1. Do you hear that pig keep saying "I'm just doing my job"?
Yeah. So was Adolf Eichmann.

4. I heard him say that...
...and it appears that their words don't match their deeds. It's as if they're
saying things to make themselves look innocent--when what they're doing is anything
but.

If they are beating and pepper spraying people--that's not "just doing my job". They're
hurting people who are assembling peacefully. The police were crushed from a PR standpoint
the last time they pepper sprayed those girls--I guess now they figure when they say nice
words while they engage in barbaric behavior--that it's ok.

And what's with the--"on the sidewalk" orders? Are they infiltrating a crowd, then making
demands that can't possibly be met--then beating and pepper spraying?

You can't ask a big crowd in a street to move onto the sidewalks. There isn't room.

Seems like a trap. If others have further explanations about what is happening in this
video, they are most welcome.

5. Several Tweets on the ground identifying "agent provocateurs"
who were in the march, then joined back up with police when arrests began.

8. I got the impression that the person saying, "I'm just doing my job," was
a reporter because he prefaced it each time with, "Don't hit me! I've already been hit once. I'm just doing my job."

He sounded at least nervous, and maybe scared.

2. Watched the whole thing. Where in that video did the police "LOSE IT"?
Because I evidently blinked and missed it.

It you're going to show a video where the police actually "lose it", why not show a video where that is actually happening? :shrug:

7. That doesn't seem so bad.
It's not as bad as the video of the cops clubbing people.
