October 5th, around 8:45 PM. Cops beating up and pepper spraying people at the occupy wall street protest. THIS IS WHAT A POLICE STATE LOOKS LIKE.

1. And so it starts again...

Is this Mayer Bloomberg's answer to this protest? DO the Cops really feel it necessary to bring violence to a non violent protest? Why do the guys in white shirts insist that the only way to deal with this situation is to beat heads and fire pepper spray? I seriously hope, the wind blows back in their direction, in more ways then just one.

2. Frightening and disgusting

We need some guys in "White Hats" to come in on the White Shirts.

4. No. "and then they fight you, and then you..."

Let them corrupt NYPD self-defeat...

17. They are showing remarkable restraint. It's commendable.

Not sure I could control my impulses as well. Who knows.

5. This should settle the facts

that most of those who wear a uniform exist to protect the powerful. It has always been that way.

8. yep. wouldn't be surprised if their getting bonuses or fatter checks to "deal" with it.

especially, the thugs in white.

11. I think it's more that this is their way to feel powerful.

I really don't believe they are protecting anyone, just that they may be struggling just like all of us and they use this as an avenue to get out their frustrations and make themselves feel in control of something.

18. Hear hear, Dawson!

As old Bill once wrote, " 'twas ever thus. " :(

Hope I got that right.
