The fact of the matter is that it was a peaceful protest. If they were braking the law by trespassing as stated they should have been cuffed and processed. By the looks of it these folks posed no threat to the officers or the people around them. This is absolutely excessive force . To argue otherwise is ridiculous. Regardless if you agree with what these peoples message was, it is their right to protest. This country was built on the backs of people brave enough to stand up against what they felt was wrong. I certainly hope that actions such as these displayed by the officers here don't stop people front forming other formidable protests in the future. That is where the real tragedy would be. "A downtrodden class ... will never be able to make an effective protest until it achieves solidarity" (H.G. Wells).

She is confident because the people on her staff know who to scare the shit out of the bellends in the United States. Unfortunately the halfwits outnumber the people of average to above average intelligence these days so I pretty much agree with her. She can absolutely win. Have you ever seen Idiocracy? She is President Camacho. (I don't REALLY think she is that stupid. I just don't think she is presidential material.) After this entire Standard & Poor's debacle I seriously have lost faith in the current System. It's probably time for the People of the United States to pull their heads out of the sand, fire all these talking heads in office and really start over. To publicly debate that you might to pay your bills? Come on people! You didn't think that would effect your countries credit rating? They played chicken with the economy and lost. Now everyone suffers. Can anyone say double dip recession(or worse)? There is no innocent party here. Both sides have failed miserably. They will continue to do so because most of the people of the United States are to pacified by countless distractions sold to them on a daily basis. We've been duped People. ALL of us. It's time for people to stop calling themselves patriots and start acting like it. "Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories. " "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent. " "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. " 'If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?

+1 Good on ya champ! I agree with you. Who gives a fuck if the guy was Liberal or Conservative. Either way, the shooter was an asshole. - Comment on NES Controller (2010-12-22 00:14:26)

Season 1-2 were great. Such a cop out for an ending.
