By this same logic, these are the types of creatures the USA is made up of - liars, cheats, free loaders, scum.

In the second video, a NYC cop runs over a protester's leg with his scooter. Again, we don't know what exactly led to all of this.

Maybe the police officers were concerned about getting hit with glass bottles. Geesh.

I’m very sympathetic to their outrage about corrupt bailouts and crony capitalism. But these people don’t draw the right conclusions. They complain about the problems caused by government, yet they generally think the solution is…you guessed it…even more government.

They should have crapped on the scooter.
It was pretty bad acting on the protestors part. There seemed to be more camera people than either protestors or police.

These protestors are the opposite of the Tea Party as they value civil rights and liberty for all, not just a narrow minded group of homogenous extremists.

Let's see how many congressional seats this not fringe OWS movement will be able to get in 2012.
