Police Resort To Spraying Substance In Protester’s Faces

Things got rough during the "Occupy Wall Street" protests in New York Saturday. In this amateur video, police officers are seen wrestling one man to the ground and then spraying a substance from a black canister into the faces of female protesters even though they are clearly seen to be behind police barricades at the time.

Shoot them if you have to.

One less Liberal moron off the unemployment list.

Perhaps a photo of a dead looter in the street with blood all over him and his hands full of stolen goods will stop these nuts.

These morons saw the looters in London getting away with murder and now they think that they will get their way here in America?

Wrong.

If you are going to talk tough, and call for the death of people that work for a living, then dont act like a little bitch when you get hit with a little pepper spray.

AnarchoSoc   September 24th, 2011 - 8:35 pm

And as to be expected "small government" (LOL!) conservatives are all for police brutality upon people exercising their first amendment rights and not breaking any laws.

You're scum. And worse than that, the most rank f*cking hypocrites imaginable.

not breaking any laws?

police don't act that way when discourse is civil.

Those protestors should listen to their leader and be civil toward others. But of course we know double standards exist.

I'm not sure what I just saw in that video, but I hope someone can help with it. See if you can freeze the frame at 49 seconds. Mine keeps jumping from 48 to 50 seconds. It doesn't seem to show who did what.

drattastic   September 24th, 2011 - 8:41 pm

Protesting isn't near as glamorous as it seemed when they were sitting around the dorm room (their parents pay for )smoking pot , talking about how unfair capitalism is or was it their parent's basement where she has lived since she dropped out of college .Spoiled brats.

Petroglyph   September 24th, 2011 - 8:42 pm

They are disrupting society, for a Communist ideology phuckhead. YOUR leaders have been calling for this, take it like a man, or are you a little bitch like the one in the video?

AnarchoSoc   September 24th, 2011 - 8:45 pm

How exactly are they wrecking the economy moron? By having a protest or do you want to resort to they must all be on welfare when in fct a good portion of them are still in college?

AnarchoSoc   September 24th, 2011 - 8:46 pm

And are you going to sit here and try and say that Wall Street trading during the housing boom didnt push us into a financial abyss? IT DID. These are the facts and were proven beyond a shadow of a doubt during senate hearings when Goldman's emails were divuldged and it showed that they knew full well they were selling garbage to investors that they then hedged against. THATS WHAT THIS PROTEST IS ABOUT. I know, it's all the fault of school teachers and their massive 50k a year plus benefits. Stop dumping on the working class bonehead.

AS – Perhaps if you'd remove your head from where the sun never shines and get an "education" on THE cause of America's Second Great Depression, then, well, then you wouldn't be so obviously ignorant as you are.

Here's an excellent place to start: "Monetary Policy and the Housing Bubble" by B Bernanke. In it, the author clearly identifies the financially insane policies of the finanacially insane left wing liberals (Democrats every last one), as THE cause of America's Second Great Depression.

Oh yeah, if the name of the author looks familiar, it's because it's B. Hussein Obama's own Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Imagine the embarassment of being outed by your own guy.

They should protest against Obama, Bill Clinton, Barney Frank and all the rest that pushed mortgages on people that should have NEVER got them.

Burn it down – Wall Street is the problem.

canadianlady2   September 24th, 2011 - 8:50 pm

Not breaking any laws, you say? The goal of the organizers is to create a serious crisis in the U.S. financial system. That's known as "economic terrorism," and it is quite illegal. These misinformed students are lucky that the authorities are cutting them some slack.

Petroglyph   September 24th, 2011 - 8:50 pm

LMAO.

That's a protest? Looks like civil disobedience to me coward. Quite obviously the Police felt the same way. Are you really that phucking stupid?……………………….YES.

NYPD – STRINGENTLY ENFORCE the LAW.

These little middle, and upper middleclass bullsh!tters who filtered on down from Westchester and Orange County want for NOTHING in their soft pampered lives.

They hang around coffee shops – the guys stroking the new chin hair that spouted over the summer, the girls twisting their hair and inspecting for split ends, mimicing their communist/ Democrat professors, playing with their i-pads, organizing over Facebook and Twitter, commiserating about the "failures of capitalism" while relaxing in success and safety of CAPITALISM'S deep embrace.

If these little neo-communist pukes get out of line, bust heads and cart 'em off.

the the pepper spray was unnecessary.

The police were under no threat from those stupid girls and they appeared to be following instructions.

I hope the cops actions are investigated because I dont want "Storm Trouper'' police tactics to become the norm in the USA.

That said, the police havnt done anything wrong in any of the other videos posted here today.

Between 1995 and 2005, according to a new book, "The Great American Bank Robbery," minorities accounted for nearly two-thirds of household growth and contributed a whopping 49% of the 12.5 million rise in homeowners over the decade.

When bankers resisted being saddled with the risky loans, Clinton tapped Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to take them off their books, freeing bankers to make more of the political loans. He directed HUD to hike Fannie's and Freddie's goals for underwriting affordable loans.

HUD has the power to enforce their loan programs, and required that at least half of all Fannie and Freddie mortgage purchases benefit poor and minority families — a level that remained in force throughout the 2000s.

AnarchoSoc   September 24th, 2011 - 8:55 pm

Actually that monetary policy was started under Greenspan and a Republican administration. Regardless, Wall Street trades and financial instruments like CDO's, unregulated derivatives, and default swaps pushed us into nowhere land. THIS IS BEYOND DISPUTE and the reason for these actions. They sold toxic assets to investors and then hedged against them and on top of that took out massive amounts of insurance on them. There's your education dipsh*t. And you really think this is a partisan issue? It isnt. Wall Street donates more to democrats. But yet Republicans are protecting them.

