OWS - NYC, peaceful protest, my ass!

You're looking more like the 'total ignorant loud mouth that gets his info from wikipedia' than he is.



You might look at my source, I'm sure it isn't from Wikipedia. And K. doesn't even provide us with a wikipedia source to back up his claim that pepperspraying peaceful demonstrators is normal in the Western world.

Also if I'm not mistaken, the guy who did it on "administritive leave" now. Isn't that a sign that what he did was at least questionable? Anyway the rest of the world seems to think just that.

Does state law require you to have a front plate?



yes, but it's rarely enforced.



Forgive the tangent, but presumably your state's DMV issues you 2 plates. What's so onerous about installing the front one?



What????
And remove my "Keep on Truckin" plate?
My reality and yours are quite different.

Actually I'm just sick of dealing with ignorant loudmouths on this particular topic. Go ahead and be proud of your ignorance. The rest of us have moved on.

It's even more funny because you're not even man enough to admit you got your ass handed to you in this topic. You pulled off the "looking like an idiot" part rather well

Thanks!



:D:D

Irony meter explodes!

Gotta give you credit

You are confident

Misguided as it is

[reply I think the fact that you don't have a clue of how discussions work is the main reason you think I'm "misguided".



The fact that you think there is a way this should work is cute.

It's an internet forum. You can't count on someone's opinion being consistent here much less any rules of order.

So other than providing you with sensitive documents from multiple agencies, what will shut you up? Whether you like it or not, pepper spray is commonly used against suspects exhibiting passive noncompliance or nonassaultive physical resistance. Laws courts and agencies have deemed this appropriate.

If you insist on talking about peacefully people committing no crime being attacked by police with chemical weapons, it'll be impossible to have a discussion with you about UC Davis, because that's not reality.

Uh, not quite. The most prominent example was the Earth First people that chained themselves to trees. The cops applied the spray to swabs and then put it on their eyeballs. After a lot of bouncing around in courts, you have an appellate level finding that this is NOT appropriate use when there is no physical threat.

Without reading pages and pages I think you are talking about the use of a level of force. I was once part of a large police force that was using a national program that came up with this standard flow chart of when to use what reaction level of force, and I can tell you for a fact that the use of pepper spray is allowed after a verbal command is given and a person does not comply. If not then disregard, but I did read someone here was wondering why it was used and if it was legal.

It really pisses you guys off when someone DOES NOT COMPLY.. with every little desire you can come up with doesn't it.

I totally agree with protest, and political involvement hell I have done it before I became a Classified Civil Servant and was by law not allowed to.

There are useful and progressive ways to go about it Amazon, when it comes to people getting to the point that they are now, the protest shifts TOTALLY away from the point they are trying to make, to a useless banter. Look at the shit we have been going back and forth about for two weeks, did ANYONE here solve anything?

No... because one side thru their training and mindset sees the other as low life "fleabaggers" and since they are not "people who matter" they need not be listened to.. just swept away by the militaristic servants of the 1%

Since when are the authorizations of the police sensitive information? In any free country, civilians have access to that information. I even provided you with an example: I now know exactly when the police can use pepper spray against me. But I sort of suspect when you use the word "sensitive" it really means "non-existent" or "not supporting the claims I made".

But to answer your question, yes I need to see those documents, and since it's a bit mean to ask you for documents of "about every police organization" I would be contend with the three you specifically mentioned. Those of Berlin/Germany Tokyo/Japan London/UK. Else you claim really isn't worth anything at all.

Sure, sure, but I remember that you used the phrase "Just about every police organization". That's not the same as "commonly". "Almost universally" would be much more accurate here. So what you're doing here is shifting the goalposts. Possibly because you discovered that a lot of societies do take tear gas and pepper spray a lot more serious than that John Pike character.

If you insist on talking about peacefully people committing no crime being attacked by police with chemical weapons,



First: I don't remember that I said that the police attacked the UC Davis protesters with "chemical weapons". Most probably because I never wrote that, but you're free to provide me with a link to a post were I said that, if I'm mistaken

Secondly: I do remember I said or implied that the protesters "could and maybe even should be arrested". While I don't know if sitting on the pavement is a crime, it surely indicates that I actually think they were possibly breaking laws by not complying to police orders.

Why are you twisting my words?

Oh I see, you need a way out of this discussion. And because you seem to be a bit cornered, you put words in my mouth to make up an excuse as to why you can't discuss this with me.

Quote

because that's not reality.



And since I didn't say it to begin with, it's (unfortunately I reckon) still possible for you to have this discussion with me.

The discussion was more about whether it was the same everywhere. It's a bit hard to find specific information about how and when different police forces use pepper spray, but the Dutch Police are definitely more restricted in the use of it. It also classifies as an illegal weapon in several European countries. I find it kinda hard to believe that those countries would use pepper spray as the second step. I never heard about it being used in that way. Whenever people are sitting in the wrong spot in a non-violent way they're just being picked up and carried to better spot. (usually being a cop car or something) This is how Germans solve a situation similar to UC Davis:

Pepper spray isn't used here, and you can bet those German cops politely ordered those protesters to move before they carried them off.

That technique doesn't work well when the protesters have thier arms linked. Damn near impossible to pick them up and carry them away.

Well, those protesters were cast in concrete and chained to a rail road. If the Germans figured out how to carry those protesters away, It shouldn't be too hard for Lt Baldy mcPepper to figure out how to unlink arms. Because I've seen my share of linked arms, and it's extremely possible to unlink them without the use of pepper spray. Also, American protesters aren't the only ones to ever use linked arms, it also happens in countries were the use of pepper spray isn't allowed in scenarios like UC Davis. Somehow they solve the situation without the use of pepper spray.
