Or the mulitple videos of the kettling and abuse in NY on the Brooklyn Bridge, which has already resulted in some very expensive lawsuits being filed against the City, both for personal attacks and civil rights violations for entrapment.

You think that's "comedy". Guess that says more about you than those veterans and the NY protesters.

Don't deliberately misquote me. I didn't say that.

There are literally thousand of cameras at these things. If there was police brutality we would be seeing it and hearing all about it. We aren't. If there is one thing that the media loves to do is show cops beating up people. This entire media coverup conspiracy is made up.

Uh, yes, we are. At least those of us willing to pay attention - try YouTube, "Boston Occupy Wall Street" Like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu63e7QD_5k
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Swf5...eature=related

Or, Occupy New York, like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMFfU9kj8P8

But of course, you've already dismissed it as, "made up". Even though the mainstream media isn't showing most of it, but yet it's all over YouTube due to civilian media.

Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

This is the evidence? Lol
Of all the protests all over the country this is what you have?

Did the police not clearly give ample warning in Boston? One guy falls down? So it is ok to not obey the police now? Please give me a break. The mainstream media isnt showing it because it is hardly newsworthy.

What's the emoticon for, "I simply refuse to consider any evidence that is contrary to the opinion I have already formed" ?

Whenever even one person is injured or worse during a peaceful protest, it's newsworthy! We have taken the moral high ground in condemning crackdowns on peaceful demonstrations throughout the world yet posters here want to rationalize same when it occurs here...sure, the death tole hasn't started...yet. But history tells us it may at any time...whenever common folk take to the streets to demand their rights, the status quo reacts the same...the copper bosses didn't hire thugs to brutalize workers, Joe Hill wasn't railroaded, Dr King was a Commie troublemaker and Bull Connor a loyal civil servant, Kent State and Jackson State were the fault of radical troublemakers etc etc...
