Maybe if she was pregnant she should of been responsible and stayed at home.

How could she have afford that if she was homeless?

@255,305 (B)
Does this include not going to the hospital or a midwife?

I'm sure getting kicked and maced by police for exercising her constitutional rights would also suffice.

...you think there's a constitutional right to camp out wherever the fuck you'd like as long as you're protesting something?

As long as it isn't considered private property that one doesn't have permission to protest on or if they obstruct traffic, there should be no problem in them protesting. I mean, it's not like the right to assemble is in the bill of rights or anything.

Hence why they should be escorted and told not to return rather than sprayed with mace, tazed and then kicked.

Resisting escortation (Yes, I know. I invented that word. Deal with it.) is no excuse for police to misuse self-defense armaments. As far as I know, these protesters are still using peaceful measures that can easily be dispersed with other methods that WON'T bring negative attention onto the police.

Nah, when you're the police you ask nicely once, then break out the batons and teargas. Otherwise you're asking for trouble.

Cracking heads gets the job done, asking politely over, and over, and over doesn't.

I'd probably just start blasting NSBM over a loudspeaker to disperse the hippies.

But that is way less effective than brutal force. If you want them gone now then you've got to use fear and danger, not minor annoyance and mild discomfort.

You've never been to a protest before have you, or been involved in a riot? Civilians will do some really stupid and dangerous shit when they think the authorities don't have control.

The Tea Party ran its course and died off as the police didn't resort to violent dispersion despite the amount of CCW/OCW tea-partiers. Do the unarmed OWS protesters really need harsher punishment than the Tea Party protesters?

Lol'd. The tea party was not a real grassroots protest movement. It was a joke told by the koch brothers. Real protesters get kicked, gassed, sprayed, and beaten.

Didn't you learn about american history in school?

Let's see just how the police would behave when they find out that the person they just kicked in the gut just so happens to be surrounded by OCW/CCW protesters. Unfortunately, given the fact that OWS protesters are deathly just as afraid of guns as Tea Partiers are deathly afraid of gays, that won't happen and the OWS protesters will continue to be stepped on.

@255,614 (Walter Calton !0VegJ9Jl.Q)
What measures would you suggest?

@255,645 (Walter Calton !0VegJ9Jl.Q)
The tea partiers did not take over parks and campuses with entire CAMPS, shit wherever they'd like, rape each other, mock property owners trying to assert their property rights, and generally act like fucking hoodlums with no message or purpose at all. They behaved lawfully. Of course they didn't get tazed, tear-gassed, etc., because they didn't do anything wrong. Do you pay attention at all, or just spout shit you read on twitter?

I think the police have gone too far in a lot of instances (UC Davis for one, which I think was a lawful protest in the first place), but they absolutely are doing the right thing in breaking up the encampments. Again: you cannot just set up a hippie camp and shit wherever you'd like.

Maybe they should have guidelines of things NOT to do when they see OWS protesters such as: kick pregnant women, mace pregnant women, punch pregnant women or anything that may induce a miscarriage (read: government-enforced abortion).

That's all fine and dandy. The police should try to be keen on avoiding any action that may cause someone to miscarriage or anything that may make them comparable to the Arab Spring riot controllers.

So you're accepting as fact that she made them aware she was pregnant? Even if so -- are you saying the cops should have a policy of never using force at all against pregnant women when they break the law? Think through this one, please.

Did you read the updates in your original link? The story looks doubtful anyway.

@previous (Walter Calton !0VegJ9Jl.Q)
You are a fucking retard if you see this as comparable in any way at all. They're not sniping the hippies ffs.

Protesters have been getting pepper sprayed for ages, it used to be part of the cachet of it to get arrested or have force used against you as part of a demonstration. Now the retards provoke the cops and baww when they respond exactly as one would expect police to.

floorboard !hbZVTk6JYc joined in and replied with this 15 years ago, 7 minutes later, 14 hours after the original post[^] [v] #255,749

also protesters hope there's police brutality and opposition to their cause. It means they are doing it right. If a pregnant woman chooses to take part in protesting then she agrees to take part in all that that represents. This isn't about police brutality, it's about a moron who decided to do something stupid: put her unborn baby in harms way. If you think protesting isn't about violence, then you're a stupid fucker. Regardless what anyone says, when push comes to shove people have to fight for their ideals. And protesting is exactly that, fighting for your ideals. And you don't go to fight when you're pregnant, you do that when you're a stupid and probably vapid individual who thinks protesting is all chanting and hugs. it's not. ASK THE NIGGERS.

Cool.

Maybe so, but they are growing ever closer in resemblance in Oakland.

Maybe Mace is fine, but the kicking should stop.
