Frightening Occupy Times Square ‘Police Brutality’ Video Surfaces

The massive Occupy Times Square rally on Saturday resulted in 74 arrests, and new video has surfaced showing police clashing with protestors who almost knocked a patrol horse to the ground.

While descriptions of the video and blogs all over the web are lighting up with “police brutality,” it is worth taking a closer look at the video to determine what really happened. [Author's note: I was present covering the protests, but did not witness the police scuffle below.]

The NYPD had penned the protestors in the plaza areas of times square, and used metal barriers to keep people on the sidewalks so traffic could pass through cross streets.

The “police brutality” video incident began when protestors shoved one of the large metal barricades into the faces of several officers, pictured below:

A tug-of-war with the barricade ensued, and protestors refused to heed continuous police commands to step back. A dangerous situation became worse when the NYPD tried to apprehend one protestor, and police exchanged blows with the crowd.

The crowd surged around the officers and continued to push metal barricades at them. In the video it appeared that a number of protestors threw punches and assaulted officers.

Police recognized that it was a highly volatile situation, and a few white-shirted supervisors came over and tried to calm the situation down. NYPD officers stepped back from the crowd to regroup.

At that point, an NYPD mounted unit moved closer to the protestors to keep them back. The officers on horseback had several advantages: better line-of-sight, an imposing presence, and improved leverage to use non-lethal force when appropriate (batons).

The mounted unit tried to keep the crowd back, and then in a shocking moment, one mounted officer and his horse were nearly knocked to the ground. The nearly catastrophic fall (which could have caused severe injury to both officer and horse) appeared just off screen, but it looked like a metal barricade was probably pushed into the side of the animal.

The horse regained its footing, and the officers were able to calm the area. It was not clear from the video how many protestors were arrested as a result of this incident.

The video then cut out and switched to a protestor screaming to the crowd: “Who are you protecting?”

      It’s the Democrats doing this, they will never turn on their own. This president has put his re election and the Democrat party above the needs of the country. It is dispicable and it won’t work. There are still more people going to work every day, paying bills and trying to do the right thing than there are stinky leftists in the street. If Obama doesn’t put the breaks on his minions, people are going to die and it will be on his head and the head of every Democrat that supports it.

      It is an interesting idea to shutter businesses, pull kids from school and get out to protest to let them know how the 53% feel. The problem is that it is OUR OWN work ethic that drives us to be responsible in our lives. Most of us are too busy working to stand in a park for much more than an afternoon at a TEA PARTY RALLY. Maybe if a mysterious billionare would pay us our wage to protest we could think about it. ***** I have a thought about getting people back to work. After say, twelve weeks of unemployment your gvt check drops 10%. Every month after that you get another 10% cut. Eventually you would find a job. Maybe if we could do more to get the system cheats out of the system we might be able to turn the corner on our debt situation.

      It’s clear that the useful idiots want to provoke a confrontation so they can exploit it. The compliant media willling to play along with that. In fact..the media has stepped in to help these smelly idiots put a message together…
      Being reported on “Big Government” are leaked emails showing elements of the media are actively assisting these idiots, they trying to play the objective reporter:
      the Occupy Washington DC movement is working with well-known media members to craft its demands and messaging while these media members report on the movement.
      Journolist 2.0 includes well known names such as MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan, Rolling Stone’s Matt Tiabbi who both are actively participating; involvement from other listers such as Bill Moyers and Glenn Greenwald plus well-known radicals like Noam Chomsky, remains unclear. The list also includes a number of Occupy organizers, such as one of the Occupy Wall Street main organizers Kevin Zeese.

      In these emails we see MSNBC’s Ratigan, hawking his book in the footnotes, instructing occupiers on how properly to present their demands and messages while simultaneously appearing on television reporting “objectively” on the story (when he’s not taking part in the protests himself as content.)
      Folks…we have a fight on our hands. The left wants the rip the soul out of this country. They will help it’s enemies, then pretend to be above the fray. Just when I think the left has reached as low as it can go..it finds new depths

      Maybe you haven’t seen this – because I haven’tseen this story on this site, but this is what Sargeant Thomas – USMC retired told the NYPD:-

      I took an Oath that I live by. am NOT anti-NYPD. I am anti- Police Brutality. I am no longer under contract with the USMC so I do NOT have to follow military uniform regulations. I DON’T affiliate myself with ANY GROUPS or POLITICAL ORG. I affiliate myself with the AMERICAN PEOPLE that’s it. I REFUSE to affiliate with anything that SEPARATES. There is an obvious problem in the country and PEACEFUL PEOPLE should be allowed to PROTEST without Brutality. I was involved in a RIOT in Rutbah, Iraq 2004 and we did NOT treat the Iraqi citizens like they are treating the unarmed civilians in our OWN Country. No one was brutalized because our mission was to ‘WIN the hearts and minds.’ why should I expect anything less in my OWN Country.

