WTF is wrong with these white shirt nazis!? This NYC cop slams his fist into the face of a GIRL who appears to be doing nothing but protesting! And then it looks like he STOMPS on her as she is laid out on the pavement!

My God these stupid assholes are going to martyr some innocent kids sooner or later!

[elehhhhna]

1. MSNBC"S Deutch said OWS needs a Kent State "moment". Looks like

it's going to happen.

[virgogal]

10. What an awful thing to say. Violence is never needed.

[Matariki]

28. THAT IS REPREHENSIBLE

Oh my God. Someone is on television hoping for murdered martyrs? That's sickening.

[Little Star]

2. That SOB needs to get fired!!!!!

[peacebird]

7. He needs to be relieved of duty, and lose his pension.

[elehhhhna]

19. no kidding, esp. since that's what he's fighting for ...

the right for us to lose our pensions...

[elehhhhna]

20. no kidding, esp. since that's what he's fighting for ...

the right for us to lose our pensions...

[donheld]

34. Sent to prison

[ixion]

3. the real question is: why are they still a cop?

because I would be willing to bet that ones perpetrating violence on innocent protesters have acted violently in the past.

[Renew Deal]

4. Lawsuit

That guy is soon to be a retired cop.

[boston bean]

5. Oh my, that is shocking! What a fuckin asshole!!! Those white shirts aren't union are they? nt

[Kennah]

16. The White Shirts are Lt. or above

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Police_Department#Ranks_of_the_NYPD

Sgt. and above have a supervisory role.

[Frustratedlady]

6. What is the difference between the white shirts and regular dark shirts?

They are viscious. Are they hired goons?

[blogslut]

11. They are commanding officers

8. He was in her face, arms flailing, she was backing up with hands up to defend

and he punches his fist into her face and takes her down.

He knew he did wrong, too. Watch his hands fly up in his own face right after he does it. WHOA, SHIT, WHAT DID I JUST DO??? Then he scurries away instead of handcuffing her if she had actually done something illegal.

9. WAIT... that's a different angle of that guy in the green shirt!!!

The one who then said he is HIV positive...

looking for link...

Video here:

Shows he was walking away from cop who turned him around and clocked him.

[boston bean]

13. no, it was a woman, he walloped right in the face. totally different hair and clothes.

[malthaussen]

21. Look Again

I had the same thought initially. Green shirt, red scarf around the waist, brown hair... I think it is likely another angle of the same assault.

[boston bean]

22. already did, see down thread.

[cui bono]

24. No, I'm sure it's him. look at the bag strap, the way his hand is on it. Same shirt.

and if you pause this video before the punch, at 0:10, you can see his facial hair:

[boston bean]

26. yep, saw that myself.

That officer is a PIG!

[cui bono]

27. I hope that guy gets his hands on both angles of the assault.

He'll need them in court.

[workinclasszero]

14. Hey I think u are right! nt

[justiceischeap]

17. I think you're right. That is the guy with the green shirt

If you look at different pics of green shirt guy, then pause the video at 10 seconds, you'll see there is a red shirt peeking out underneath the green shirt. Kinda like here:



The bag strap is the same color as well.

[cui bono]

25. Yeah, I just posted that pic at 0:10 and you can see the red shirt and facial hair.

Upthread...

[boston bean]

18. I just watched closer and I think you may be right!

:blush:

[Vattel]

23. I am pretty sure you are right about that. Good catch.

[sfpcjock]

12. Bad apples, and so on. The white shirt probably intends it as provocation to

other protesters to inflict serial mayhem on a whole group and start wildly swinging a baton at them. I don't know. He should be disciplined.

I think, as Lawrence O'Donnell pointed out last week, that police know just how far they can go and never be reigned in by the force, the union or the courts. This bad apple was probably living up fully to that. NYPD is probably not the same force it was before the massive Homeland Security frenzied ramp up, but we must remember that the officer rank and file is also part of the 99%, as we are.

15. Not sure now if its a female or the HIV pos guy

Mod please edit the title of post or lock it if you want thanks

[The Doctor.]

32. ???

You ummm... don't get stuff, do you?

[Canuckistanian]

29. That wasn't even subtle or ambiguous

He just RUNS up and decks her. Wow.

And you can tell by the reaction of the immediate crowd - it was unwarranted and shocking.

[Glimmer of Hope]

30. Omg - He assaulted her!

[The Doctor.]

31. Just wait until the protestors stop restraining themselves.

These dumb fucks just can't seem to do the math.

[Historic NY]

33. The victim is male see link below.

[lumberjack_jeff]

36. Oh. Well that's entirely different. Carry on. n/t

[yoyossarian]

35. Apparently having a ponytail makes you a girl!

This is the second thread that's misidentified this dude's gender! What the hell?

[Simeon Salus]

37. If white shirts punch, cuff, arrest or pepper spray a non-American tourist, the jig is up.

International tourism will stop. The golden goose will be killed, and it will take years for the city to recover.

Just like in the 70's, Corrupt police officers + no leadership from the mayor = eventual NYC bailout by the feds...

Last week I heard tourists in front of the Empire State Building ask the bus ticket guys if they would get to see Liberty Square. It's just a matter of time before somebody's embassy gets involved.

[wndycty]

38. I watched the video, it sick however that was a guy not a female

:kick:

[hobbit709]

39. Was done to a friend of mine two weeks ago there.
