OWS - NYC, peaceful protest, my ass!

Recommended Posts

Quote

So, if 1 person throws a battery at your head and then a cup of urine - you'd want him arrested.

But if 300 people all do it, you're ok with that.


I don't think you really grasp right from wrong at all.

Or is it only ok if the 300 people all make less than $20K per year?

Seriously,what does the number have to do with it?



You know nothing about what's going on. I'm never ok with anyone spitting on me or throwing harmful objects at me. Never. Supervisors make the call on who to arrest. If you point out what happened to a supervisor and if he/she chooses not to take police action against it, then you have NOTHING! You cannot make any arrests without a supervisors approval. That's that. End of story.

You and your dancing mate keep dancing around the first hand information I gave about the so called peaceful protest. Instead, you wish to deflect. Really, I expected more from speakers corner than this. On that note. This is such a waste of time.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

What's the most you ever lost in a coin toss, Friendo?

I'm sorry, I just can't agree that wrong acts should be overlooked just because someone was in a mob and too weak to remember who they were.

It's a crappy "mitigating argument" rationalization



Interesting that only the OWS... are seen as "mobs".... other movements at least as defined on FAUX News... are defined as "patriots"



are you saying that two wrongs make a right?

First off, Thank You for doing your job each day! I know the actions of a few PD Officers is not indicative of an entire Force, I think every one here does, but to admit it will harm their arguments.

I see that OWS has big issues now, allowing that type of behavior to tarnish the good they are trying to do and will not help the cause grow. It won't even help to accomplish any thing. Your first hand account and more additional un-edited footage of various events is starting to show a trend of intentionally staging the events to incite the PD's actions.

Thank You again for doing your Job each day.

I think you're replying to the wrong poster. I was going after DD for being a dick at you - that, and his general tendency to be totally wrong on almost every single issue. I'm grateful for the first hand account.

let's hope the protesters don't start using pepper spray...



If they had balls enough to trespass, break an enter, as well as perform destruction of property, i wouldn't put it past them, they can get it in most any state.

Especially when you think throwing batteries at people, throwing urine at people, breaking others' property, an depriving others of their rights is "right".

And there we have it ladies and gentlemen. He doesn't care about anyone else's rights. He doesn't care what abuses are inflicted on anyone else. He only cares about more for himself, regardless of the rights of others. Dreamdancer, thank you. You've illustrated OWS more clearly than I ever could.

WOW

Millions of batteries and a gagillion gallons of piss.....Maybe the 1% will just fucking drown in piss and battery acid.

Yup that is what OWS is all about... not that your hyperbole is accurate.. but what the hell.. It fits the views you and yours hold of all those dirty hippies and trust fund babies and truly BELIEVE that is what they are all about

Well, since the shit I heard came from other sworn and certified officers, most folks give that more credence than "this one time on tv" or "that reporter said" references. I haven't seen the written UOF policies for most



You summed it up pretty succintly there.

Quote

That depends on how you define physical control. Obviously "soft hands" things like guiding with an open hand and use of restraints like cuffs on a non-resisting suspect are lesser force than OC spray.



Yes you stated pretty adamantly that physical control came after OC spray. Maybe the use of restraints and carrying people away would be a better course of action?

Quote

By the time an incident rises to assault, OC is pointless.



Right, so you would use it in situations where the potential for such is present. Was that the case here, or was this more a text book case of passive resistence?

Quote

Riots at G# events and hockey games would not support that conclusion.



Te fact that you are comparing a bunch of students sitting on a sidewalk with linked arms to riots explains your mindset.

the least credence is for the guy that makes claims on the internet without backing them up with sources. Here's the regulations the Dutch police uses for tear gas and pepper spray:

§ 2b. Pepperspray

Artikel 12a

1. Het gebruik van pepperspray is slechts geoorloofd:

a. om een persoon aan te houden ten aanzien van wie redelijkerwijs mag worden aangenomen dat hij een voor onmiddellijk gebruik gereed zijnd wapen bij zich heeft en dit tegen een persoon zal gebruiken;

b. om een persoon aan te houden die zich aan aanhouding, voorgeleiding of andere rechtmatige vrijheidsbeneming tracht te onttrekken of heeft onttrokken;

2. Pepperspray wordt niet gebruikt tegen:

a. personen die zichtbaar jonger dan 12 of ouder dan 65 jaar zijn;

b. vrouwen die zichtbaar zwanger zijn;

c. personen voor wie dit gebruik als gevolg van een voor de ambtenaar zichtbare ademhalings- of andere ernstige gezondheidsstoornis onevenredig schadelijk kan zijn;

d. groepen personen.

Artikel 12b

De ambtenaar waarschuwt onmiddellijk voordat hij gericht pepperspray tegen een persoon zal gebruiken, met luide stem of op andere niet mis te verstane wijze dat pepperspray gebruikt zal worden, indien niet onverwijld het gegeven bevel wordt opgevolgd. Deze waarschuwing blijft achterwege indien de omstandigheden de waarschuwing redelijkerwijs niet toelaten.

Artikel 12c

b. anders dan in gesloten ruimten ter verspreiding van samenscholingen of volksmenigten die een ernstige en onmiddellijke bedreiging vormen voor de veiligheid van personen of voor zaken.

b. women who are visibly pregnant;

c. persons for whom this use due to the officer visible breathing or other serious health disorder may be disproportionate harm;

d. groups of people.

Section 12b

The official warned immediately before pepper spray directed against a person will use a loud voice or other non uncertain terms that pepper spray will be used, if not promptly given the order is followed. This warning will not be provided if the circumstances reasonably permit the warning.

Article 12c

Pepper spray is against a person in each case more than twice for a period of no longer than about one second and is used at a distance of at least one meter.

§ 3. Other means of violence

Article 13

2. The use of CS tear gas is allowed only in the order of several prior consent of the competent authority.

3. The number which controls the distribution of CS tear gas to give the order number to CS tear gas grenades are used.

And Dutch police protocols apply to NYPD, how?



It's actually Kennedy who makes the claim that police forces everywhere use the same rules and regulation considering tear gas/pepper spray. If you had read the topic, you would have known that. My source disproves that claim btw. It simply may not be used against non-violent people that are sitting around doing nothing in NL. A cop who does that would be lucky to only loose his job after that.
