    That is entirely my POINT! You are watching a VIDEO! Finally you get it.

    People's ire gets misdirected. Look at the tea party.

    Nice red herring. I guess you realize your argument is a non-starter.

    I have rarely seen cops act in a reasonably responsible manner when they try to control a crowd when they have a preconception that the crowd will be hostile. Invariably they over react.

    I'm not defending the reason these people are congregating. But it is their right to do so.

    So you are against the tea party protest but for the Wall Street protest? Did I get that right?

  6. I've made no judgement one way or the other. In fact, I'm pretty sure I explained that in my last reply to you. However, you failed to answer any of my questions so let me pose them again:

    Should protesting something be considered anarchy?

    Have these protesters caused damage or attacked police?

    Do you think the police should adhere to a proper escalation of force (when dealing with protesters) or should that principle be abandoned?

    Thanks Doctor. Yes, almost all people have a tendency to over react. And the sky is blue as well. Btw, markets fluctuate too.

    I"m against the idea that the protestors we like are righteous and the protestors we don't like are "cockroaches".

    Do you have video or other evidence supporting your claim? I haven't read or seen anything of that sort.

    Does that give the cops the right to violently take anyone want for no reason down to the ground and arrest them?
