i mean you got the right to assemble, but you can't blame the police for trying to keep the roads clear.

Good luck getting the NYPD to change. Although I can see why they would be assigned to keep the roads clear.

Well, they're definitely not going to release his name without charging him. That's a death sentence.
If the evidence 'gets tainted', that basically ends in disaster for everybody involved, just like this did.

Protests of this nature + the scale/population of NYC=trouble
He should probably kill himself. I mean, I can't imagine what prison is going to be like for him. Granted, I'm sure his defense will workout some type of protection or some shit, but still, that seems like a huge gamble.

Hands up, don't shoot. Such a powerful statement. I love it.
They're outnumbered and can't mow down people with their surplus military hardware.

Well..... as proud of the american people as I am right now I am NOT proud of the police. Also do we know what happens to the police who committed the riot? If there are no consequences from these horrible events then whats to stop this from happening again.

A family member who is a cop posted a link to an article by a police officer's wife on my Facebook.
Warning: There's some really bad comments in here
My issue with posts like these is that: police officers were created to serve the public, not to serve themselves. Posts like hers show a very self-serving attitude.
This is an amazing essay on the entire issue.
"If American citizens grant law officers the right to carry and use firearms with deadly force, it comes with an equal measure of responsibility. When a firearm is used in the line of duty, an individual and an agency are both responsible for that action. If a law officer exercises his right to lethal force, his actions are accounted and declared to the public he serves. He does not hide behind an arbitrary grant of anonymity; he is publicly identified as an acknowledgment that when he accepted the extraordinary rights granted to a law officer, he also accepted the responsibilities."

Protestors took the NYPD by surprise. NYPD scrambled to try and contain the protestors as they were spilling into the streets and they shut down Times Square.
Around this time, yes.

Of course. There are side streets though. It's not the same as if it were Main Street in a small town.
It's not Time Square, but they're close. 9 Ave. and 42nd St.

I think it's important not to presume guilt until proven innocent when it comes to this officer. We are all innocent until proven guilty.

Fucking, ugh. What a stain. I can't believe people saw us fucking up on such a monumental level. Worldwide!

Yup. Violence should always be directed at citizens by the police, never the other way around.

Respect breeds respect. Even honestly believing that, I'm shocked at the difference in less than 24 hours.

I hope everyone stays safe.
You have valiantly slain that strawman.
What? That's not at all what I meant. The last thing we need is a protest to turn into another night of rioting, especially in place like NYC. I'm as much disgusted with the recent behavior of the cops as anyone else.

.......I'm confused by this statement.
Amazing change in atmosphere and interactions. If only the police had shown restraint and respect in the first place.From today's march on Ferguson
Easy Rambo, nobody said that.
Seriously. It's pretty remarkable and gives me a glimmer of hope, no matter how naive it might be. The community in Ferguson are some righteous, brave people.
