I have a hard time believing that that driver would have escaped prosecution if he had hit anybody other than an OWS protester. That was a blatant hit and run. The guy didn't even stop after he plowed through him.

How is that legal again? Fuck the piece of shit domestic terrorist police. They'll go out of their way to make life miserable for protesters but let a dangerous felon go free.
