1. here's the original

2. Oakland police officer caught on film moments before carrying away cat by its face.

[hedgehog]

The Washington Post stated that the cat had been abandoned

by protesters. My guess is that it's a street cat attracted by all the food left behind after the police riot broke up the encampment. I doubt anyone brought a cat tothe demonstration, and I really doubt any cat would hang around once all the commotion started!

16. It has a little rope collar on ...

So perhaps someone did bring her/him. I hope the kitty's not still on the street. :(

(Before I get flamed having concern for kitties and having concern for the protesters or the homeless are not mutually exclusive.)

3. He's checking for weapons.

11. It's a woman. Note the hair.

4. I'm going with maybe not all Oakland cops are assholes.

Maybe this cop can identify the cop who shot Scott Olsen in the head with a tear gas canister. That would be the right thing to do.

5. That might be the cop that shot the canister. nt

[Supply Side Jesus]

6. probably not

8. Mathematically speaking, you are correct. The odds are 1:X.

X = the number of other cops there that night.

9. Agreed, he is not Sheriffs Deputy

[kestrel91316]

13. It's a female cop - note the hair.

[stevedeshazer]

7. Perhaps it is a multiple-level chess game.

Which would be really cool, because the cop would be identifying himself.

Which might just tear a hole in the fabric of the universe.

Which would explain why all this shit is happening.

Hell, I dunno.

[kestrel91316]

12. Unlikely. THIS is a woman. Note the hair.

[ZombieHorde]

14. Do we know the cop who shot the canister was a man? nt

[kestrel91316]

17. Either a man, or the tallest woman on the force.

[Scuba]

10. +1

15. Convinced of a few things...

1) Purring will help heal everything...

2) People will realize in the end that most cops are as confused in this movement as the military was in Iraq.

3) Pretty soon we'll see many police who stand up to their ultimate oath, the US Constitution.

4) Quan's political career will go bye-bye (in 4 languages!)
