8. You must not have been keeping up with OWS. They are the most diverse movement they could possibly

be. There are even specific groups for minorities, such as 'Occupy the Hood' eg, so I don't know where you are getting that it is only middle class white kids. So no, I do not think it is about race. It is about the NYPD which is and always has been a brutal corrupt department, currently keep up with tradition, involved in several scandals having nothing to do with OWS.

They are scum and have been behaving this way as long as I can remember. All that is happening now is their brutality has been caught on video and shown to the whole world. There definitely is and always has been a race problem in the NYPD. And minorities have always been specifically targeted by them, partly because they are often poor and have no means of fighting back.

They are simply a brutal, criminal gang of thugs who get their kicks beating people up because they are weak, cowards who if they ever had to face someone without their weapons and without a dozen of them against one young girl, would run like the cowards they are.

Edited to add, many of them are Rush Limbaugh and Fox Fans and the chance to finally beat up what they have been told are 'liberals' is another reason they are thrilled with the opportunity. I hope many of them end up in jail before this is all over, and the much needed reform of that department will eventually take place because now the whole world is getting see what only NY's homeless and poor got to see until now.
