(38,893 posts)1. It's sarcasm.
2. It's factual.
3. It's important.
4. If you don't share this fact-based stance (not opinion), you may wish to consider the facts I've presented here. I can tell you that when you stand up for your 1st Amendment rights, you stand an extremely good chance of being beaten and arrested. That's not fine with me and I'd hope it's not fine with anyone else. That's a little thing I have about freedom and the Constitution. If anyone feels guilty for not standing up and risking being arrested and beaten for the betterment of the country, that is easily changed.
5. All are welcome to not share these facts and concerns. But do not then complain when then eventually involve you.
6. Posting facts is not an attack.
7. I do not believe we are supposed to post personalized responses on DU.
8. Cop apologists, in the face of what is real and actual, are attacking ME and those who are working for the betterment of the country along clear lines. This is bizarre beyond perception. If people hate Occupy, put it on ignore. But fighting against it? Occupy is a democratic engine. Hating it, working against it, is...
9. My weltanschauung consists of peace and justice and accountability. This is not how the world is and I will work to change that. THAT is what I will Change. One would suppose support in such endeavors but you never know.
10. I've voted Democratic all my life and now Democratic mayors are the ones who've unleashed some of the worst violence upon Occupy. Occupy occurred because politicians refused to solve certain enormous problems. Then they directly attacked us and continue to do so. Vote all of them the hell out of power. They definitely should not be allowed it. If there's no one running against them, pressure the hell out of them until they DO change their policy against the Bill of Rights and our fellow citizens.
10.5. That anyone could see all this and side with cops against the Bill of Rights and Wall Street is beyond me. That anyone could dislike Occupy is beyond me.
11. There is something terribly wrong in this country. -V
BTW, five of the above videos aren't even Occupy-related.

Silly humans thinking the cops have time to investigate murders when protestors are holding beat me signs.