Syrin23   September 24th, 2011 - 8:55 pm

What a complete dumb ass.

You BAITED Tea Party protest after protest HOPING to capture a moment like this. This is what YOU ARE !! You made deaths threats in Wisconsin and Ohio, shot a business owner for not using union labor, you took HOSTAGES two weeks ago, and now this among the dozens of others.

Don't even TRY to act like we're the problem ass bag. YOU are the party of violence and tyranny. Yeah, we're going to CHEER when you violent punk ass thugs meet the law, something foreign to you.

George_Sore_Arse   September 24th, 2011 - 9:15 pm

derivatives were unregulated due to the Commodities Futures Moderization Act which was passed by Bill Clinton. Clinton also repealed the Glass Stegal Act which separated investment banking from commercial banking. Look it up, idiot.

Jamesb   September 24th, 2011 - 9:16 pm

It was the unsound, ridiculous CRA of 1977 which was leveraged into a LIBERAL SOCIAL MECHANISM to FORCE banks to make BAD LOANS to unqualifed {often MINORITY} "customers." Period.

The TOXIC ASSETS involved were BAD MORTAGES which were forced on banks by "community organizer/lawyers" like Obama, acting in concert with other leftist organizations who forced banks to make marginal loans under threat of "Civil Right" litigation – BUT – the economy dipped and the bad paper OVERWHELMED the banks and the investment firms, which own/owned big chunks of bank stocks.

These banks {and ficilitators like Freddie and Fannie} – knowing they didn't want to litigate – made a sh!t load of BAD LOANS through the later 90's and 2000's leading up to 2007/2008 BUST {and resultant recession}, knowing {or hoping} they could RESELL the homes they got stuck with.

It turns out, they couldn't – the housing bubble burst – and the resultant chain reacton would have TAKEN DOWN the entire U.S. and perhaps world banking system – hence TARP, costing the TAXPAYERS – including the honest hard-working ones who DID and ARE PAYING their mortages – a boatload.

Wake up commie.

John_Campbell   September 24th, 2011 - 9:16 pm

Probably stretch my neck out on this one, but I have to call it as I see it. Given being shown nothing as a precursor to the spraying event to justify the action it appears to me as well that the cop went over the line. As much as I hold commies in utter contempt, rights are still rights.

George_Sore_Arse   September 24th, 2011 - 9:30 pm

yes. subprime mortgages were flatlined at 5% of total loans until Clinton stiffened the CRA rules in 1994. It took a couple years to get going but by the height of the housing bubble, subprime loans were 20-25% of all loans and made up 50% of all foreclosures.

The "peaceful protesters" were clearly moving TOWARDS the police and their orange baracade, which is designed to keep the "peaceful protesters" from entering the zone the police are protecting.

The police were saying "move back" the whole time.

Anyone who MOVES towards the orange baracade and towards the police who are saying "move back", which these "peaceful protesters" were clearly doing, deserve to be pepper sprayed and arrested.

ArizonaPatriot2   September 24th, 2011 - 9:44 pm

I don't know whether to give that comment a thubs up or down…
It is partially true in that wall street is to blame. The investors there are manipulated by the world banks (including the fed) . Ending the fed would more quickly get to the heart of the problem. Free markets are vital to freedom, but wall street is not a free market. The Fed and Obama choose who will win and who will lose.

I've been tear gassed {by an idiot at a concert, not by police} and it's no pick nick – but these kids are egging on the NYPD, they WANT to get arrested to pump up their "commie warrior" bonafides and the pepper spray wears off after it's flushed with water anyway.

The fact that they're so misinformed and have been led astray by our socialist educational complex is the really disttrubing part of this protest.

"Fannie Mae officials stress that the new mortgages will be extended to all potential borrowers who can qualify for a mortgage."

Evidently, being broke and an alien was deemed "qualification" enough.

Also, no one here is in love with GS. They are parasites and I'm glad their stock is being pounded. But Obama paid them back tremendously by allowing their top competitors to fail and then bailing out AIG who insured them against these losses. We all know Wall Street is a crooked game, but half the people gamble in it. Let's just make millionaires pay higher taxes BUT not until the economy is strong.

Producer confirms at 49 cop uses mace sprayer so that pretty much covers it, but I can't figure out why though. Doesn't seem to be anything leading up to it to justify the action.

Can you imagine how obnoxious these chicks will be back on campus now that they've got sprayed and feel they've earned some protest "cred."

John_Campbell   September 24th, 2011 - 11:52 pm

I'm not actually surprised by the comments. While I disagree with the lack of respect for rights presented by some, I can easily understand where they are coming from. Contempt for communism, or any form of dictatorship, runs deep and with good reason. A lot of good men have died to protect us and the world from such evil. That fight is still ongoing today. The idea that some could be so easily brainwashed into buying into such a cult like mentality is the surprising part and yet it happens. They prey upon the youth for their lack of knowledge and easy manipulation which goes to show why the public school system and the colleges are prime targets for the leftist cult leaders. Notice it's alleged 'teachers' who are promoting this and the protests are attended by alleged teachers and their students as well as protests like this one is primarily kids in their early 20's from whatever college.

When good men die to protect the rights of all, including free speech, only to have our rights and form of government attacked and condemned by leftist cult worshiping nut cases it's easy to see a not so positive response from people over it. Keeping it in check though is another story and I fear that is exactly what the leftists are trying to do, cause a real blood letting fight, or at least make some kind of an excuse for Obama et al to declare martial law and try to take over by coup. They are probing and pushing to see how far they can go before going over the edge.
