C&L's Top 50 Videos of 2011: #13 Fox NY News Crew Bullied By NYPD; Iraq Veteran Defends
Two related videos tied for spot number 13 in the countdown. Both relate to the OWS protests, and both involve excessive force and aggression on the part of the NYPD. In the first video, a Fox NY News crew is hit with mace and batons while simply standing with a crowd of peaceful protesters.
Luckily for our intrepid Fox News NY reporters, Iraq veteran Shamar Thomas was also among the OWS protesters, and he spoke forcefully straight to the NYPD for the right of the protesters to peacefully gather and demand redress under the Constitution.
Here he is discussing why he was so angry and why he was inspired to speak out after witnessing the police brutality earlier in October.




Obama needs to call out the National Guard to protect the OWS protestors.

Yes, and the DOJ needs to prosecute cops that break the law. But the police departments have to start firing the culprits, starting with Tony Balogna - FIRE HIM. Police Departments - Fire their asses or be complicit after the fact.

The same DOJ protecting the 1%?
In poor countries people know cops are there to protect the banks/1%, ONLY. They're all too aware. I hope people in America wake up to it soon.

I hear ya Edwin. Yes, The same DOJ, but it also looks like the DOJ needs a strong case to go after the heads of the major banks. If i knew how to do it, i would be helping to make that case, but Perry Mason i am not. When it comes to the police brutality, it is far more cut and dried, and there is plenty of video evidence.
