1. I knew what I'd see before the pic loaded. n/t

[Brigid]

18. I was afraid it would be cops beating up on protesters.

This is perhaps even more telling.

[malaise]

2. Well it's all BULL

shit.

[Fire Walk With Me]

3. Replace it with an American Eagle.

That's right....a huge protest in the area and they used 2 dozen police to protect the golden bull.

I am an atheist and even I know the story of the golden bull and what it represents!!

[FarCenter]

11. It's most likely a bronze bull; Were it gold, it would last about 2 minutes in NY

The gold one is in the vault at the New York Fed.

9. Ha! Yes it's so much better!

Very very funny, it shows who our government really represents.(need more police with it) LOL I want to make a bigger picture and post it on my window for all to see.

[Historic NY]

16. Squeeze them for all their worth.

:rofl:

[Bryn]

8. Hilarious!

Imagine protecting a statue of bull! I'd love to frame it (more police the better) to show Americans who our government represents.

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. The irony is....the police do not realize they should be on the other side of the barrier.

They are getting screwed big time, yet protecting those who want to bust their salaries and pensions.

[1776Forever]

19. I would bet most of them know - Their orders like the military come from "above" -

If it be known I think they would be right their with the crowd.

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. Actually, they had 2 dozen police ordered to guard that damn thing.

Read that in a Tweet, after I had posted the pic.

[Ian David]

13. ...

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. Yep....does no one in NY GET that?????

[Brigid]

17. I'm sure the protestors do.

I am loving the symbolism in the OP pic.

[Jack Rabbit]

26. +1

[Modern_Matthew]

14. This side of the class war has no protection. nt

[mistertrickster]

21. The Golden Calf of Mammon must not be desecrated. nt

[mistertrickster]

22. It always looks to me like it's staggered and going down . . . hmmm . . . nt

[fasttense]

23. Protecting the golden Calf.

So sad because those very same men who are protecting the symbol of the idle rich and their excessive overindulgence will get trampled by those people.

Protecting a statue. That's what this country values more than people.

[Safetykitten]

24. Wow...you are absolutely correct.

[Zorra]

25. Thanks. That's about as real as it gets.. nt
