hey look, a circle with officers surrounded.

Welcome to planet Syria!

No. The cops say, "Please remove your tents and vacate the area"; to which the protestors say "No!". Son of a bitch! Respect my authoritah!

Then the highly trained law-enfocement agent (ROFL!) calmly writes a number of tickets for a variety of bylaw infractions, and the whole thing is sorted out in court at a later date. But, no...

Stupid, idealistic people arbitrarily get pepper-sprayed in the face, and your property taxes go up because the municipality that this happened in has a shitload of out-of-court settlements to deal with.

A Message From The Mayor Of Your City:
All you conservatives and tea-baggers DO realize that the cops are union members, right? There's nothing more socialist than a union.

The only thing worse than a lazy unwashed hippy punk socialist, is a fat, entitled unionized socialist punk with a uniform, a gun, and a badge.

This is way too fun:1orglaugh


.

wait, where the tents at? ;)

LOL

Really? You said there was no circle and officers were not surrounded. You're wrong completely. The tents were removed but THAT has NOTHING to do with the students that all sat and locked themselves in that circle and refused to leave who were chanting "Fuck the police" among other things.

The police that came at them with pepper spray, were not the ones on the inside of the circle, it was ones that came up the sidewalk from outside of the circle.

Its all pretty clear if you actually did watch the video.

I know that actual facts are a bit bothersome.

obviously youre taking this quite seriously.

http://static.businessinsider.com/im...er-sprayed.jpg

looks to me its not even full circle, looks like its broken on both sides and its mostly just bystanders sitting and people looking at the cops, not really a full circle imo. this can be shown by the fact the ones in front camera face outward, whereas all people in back are facing inwards. LOL

you can see in the video and pics that its quite obviously a full circle. Not that I care, it was just odd watching you say something completely different than what the video and pictures clearly document.

:2 cents:

:1orglaugh Tebow makes his own deadly circle...of victory!

i didnt say it was never a circle, admittedly i watched the vid once read a article and went back to working on ads all day lol no, i didnt study the angles like JFK assasination video, but people are in here saying they were sprayed for tents etc,... there is no tents either.

it may have been a circle at one time but as the event wound down people dismantled tents and then watched with cameras in hand at cops... no one was attacking them or anything, all this talk of tents and private property is irrelevant its about SPRAYING students in face with chemicals that burn people and cause severe skin irritation and/or inflammation reactions for sitting on sidewalk.

spit on a cop, sure, id say mace your ass. really... but these people were not doing anything.

I don't know man, that looks like a pretty intimidating circle to me judging by the faces of those fearsome protestors;)

Those two on the right are particularly menacing :1orglaugh

I am scared by the chick in the grey hoodie;)


.

I was simply correcting his re-imagining of the actual events and circumstances. Not saying the protesters look dangerous or trying to break down and analyze the structural integrity of the circle.

:1orglaugh so naturally now the pepper spraying cop is a meme-

truth is, none of us were there and rely on a few pictures, some vids and media. :2 cents:

lolol

And in all seriousness what those cops did was completely uncalled for.

Any decent cop will tell you that "if you are met with force you respond with force" and in all of these videos/pics there is no indication that any of those students was using force against any officer when the cops sprayed them.

The truth of it is, there is a full video that documents the entire thing from start to finish on youtube. I know because I watched it.

sorry, i'm goin' meme crazy ahaha

i didn't say they weren't..

no you won't, your car would be towed.
resisting arrest would imply they tried to arrest you and you resisted , i saw no such thing take place.

again , nobody implied or suggested anything differently..



except for the fact it was on a college , college students and college police .. besides that sure.. lol
this isn't a best buy and nobody pays tuition to best buy, furthermore nobody lives at a best buy.

If your dorm is on school property you have a right to be there as you have likely paid rent, the school cannot just ask you to leave just as your landlord couldn't ask you to leave if you had paid rent..

You could however be expelled for breaking school rules, that is all that should have happened here.. the cops should have removed the tents and given them all tickets, if the school feels the violation is ground for expulsion then thats what they should do..

It's a university. There are protests in universities every year and nobody ever got paper sprayed before it's the corporations that were attacked.

That's the problem.

She is not hired by the students and there were not that many people in the video. Maybe 100, tops?

It is a full circle and if you stop to look at it, it looks more like they are all facing the same direction, as if they had a speaker they were listening to, or photographers they were posing for.

Did you ever watch the video I posted earlier?

For those that missed it. It is 15 minutes long, so it includes before backup arrived. There is no doubt that this was a crowd of 300-400 people all encircling about 10 cops. About 5 minutes in backup arrives and the crowd disperses on one side of the sidewalk, except the kids that decided they were not going to move.

