You're right, but stuff like what just happened at UC Davis makes my blood boil

Of course, what really irritates me is that people seem to have no historical context. Like, take a look at any of the giant protest movements over the last 100 years. When, in ANY of them, has the history sided with "police officers who attack unarmed protesters?"
Also, people using the word "hippie" simply because they're protesters. It's 2011, that's like calling anyone in a Starbucks a "beatnik."
Ugh.

I amuse myself.

Declaring people "enemy combatants" means they get to treat you as such too.

I agree with that. However, many seem to think that means it's OK to beat them up.

They have to be doing something else before you can lawfully arrest them.

Then they should be doing what the police say. Because that's the law. *NM*

Thereby hangs the tale, indeed; I would also be interested in Toms elaboration on that.

It's almost impossible for you to say what OWS is when it refuses to define itself.
