I can understand your point, but you are clearly ignoring these groups’ track record of late. Need I list their crimes and attacks on our public sensibilities here? You already know them.
I can’t stand “Dirty Harry Wannabes” any more than you; I get that and support your statement there. We need to maintain our right to freedom of expression, even if we vehemently disagree with the stance of a particular group.
However...........these a**holes are well-organized, coordinated, and have established themselves as violent troublemakers. I’d EASILY cut the cops some slack here and let them take out the trash without rebuke, and ONLY because of this established and clear-cut track record of the OWS crowd we’ve been witnessing for weeks.
Here is the problem guys:
1. These clowns are running a media and pr war, but a legal or real one. So the hippies love this shit. It takes away from talk about rapes, drugs, murder, etc and sets it back to somewhere else.
2. The cops look terrible in this. It would be one thing if these kids were kicking down doors or fences, but they were sitting on the floor while a dozen other cops were nearby - they could not have broken the arm lock and arrested a few of these morons who refused to leave? The image looks awful and in the 24/7 media world, that is what matters, for better or worse.
3. This is a pyscological fuck up by the cops. This stupid OWS movement was dying down , was fractured, and was quickly losing steam. Now - these fools are going to unit, have a rallying cry, sue the school and the PD, and have a new recruiting tool.
4. Rules for Radicals by Alinsky. What these kids pulled was almost literally right out of that book. having read that book twice - these morons set the bait for the cops for the overreaction like tossing red meat in front of a dog and they went for it. Now - the issue will be the overreaction, not the fact that these idiots refused to leave.
5. You cant beat these marxists by force. That wont work, it never does. What you need to do is a combo of ridicule, psy ops, and sort of what like Schiff did.
This is how you do it - Schiff peacfully, but forcefully - DESTROYS these people. This is what to do - get in their faces and tear their failed ideology apart and these people will be exposed for the morons they are.
