It's not an insult to question someone's motives who's not working that wants to demonize a group fighting for better work compensation and a better working environment for all. There's not a personal attack in that list.
Point #2
Point #2 is you have no point. All you've done is rambled. Incessantly. That's why you can't list what argument you have
Point # 3
Any point you bring up I will eat you alive on.
Do you understand that? Of course you do, that's why you won't bring up another argument. YOU WILL GET EATEN ALIVE.
The more partisan monsters ramble, the more the American people will wake up.
People are tired of hate. Tired of the corruption of our financial institutions, and tired of the direction that our country is headed in. Amongst young people, there is overwhelming support for Occupy. Especially amongst recent grads and minorities.
Solutions are already being implemented and in the end it won't be some great confrontation, it will simply be a choice.
Do you want the corporation that gives back, takes care of its employees, and pays its taxes, or the corporation that doesn't give back, pays its employees the minimum, and evades it's taxes.
The battle lines are drawn and I gaurantee the American people choose example #1. Right now those corporations are in the minority, but as more people wake up, those corporations will be praised and abusive corporations will be demonized.
What conversation? 90% of this thread is you rambling and bumping it for no reason every few hours.
Your deflecting.
What is your argument for why police brutality was justified in some of the instances listed? For example, let's single out the incident where the officer stopped someone walking away, wound up, and punched them in the face knocking them to the ground.
Then arrested them. Probably charging them with resisting arrest or some other frivolous charge.
There are some lawsuits still pending in regards to the Occupy Wall Street Movement. This article covers an issue a previous poster brought up. It mentions that some of the cases for police brutality are still pending.
Andrew Ross, professor of social and cultural analysis, said that this is only one of many lawsuits Occupy has filed against the city.
“Many of them involve police brutality and illegal arrest of protesters, a shameful milestone in the NYPD history that will never be forgotten by those of us who witnessed the ill-treatment,” Ross said. “The willful and contemptuous destruction of the People’s Library stands out as a particularly ugly episode, symptomatic in my view of the contempt of City Hall for Occupy Wall Street and what it stands for.”
Great deflection from the topic. Not surprising. Anyways, it looks like you've been proving wrong. The city is on the side of the protesters when it comes to the video you kept avoiding.
NYC has chosen not to defend the officer who sucker punched a man in front of dozens of cameras.
Cardona and the City are being sued by Felix Rivera-Pitre, the protester Cardona punched on the violent march through Lower Manhattan on October 14, 2011, shortly after Mayor Bloomberg announced that he wouldn't be kicking protesters out of Zuccotti Park after all (that would come later).
Rivera-Pitre's attorney, Ron Kuby, told the Times that he is “glad the city recognizes Cardona is not worth defending, but it is disturbing that the same city gives him a badge, a gun and a six-figure salary.”
In Bologna's case, Corporation Counsel Michael Cardozo said, “State law prohibits the city from representing or indemnifying city employees who are found to have violated agency rules and regulations." The NYPD has yet to discipline Cardona or accuse him of wrongdoing. NYPD spokesman Paul Browne initially said that Rivera-Pitre elbowed Cardona, and that the department was seeking his arrest, but those charges fizzled.
After the City refused to represent Bologna, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly expressed concern: "I think it can have a chilling effect on police officers taking action…And I'm concerned about an adverse effect on officers' willingness to engage."
