Violence by Occupy Wall Street protesters has spread to demonstrations across the nation, with thousands of rioters arrested and dozens of police officers injured. Ed Mullins, president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, explained New Yorks police officers are working around the clock as the already overburdened economy in New York is being drained by occupiers who intentionally and maliciously instigate needless and violent confrontations with the police. More than twenty New York city police officers have been injured by the protesters.
Here is a photo of Felix Rivera-Pitre, an HIV-positive protester, assaulting a New York city police officer:
AnkaKarewicz posted this photo from Occupy Oakland, showing that the event organizers were training the protesters how to assault peace officers:
Heres a photo posted by @ReadyAimShoot of a protester at Occupy Oakland carrying a sign that says All My Heroes Kill Cops:
Here is a video of an Occupy Oakland protesters admitting that protesters were pelting the peace officers with bottles and rocks before the police were forced to use tear gas:

The protesters at Occupy Phoenix have been distributing a leaflet titled When Should You Shoot a Cop which advocates the murder of law enforcement officers.
Protesters at Occupy Boston assaulted a young female member of Americas Coast Guard by spitting at her and throwing a bottle at her.
The Boston police are investigating threats made to their officers by Occupy Boston organizers, protesters, and sympathizers.
A protesters at Occupy Wall Street was arrested by police after he threatened to stab reporter John Huddy. The protester, Dustin Taylor, of Millerburg Ohio, was charged with grand larceny, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, and harassment.
New York police also arrested a man for making death threats against a woman, because she reported an assault to the NYPD. The protester, Hasan Castillo, of East Orange New Jersey was arrested, but police as still searching for two accomplices. They men apparently told the woman You had our friend arrested were going to kill you. Watch your back.
This speaker at Occupy LA explains that non-violence will not work and that violence is necessary to achieve the Occupiers goals:

It isnt only that the protesters are engaging in violence, or that the organizers are encouraging violence. To make matters worse, the organizers are discouraging event participants from reporting violence and other crimes to the police as part of their media management strategy. Victims of violence, including sexual assault, are being pressured to let these crimes go unreported so as to prevent media coverage of these incidents. One police officer described the grim situation in Zuccotti Park, There is a lot of infighting in the park. There is one part of the park where they wont even go at night.
You're still in my prayers, and I notice you still post a lot which means you could be like me and on the computer a lot.
Oakland is bad news even in the best of times.
SEIU is running squads of paid agents provocateurs to stir up the trouble there.
Mayor Quan just surrendered the town to the thugs yesterday. Only a fool would go past 40th street at night any more.
Sheep-dip’em!
Yeah, I don't know who to cheer for as I pretty much loath stinking neo-hippies and cops equally.
Guess I'll sit back and make some popcorn.
And Madison’s current mayor, Paul Soglin, was a protestor during the 60s. Also, while he was mayor during the early 70s, he was part of a group that went to Cuba to meet with Castro.
Police once upon a time, a long, long time ago where referred to as “Officers of the Peace” or Peace Officers.
LOL! That's pretty funny. How quaint.
Meanwhile, Bernardine Dohrn is thrilled. She could not use “thrilling” often enough in a recent radio interview. It’s “contagious,” she said. “Thrilled” that the violence is spreading.
What did we say? Didn’t we warn it would go this way? When is enough enough?
Just as in 1972, the great Silent Majority will go to the polls and sweep out the trash.
I believe the Occupy adherents started oput as a fgroup of useful idiots for the Democrats and Progressivess, but when they stayed for days , which was stupid, they attracted drones, ex-felons, thieves and the dregs of the earth,
They had no message to begin with , only a desire for adventure, but scum was gathered in by free food tents and other things paid for by Soros, Move On.org and SEIU.
The whole thing has turned into a disaster that needs cleaning up by the real protesters going home and the problems being arrested and jailed.
The protesters didn’t know what they were protesting in the first place.
Do you have a handy link on that? Thanks in advance, if so.
The anarchists in the protester's ranks are probably drooling at the prospect of chaos, but they will be sacrificed by the puppet masters behind these protests whose ultimate aim is the destruction of the capitalist system, the Constitution which protects that system, and the imposition of a communist/statist government in the U.S.. The rest of the West has already fallen. We are alone now.
How can you tell them apart? Seriously, there's little difference between them.
Yeah and now they are running things in Washington.
Re: Clint Eastwood pic.: One of my favorite actors...
I have seen that movie twice in the last few months on my Gsat. (Asian TVRO)
Re: Artichokes... Globe? My favorite veggie since I was a small child. Can not find them in Phiippines :(
I did, however, find them on occasion in Slovakia at Tesco.
Since that protester has been identified as HIV positive, I hope the cop had more than a hot shower.
