Cop pepper sprays Occupy protesters

[blackdog]

Could work in Pomare too.

[Hitcher]

Occupy Pomare? Now there's a headline grabber.

[scumdog]

Work in Pomare?

Oxymoron......

[TIBLE_90]

haha, made me lol watching them all just sit there as the cop casually pepper sprays the bunch.

The worst thing the "authorities" could do to the protesters is to ignore them ... fence them off and let them wallow in their own shit!

They see every other action as justification for their stance!

wonder why . Throwing flash bangs into a crowd that has gathered to help someone who has been shot in the head by a bean bag, pepper spraying 84 yr old ladies and a small group of students peacefully protesting (on their own campus grounds no less) and assorted other thugery (no other word for it) isn't exactly what I would call endearing... and all because their bosses don't like the tone of the peaceful protest... I see why the Auckland council have fenced off their protesters and are spending 20k per week on security. Protection from the police

Wow, did this happen in New Zealand did it???

Like in Auckland where the council have spent money on security for the 'protesters'?

[Kickaha]

I would have used dogs rather than pepper spray, big hungry dogs with pointy teeth

Nope, but I can't wait for the day that it does. Oh, hang on, sorry New Zealand, it'll never happen in New Zealand.

Faaark. Thought I had stumbled on the Occupy Dunedin thread. Oh well.

What about tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons. You have to consider the poor dogs.

Interesting replies.

I fail to see how the use of Pepper Spray was in any way justified, they hardly looked like they where aggressive, and it did seem like they where exercising their right to protest, it is after all, America.

Ho Hum...... it seem sthat those with the money make all the rules, and it will never effect anyone else will it.

Back in the sixties they just shot them. I mean really, what is the world coming to when USA cop has to use pepper spray instead of real bullets.

[meteor]

Why? The cops in Aussie the removed the protesters from Melbourne peacefully and were called all the names under the sun so they might as well have a reason for it.
