"Those "peace" officers who stand idly by while innocent people are being mistreated, give their tacit consent to the violence being perpetrated by their fellow cops. they are therefore just as guilty as those who commit these heinous acts.

Even if we grant that the "few bad apples" who carry out the clubbing, pepper spraying and roughing up of individuals are not the majority of those who make up the police force, the number of officers who allow this kind of brutality to take place by not stepping in to prevent it, surely are, as this video demonstrates, the vast majority.

it is the responsibility of the police to protect people from those who would cause them harm, but when it is the police who are doing the harming (sanctioned by the state and the courts), where are the people to turn?

Calling all cops who still have a conscience and a sense of moral justice...come out, come out wherever you are! protect and serve. stand up for what is right! stand up for the democratic principles which make your nation great! the people demand it, and more importantly, honesty, integrity and a world where all have a right to exist without fear of exploitation, oppression and having their voices and interests silenced demands it!

Apparently, the cop who pepper sprayed the girl in the video is Deputy Inspector Anthony V. Bologna:"

It would be just great if Avalonians could send good energy to the protesters and some energy of the kind that will divert the police from brutality. They certainly need to be lifted up out of their quagmire. If we all participated in this effort, we may see the change TODAY.

Hi :)

Don't worry. They (police) can not outsource the crowd, when this pepper spray incident got crowdsourced ;)
There were too many eyes (and cameras) witnessing this for them to get away with that... Have a look at this:
The Atlantic Wire, Sep 26, 2011: Anonymous Goes After the Pepper Spray Cop's Personal Info (http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2011/09/anonymous-goes-after-pepper-spray-cops-personal-info/42960/)
Took me 1 minute to find ;) (google: pepper spray officer closeup photo)

Every time they do such thing the protest will grow. If they do nothing the protest will grow. If protesters stand to their ground the protest will grow. It is a win-win situation IMO :)
I wonder why anonymous bothers with banks or police departments? Why can't they hack into all this ubiquitous screens all around us and feed some live stream (or david icke :p ) to othercome msm blackout? Am i missing something? This screens are all connected to the net and waiting to be hacked :p

Would you like to watch some alex jones or money as debt while waiting for a bus?
The Quickening anyone? ;)