I have a feeling they will the next time.

think there was a rally today there of 3-4 thousand.

sure they can.. the police can order you to do anything they want.. when you follow them blindly it makes you a sheep.


once again you must be watching the wrong video , there are no children there..

although a tad sad you would call college students "children" when you sell porn with girls of the same age.. :disgust

if those 20+ yo students are children what is this ? ch_____ porn ?
http://www.rochardsbunnyranch.com/bl...lege-babe.html

I have a feeling they will move to, and what you will be left with are a dozen flattened cops as they are beaten into the ground by 300 pissed off people who are beyond the whole peaceful thing.:2 cents:

.

there's a time and a place to protest.

the police tell you to move you move.

you're all brainwashed with police drama on TV every night

"I KNOW MY RIGHTS... EITHER LAY CHARGES AND ARREST ME OR I"M FREE TO DO ANYTHING I WANT"

you're all dreaming!

don't listen to logic in this thread and you'll get a can of capsicum in your face and sit in a cell with drongos for months on end. your choice!


</THREAD>

speaking from experience?

If the parents of this trash had adequately raised their children then none of this would have been necessary. These spoiled self-deluded mutts screaming about how the world owes them something are the result of poor parenting. :disgust

In general I agree...... except that bashing the fuck out of rioting degenerate hippie trash is basically the only legitimate function of the police. Most of what they do on a day-to-day basis is an outrage...... but maintaining public order is about the only thing they are supposed to be doing.

you don't even believe that. i know you are daddy's boy but you are grown up and can think for yourself now.

the government holds a lot more power than they let on!

the last people you want to f*ck with!
any high level government operative can make you just disappear.

you're guilty as hell in prison... no one can hear you scream behind closed doors!

if you think you can chant in Times Square still, those days are long gone!

It's the status quo... time to wake up... hippy communes breed terrorists! whether true or not that's how you get treated.

Do you think Officer Pike has been sitting at home reposting pictures of himself all day?

Oh Jesus who gave this idiot internet access?

You watch too much television, cam_girls. Your stupidity is showing in vivid Technicolor. Maybe when you become an adult you will realize just how unbelievably retarded you sounded here. :1orglaugh

To all of you ranting about what the tangent of the students was or you think it was, and making comments about what they eat, their bathing habits ect... get a clue and try not to go off topic. The issue of this thread was whether or not the police acted with excessive force.

Its a quad they are sitting on and there is a lawn that needs watering. The wisest use of forced compliance would have been for the police to just leave and turn on the sprinklers. Pepper spray was not warranted.

The federal courts have ruled on such cases. At the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers courts in nine western states, the cases have centered on whether or not the protesters were involved in what is called "active resistance."

The court used the term in considering a case about another highly circulated video of a group of passive demonstrators being swabbed with pepper spray in 1997. The protesters had linked arms on the floor of a California congressman's office to protest the logging of old-growth redwood trees on California's North Coast.

Because demonstrators were using a metal sleeve to prevent the county sheriff's office from separating them, attorneys argued the protestors'"active resistance" left officers no other way to disperse them than dabbing their eyelids with Q-tips soaked in pepper spray, said Jim Wheaton, an attorney who assisted in the prosecution of the civil case.

The 9th Circuit ruled that the protesters weren't in "active resistance," and because they were sitting peacefully, the use of pepper spray was excessive.

"Pepper spray is designed to protect people from a violent attack, to stop somebody from doing something," said Wheaton, senior counsel for the Oakland-based First Amendment Project.

UC Davis police used "it as a torture device to force someone to do something, and that's exactly what the 9th Circuit said was unreasonable and excessive."

Squealer, you're a putz and I am glad you are not my neighbor. You come off as just the type of hysterical prissy little pussy who calls the cops over every little issue.

cam_girls, have you ever considered a career in police work? I think you would fit right in considering you are fully qualified as a bona fide retarded dip shit. :2 cents:

I drove across 4 states to see Guernica.

awesome piece of art, and thats hilarious adding pepper spray guy.

I guess you would say the same thing about the parents of children from the 60's? Ironically those kids are now the ones in the power, the ones who bankrupted the nation leaving the mess for their children and their childrens children. We are the lamb.

Your car would be towed and you would most likely be taken in for a psychological evaluation.

The police gave them a direct order telling them to take down down the tents, they refused. They were told to leave the area, they refused. They were told they were going to be arrested, and they refused.

They refused arrested by not standing up and putting their hands behind their backs. Instead the children linked arms and sat there. They resisted arrest, and the police moved in on them.

There is a huge difference between a dorm room and a public space on a college campus. There is a lot more legal protection for your home than there is in a public space.

However, with that said, if the police catch you doing something illegal in your dorm room or your house they can arrest you there too.

No, not really. The police didn't know who these children where. They refused to be arrested; They refused to turn over any school ID or any other form of ID. The police couldn't ID them to report them. So they got arrested.

No, they cannot. During a dispute it's clearly within their power to have you return an item to another person, or to vacate the area - even if it's your house. They cannot tell me to have sex with someone or tell me to jump off a bridge.

No one is saying we need to blindly follow and obey the police. But when they say "vacate the area" it's clearly in your best interests to move.

I'm intentionally calling them children because they act like children. They are college students, and think they know it all. They are kids.

Are you implying that I have something to do with children porn because I post up pictures of Kari Sweets?

Grow up.
