He was out of uniform.
Inb4 subject change, goalpost shift, about how the cop risks his life so we should be grateful.
He was out of uniform.
Should have guessed. Can't bear the thought of having to admit something you don't want to, so you deflect with a joke. Classic.
I know this has been visited, but maybe, just maybe these local reporters didn't want to get tear gassed.
M$M up to old tricks to undermine occupy
How did they come up with 100,000?
Black bloc, tear gas and not much M$M
Is this a US city?
So what do the Oakupiers want?
You mean they aren't Occubama's?
What would that even mean?
LOL...
Come on now. It's a fun name to have fun with!

(Reuters) - A former U.S. Army Ranger and Occupy Oakland protester was in intensive care on Friday after a veterans group said he was beaten by police during clashes with demonstrators this week.
The veteran, identified as Kayvan Sabeghi, was the second former American serviceman during the past two weeks to be badly hurt in confrontations between anti-Wall Street protesters and police in Oakland.
The group Iraq Veterans Against the War said Sabeghi was detained during disturbances that erupted late on Wednesday in downtown Oakland and was charged with resisting arrest and remaining present at the place of a riot.
Highland General Hospital confirmed that Sabeghi was a patient in the intensive care unit there.
Brian Kelly, who co-owns a brew pub with Sabeghi, said his business partner served as an Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan. He said Sabeghi told him he was arrested and beaten by a group of policemen as he was leaving the protest to go home.
"He told me he was in the hospital with a lacerated spleen and that the cops had jumped him," Kelly said. "They put him in jail, and he told them he was injured, and they denied him medical treatment for about 18 hours."
The Oakland Police Department did not immediately return calls seeking comment. Sabeghi's name was listed by the Alameda County Sheriff's Office as one of more than 100 people arrested that night.
The veterans group said in a statement that police struck Sabeghi with nightsticks on his hands, shoulders, ribs and back, and that in addition to a lacerated spleen he suffered from internal bleeding.
Clashes between police and demonstrators broke out in the early morning hours of Thursday in downtown Oakland following a day of mostly peaceful rallies and marches citywide against economic inequality and police brutality.
The Port of Oakland was forced to shut down during those demonstrations, sparked in part by the severe injury of another former serviceman, ex-Marine Scott Olsen, during a confrontation with police last week.
Olsen's injury became a rallying cry for the anti-Wall Street protest movement nationwide.

Is the headquarters of Fannie and Freddie in Oakland? What are they protesting exactly? Is it just anybody who works for the banks that they are against?
So you guys are back to not knowing what they want? How many posts before you decide that you know exactly what they want again and start condemning them?
so you know what they want? what is it? who's 'you guys' exactly?
Uh.. people decrying the OWS movement?
I haven't decryed them. I just want to know what they expect to get out of it. Who they are protesting against exactly. i talked to occupy clarksville and they didn't tell me. So far I get that they are mostly college kids who pretty much dropped out this semester and are running a form of commune in a public park.
Now I know the real reason there was no M$M in Oakland...
That was reported by the mainstream media that was there.
All of this MSM bull does is obfuscate from the real issues. Its not hard to figure out where the source of the corruption and lack of representation we face comes from. Trying to create a boogeyman distracts from the real problem.

The M$M isn't a boogeyman....they are part of the problem. They are as corrupt as the politicians....there's no ethics in M$M anymore....anything goes, or nothing goes...whatever suits power and money...
We got riots going on at Berkley and Penn State
