody from the occupy movement bothers to mention that the guy tried to elbow the cop in the face first, the cop got knocked down and then sprayed with liquid that could be anything from water to a dangerous chemical compound...

THEN he punched the guy after he lunged toward him... yet all you see is the punch for some reason? 

Yeah, that's not edited footage at all.

 

For every one legitamite case there are something like 30 manufactured cases... that goes for any protest.

Did you even watch the video? It starts off earlier than that, with protestors being arrested, and its continuous footage from there on, which means unedited. How about the guy being thrown headfirst into the parked car? I'm sure he was doing a lot of harm with 2 hands on a camera that deserved being flipped over into a car. And what about other footage of a girl standing , corralled, and being pepper sprayed in the face? She was just standing there, and even if she was egging the cops on verbally, pepper spray is NOT the proper reaction.

A lot of these police are acting WAY out of line, there is no arguing that. I'm not being force fed anything, I've seen a good deal of the brutality LIVE in person. For someone talking about the other side of the story, you are pretty uninformed of BOTH sides. But, such is the way of our society these days, which is why the world's turned to sh*t.
