Video Shows NYPD Brutally Beating a Teabagger... [View all]

Sorry no video. It never happened. Why did it never happen??

Does it have something about the cops defending the 1%'ers, the Koch brothers, and the incestuous relationship between Dick Armey's army of Dicks and the Koch Brothers???

Feel free to add your thoughts.

Cops enforce the law, and the law Confusious Feb 2012 #1

But it DOES NOT keep the left and right equally from waving guns at the President saras Feb 2012 #2

You missed the point. Confusious Feb 2012 #3

When and where did the left wave a gun at the president, do you have a link for that? Raine Feb 2012 #18

That's my point - they don't. Not because none of them wants to, but because of the consequences saras Feb 2012 #29

I don't think the Tea baggers broke the law during their protests. nt ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #4

I only saw one video of a beating, and I don't think that was a Tea Bagger rally. nt ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #6

You missed all the Town Hall meetings then, I guess. sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #10

What laws were broken during the Town Hall meetings? nt ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #12

What laws have the over 6,000 OWS protesters who have been arrested and brutalized broken? sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #13

I believe the claims were trespassing, protesting without a permit, and obstructing traffic. ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #14

No, in fact most of them were released without charges, or minor misdemeanor tickets. They sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #15

I see you are not really interested in the question of the OP. ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #16

You didn't answer the question. What crime did those two Iraq Veterans commit that caused sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #17

If you were really interested in getting at the truth, ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #21

So if the police see a teabagger spitting on a US Congressman, they have to wait sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #22

Did the police see the spitting? Do you have a video or news article? nt ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #23

Well, if they were there, as they are always present at OWS events, I imagine they did see it. sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #24

I watched a video of the spit, and the spit came out while the man was yelling, "kill the bill!" ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #25

Well, it certainly is closer to an assault on a US Congressman than walking home sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #26

I don't know the details of the guy walking home, but if he was around ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #27

The brutality is only normal against protesters from OWS. It is not even an issue sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #28

This isn't breaking the law??? HughBeaumont Feb 2012 #7

That is not the Tea Baggers. That is a different group. nt ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #8

Are you serious?? You don't remember a US Congressman being spat on eg? You don't sabrina 1 Feb 2012 #9

I do remember the head stomping, but I don't remember it being at a Tea Bagger rally. ZombieHorde Feb 2012 #11
