Chicago Cops: “We’ll come look for you, each and every one of you.”

[WillyT]

One officer can be heard in the video saying, “We’ll come look for you, each and every one of you.” And, the police also say the now infamous lines among occupiers:

CPD Officer 1: “You like that, he knows these guys know, ’68. You guys know all about ’68. What did they say back in ’68?”

CPD Officer 2: “Billy club to the fucking skull.”

1. Break all law enforcement unions.

They have the power of the state. They do not need a union.

This is a serious comment.

[2pooped2pop]

2. they should be able to be sued for that comment

that's the same as a threat.

[virgogal]

3. It appears that he was repeating what was said in '68. I doubt

that would be considered a threat.

[HereSince1628]

7. If the context is completely ignored the phrases

are completely harmless.

And I'd bet my worthless life on the fact that Chicago judges would rule context as inadmissible.

[AnotherMcIntosh]

13. You have that much confidence in the judges? Do you know what they call an honest judge in Chicago?

[socialist_n_TN]

18. One that when you buy him/her............

They stay bought?

[AnotherMcIntosh]

26. The answer, shared among some at the Chicago Bar Association, is "A tourist."

[socialist_n_TN]

28. Well I took a shot........

A tourist. That one's pretty good too.

ALL of the staging is falling apart in this bourgeoisie "democracy" now that there's an actual CHALLENGE to the system. I expect it to get worse (maybe MUCH worse) before it gets better.

[AnotherMcIntosh]

30. I think that you're right.

[lonestarnot]

4. I don't know if the union would identify with the cop's bullshit knowledge of '68. I'm not into

union busting. Those two need a look by the state/city as their employer for comments unbecoming.

[TBF]

5. Oh for god's sake -

you take that and decide that breaking the union is the way to handle it? Whatever happened to your "personal responsibility" meme?

[provis99]

33. unions take away personal responsibility.

the union goes to the mat for any Chicago thug cop, no matter what they did.

[Dawson Leery]

36. Police unions also lobby for the drug war,

tougher sentencing laws(for all crimes including minor one), and making more activities illegal. Police unions are lobbying for more business for their members at the expense of society at large.
That is unacceptable and I WILL OPPOSE any organization that gives business to people by locking others in jail for petty offenses.

[Scuba]

9. Not a union problem.

[Union Scribe]

22. They're just fucking gangs calling themselves unions.

I'd have more respect for a union of pickpockets.

[Comrade_McKenzie]

32. Yes, please. Law enforcement in this country needs to be severely neutered.

Unions are for civilized people trying to make a living, not barbarians with billy clubs, heart-attacking tazers, and condiment sprays getting off on beating down actual human beings.

[Zalatix]

6. Police unions are different from most unions.

In fact they will, aside from the ones in Wisconsin, cheerfully put down other labor unions when told to do so.

[WillyT]

8. Great Point !!!

[HereSince1628]

11. You don't know somethings about Milwaukee safety unions.

you should probably search a news archive regarding the politics of the fight against Milwaukee employee residence rules.

[Dawson Leery]

12. Also, police unions exist to defend their

members, regardless of the charge.

10. Big Bad Ass Bullies

My nephew always wanted to be a cop, ever since he was a kid. "to help people".
It didn't take long for him to turn into a racist, jerk, bully.

When I was at Occupy Denver, I stopped to talk to a couple of cops in their cars, chewing tobacco - calling the protestors, shit bags, scumbags, rapists, etc.

I did tell the cop with the wad of tobacco in his mouth, I hoped he was still employed with govt. provided health care, so he can receive treatment when he has mouth cancer. The guy has like 3 kids - I told him, his cancer could end up bankrupting his family if things don't change.

[frylock]

14. fuck tha police

[Union Scribe]

23. Comin' straight from the Undgerground!

Get it, 'cause we're on...DU...and the U...

[Zax2me]

15. Who the hell is running things in Chicago?

I mean, really.
Someone has to stop the insanity.

[Odin2005]

17. Rahmbo, the DLC felator of the 1%

[Xedniw]

29. Rahm.

Remember him?

[AnotherMcIntosh]

31. Rahm-where-else-can-they-go-Emanuel? Yes. Some us still remember him.

16. Oink! Oink! Oink!

[UnrepentantLiberal]

19. I predict that this won't end well.

[ananda]

20. Say millions of occupiers,

bring it on!

[hifiguy]

21. It is abundantly clear that the pseudo-military thugs called cops

are an occupying army in this country. The First Amendment's guarantees of peaceable assembly and free speech are no longer worth the paper they are written on.

[Rex]

24. This is what happens when you let an unelected thug

rule America for 8 years. Doncha remember? 9/11 'changed everything'. Including our rights as citizens.

[sendero]

35. And Obama's done SO MUCH...

. to change that.

[Fire Walk With Me]

25. When you've marched with Occupy you'll know that the vast majority of cops are exactly like this.

Those who are not, it is your job to call them all out.

[WillyT]

27. Kick !!!

[socialist_n_TN]

34. "We'll come look for you. Each and every one of you"...........

And all of a sudden, these guys are arrested for "terrorism". Yeah, that's not retaliation.
