(62,325 posts)Sure, it 'makes sense' to beat and hospitalize people for daring to peacefully protest.
'Keep an eye on them'. Lol, how about aiming militarized weapons at them AND firing them?

They sure shut him up, he lost his voice. Couldn't speak even if he wanted to. He survived Iraq and all those 'terrorists' we went there to kill, oh wait, they weren't in Iraq, they were in Saudi Arabia. Poor guy actually believed he had been 'fighting for our freedoms'.
So THAT is what LE is for?? Well thank you for letting us know, to beat up and nearly kill citizens who thought they had some rights in this country. Including Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans who were told they were 'fighting for our freedoms'.
And then there was three tour Iraq/Afghanistan war veteran, Kayvan Sabehgi
Yeah, listen to those brave chanting LE officers, courageously beating a War Veteran until they ruptured his spleen and then denied him any medical care for 18 hours. Any of them held accountable yet??
I can post images all day if you like, of old ladies, college students, young women even elected officials and journalists, who had LE keeping an eye on them. But no Tea Baggers.
Let me know when we see Tea Baggers beaten to a pulp because LE is 'keeping on an eye on them'. Not that I would support that, I would object as strongly to them or anyone else being treated the way OWS was.
I'm wondering why you didn't see the difference in the treatment. Were you not following the news or something? I searched for info on even one armed Tea Bagger being badly treated by LE and so far haven't found one.
