1. What a f***ing pig ...

and all the others around who do nothing to help the victim

[dana_b]

2. he not only ran over the guy's leg, he contined

to pull forward and then parked his motorcycle on top of the guy!! Mother f***er!!!

[Enthusiast]

3. Was the guy seriously injured?

Those cop scooters are quite heavy, even a Suzuki 650 Bergman scooter is like 600+ pounds.

[Quixote1818]

23. I read a report that they thought his leg was broken

Also you can see blood on the pavement on the video I posted below that was on Keith Olberman's show. Not sure if the blood was from being run over or from being beaten by police.

4. i'm afraid to watch

is the guy okay??????

[Plucketeer]

5. People tryin' to get to the guy to help him

and the cops are worried about someone touching their precious scooter. I sure hope that in the end, there's LOTS of suspensions and demotions in the NYPD.

7. Method in the Madness?

Considering the gravity of the situation for elites, and the number of white shirts engaging in the brutality, I find it hard to believe that the cops are not being TOLD to go buck wild. The more sadistic bastards amongst them are happily obliging. The goal must be to (a) intimidate others from joining the protest and (b) encourage the protesters to respond in kind, thereby providing a pretext for a full scale crackdown.

[Enthusiast]

9. Now would be a great opportunity for

for one of the rank and file NYPD officers to cross the thin blue line by recording everything said and done by the white shirts. They might at least get a book deal down the line.

6. The guy that was run over is an observer from the Legal Aid Society.

This should get very interesting.

8. Where did you get that info from?

With all the photos being taken was this in any news reports?

14. Here's one:

There are others as well.

12. Oops they picked the wrong man to do this to. Well NYCPD you

just got your first lawsuit in this demonstration - do you have the rethug convention fines paid yet? Unfortunately it is the taxpayers in the 99% who actually end up paying for this.

[songbookz]

15. Not the 1st

There's already been a class action suit filed for the kettling incident where they arrested 700 people - the last time another city used kettling, they ended up paying out 13.7 million. Before it's over, over-time expenses are going to be the cheapest part of Bloomberg's problems.

[jwirr]

16. Especially if every one of these protesters start to ask for jury trials

and tie up the system. He is going to tear his own city down.

[Quixote1818]

22. In another video of this there is a puddle of blood there after he is picked up

The man had to go to the hospital for treatment. You can see the blood at the 4:21 mark of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqhJ8X8tF70

[Dont call me Shirley]

10. The fucking asshole parked the rear tire of his bike on the guy's leg!

SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME SHAME

11. 12 out of 18 "reactions" on YouTube think this is funny

click on the link and go to the youtube page and see the reactions next to the post comments box

12 out of 18 think it's "funny" as of the time of this posting

13. As I gaze into my crystal ball, I see a lawsuit and a sizable damages award.

Looks like the police officer intentionally and knowingly parked his motorbike on his victim's leg. Pretty ugly, and my guess is that it will even uglier for that officer.

What a stupid thing for that police officer to do.

The officer was not in danger. Why was he using excessive force? That is inexcusable.

[Crowman1979]

17. Your homeland security dollars at work.

That's another thing we need to cut, along with defense.

[Hissyspit]

18. Still in jail per OWS Legal assistance folks. nt

[midnight]

20. Hissy is the guy who had his leg run over in jail? Thanks...

[Hissyspit]

24. That's what his lawyer on Olbermann said tonight. She said she had not been allowed to talk to him.

[dotymed]

19. The United nations needs to get involved.

I know that America funds most the U.N., but it might give us international legitimacy and force this brutality to lessen. TPTB do not want to reveal themselves, with U.N, involvement they may have to, this fascism has to stop.

[The Vrude]

21. The police aggression is so out of hand

and the politicians are largely out of touch!
