Are they supposed to do the Vulcan nerve pinch and render them helpless?

When a protester is standing still, not resisting arrest, you place handcuffs on them, take them by the elbow, and walk them to the paddy wagon. If they are sitting quietly or passively relaxing, you handcuff them, and two police drag them by the elbows to the paddy wagon.

You do NOT charge into them in a group, waving your batons, hitting them when there is zero resistance, throwing them to the ground, and sitting on them, then dragging them across the ground to the paddy wagon.

As is visible in multiple videos of the "Boston Cops vs Veterans for Peace" videos out there.

One of those lousy California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizza was $8.29 at Kroger.

Things are getting bad when 4 bags of groceries cost more than a day rate for an escort.

This is a great video from OccupyBoston.com website, about the night the Boston police came and destroyed the second camp - which was livestreamed btw - they came in and took all the campers belongings over a couple hour, and threw them out (stealing private property, but I guess that doesn't count - - then came back for the protesters, going through the Veterans for Peace first

We had this odd announcement from the mayor of Boston:

“I will not tolerate civil disobedience in the city of Boston,”

– Thomas Menino, mayor of the city where patriots staged the most celebrated act of civil disobedience in American history, The Boston Tea Party
