Well ok then, the police are meant to protect the people, but the vid clearly shows they're simply protecting theirselves by just cleaning up a peaceful protest with clear aggression, oh and yes I can shout just about anything to a cop, with exception to racism nice reminder there, don't know why the world is so sensitive to race because we're all human, but we'll save that topic for a rainy day.

A pig as a pet? Sounds cool lol

There are always multiple sides to each story. Additionally, there are multiple angles of video to justify proper/improper use of force. You simply cannot say what was right and wrong based off of a Youtube video. Nobody knows if someone made a threat, or if they were crossing over a line that police were trying to organize/protect. While protesting / exercising freedom of speech is allow; obstruction of traffic is NOT allowed. You shouldn't have to be told 50 times to move a certain direction without facing consequences.

Considering that the footage starts with arrests I can't see where you get the idea that the protesters being arrested were being peaceful.

The fact that they're targetting specific protestors seem to indicate the exact opposite.  I mean shit, some of it even (unintentionally i'm sure) catches the protestors singaled out starting the violence.

I don't see at all where your getting that.  They are very specifically NOT cleaning up or breaking up the protetst, but instead only taking out those that are either attacking the police or damaging property in some way...

which is VERY important, and if you don't understand why... see the recent London Riots, where peaceful protests about tution rates lead to huge age property damage and the burning of shit due to the inability to take out the trouble makers before they started trouble.

So.

Protect the people who are protesting, who have the time to go out and protest? Or protect the people who desperately need to go to work, to get their paycheck, to feed their children? I don't know about you, but after they dispersed the intersection, I saw a taxi, a truck, and a vehicle or two starting to go through right at the end of the video. I'm sure that truck was carrying something, and for the taxi, well, time is money.

A few cops may have gone a bit overboard, but they're only human. They can't perfectly wrestle down a 150 pound man without giving him a bruise or two, but they need to do that, they're trained to do that.

If they had simply taken up sidewalks, letting people walk through and not blocking entrances to any stores or causing unrest, then I doubt the cops would have had do to anything, except just to show up to make sure things didn't go south.

The cops may have been a bit out of line at some points, but it was for a good reason, definitely.

Do you not have any verbal abused laws in the US?

I did a law/rights class as a humanities elective when I studies in the states... and I do recall the case of a town councilman jumping over the table and punching a civilian.... the courts found he was justified in doing so, the other guy was verbaly abusing him. (If you provoque voluntarely the reaction, you're the guilty one).

Hahaha, zap em' than wack em'. Cops were just doing thier job. You cant just push them around in circles and cross the line on which they are obvously standing .Thats what you get for messing with the bankers. Anyway, the police in NY cant hold a handle on brutality compared to serbian police in my country

You guys point out some valid reasons on both accounts, good stuff, although it still frustrates me how the cops were extremely aggressive.
