COMMENTS by Sgt. Shamar Thomas USMC Veteran @ video link:

I took an Oath that I live by.I am NOT anti-NYPD. I am anti- Police Brutality. I am no longer under contract with the USMC so I do NOT have to follow military uniform regulations. I DON'T affiliate myself with ANY GROUPS or POLITICAL ORG. I affiliate myself with the AMERICAN PEOPLE that's it. I REFUSE to affiliate with anything that SEPERATES. There is an obvious problem in the country and PEACEFUL PEOPLE should be allowed to PROTEST without Brutality. I was involved in a RIOT in Rutbah, Iraq 2004 and we did NOT treat the Iraqi citizens like they are treating the unarmed civilians in our OWN Country. No one was brutalized because our mission was to "WIN the hearts and minds", why should I expect anything less in my OWN Country. I DO NOT SUPPORT WAR!

U.S. military personal fight to Protect the FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES of the People. OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS SACRIFICE there LIVES TO UPHOLD these FREEDOMS we enjoy. Local Police and Political factions try and DISRUPT these FREEDOMS. If we allow these people to stop Peaceful Citizens from speaking then OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS DIE IN VAIN. I CANT SIT BACK AND ALLOW THIS. I TOOK THE LOSSES PERSONALLY. THEY WILL NOT DIE IN VAIN ON MY WATCH. ITS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU PERSONALLY BELIEVE. ITS THE OATH!