      I saw that video, and was moved by it. I do not agree with everything the “protesters” are “protesting”, because many of them are mislead, and their group is being co-opted by polarizing figures.

      Just like the ORIGINAL MODERN DAY Tea Party which was started by Ron Paul supporters in 2007, was co-opted by Fox News, Beck, Palin, Tea Party Express, and a bunch of other foaming at the mouth religious radicals.

      I may not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll fight to the death for your right to say it. “The 1st amendment is not there to just talk about the weather, it’s there to protect even UNPOPULAR speech.” Ron Paul

      @ JEFFERSON. Thank you for the video. There were two confrontations. The one in the video and the other – which was much less LOUD. It is too bad that veterans have to go fight overseas and then come home to find that this country does NOT allow the First Amendment right of peaceful assembly.

      I don’t agree with everything that is done – or said – on all sides, but NOTHING positive in the ‘fear’ of the police in this country, when we were always taught that they are there to ‘protect’ us. There is far too much fear promoted in this country – and scenes like this only diminish our standing in the world – and make families afraid in their own neighborhoods.

      Really….where did the Tea Party use such tactics?? Some have suggested they spit on others who protested against them at their peaceful demonstrations. Proof? There is none, just like the Dem. Black Caucus members who claimed they were called the N word. No proof. Not even a phone video. You would have thought they would have staged it by now and put it out there. Idiots. BTW, has anyone seen or heard the results of the discussion for black performers and rappers to eliminate the use of the N word in their productions? Oh, that’s right, it’s OK because they are black.

If the vandalism and violence starts…. then you have cause to bring in the cavalry. The use of force now just antagonizes the protesters and plays in the hands of the progressives… who need a violent revolution in order to bring about their agenda.

      Are you blind or just stupid?…The article CLEARLY describes what they’re “defending”. The protesters were trying to break through a barracade that was placed to allow working people to use the roads their taxes paid for. The Mob had picked up a section of barracade and were using it to assault the peace officers.
      By the way, the police won…road stayed open, nobody was injured and the mob failed in the attempt to spark a riot that could possibly have caused some serious injuries or possibly even some deaths.

      What went on with Wall street and the Federal government was what is called venture socialism/crony capitalism, not fascism. All of those “isms” are bad and wrong, and everybody here as far as I know disagree with every one of them.

      From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

      America: Freedom to Fascism is a 2006 film by Aaron Russo, covering many subjects, including: the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the income tax, Federal Reserve System, national ID cards (REAL ID Act), human-implanted RFID tags (Spychips), Diebold electronic voting machines, globalization, Big Brother, taser weapons abuse, and the alleged use of terrorism by government as a means to diminish the citizens’ rights.
      Federal Reserve System issues and interviews in the film

      The film examines the Federal Reserve System, including its genesis and functions. The film asserts that the Federal Reserve System is a system of privately held, for profit corporations, not a government agency, and that it was commissioned to print fiat money on behalf of the federal government, at a fee ultimately paid for by the personal income tax (through service on bond interest). The film also refers to the fact that the United States dollar is not backed by gold, and states that this means the dollar has no real backing other than future income tax payments. Consequently, the film states that Federal Reserve Notes represent debt instead of wealth.

      The film argues that the Federal Reserve System operates by manipulation of what is sometimes referred to as the business cycle of economic expansion and retraction by putting new notes into circulation to increase the ease of obtaining credit, which devalues the currency, then compounds inflation by increasin

      America Freedom to Fascism
      1:49:17 – 4 years ago
      The Film Determined to find the law that requires American citizens to pay income tax, producer Aaron Russo (”The Rose,“ ”Trading Places”) set out on a journey to find the evidence. This film which is neither left, nor right-wing is a startling examination of government. It exposes the systematic erosion of civil liberties in America since 1913 when the Federal Reserve system was fraudulently created. Through interviews with U.S. Congressmen, a former IRS Commissioner, former IRS and FBI agents and tax attorneys and authors, Russo connects the dots between money creation, federal income tax, and the national identity card which becomes law in May 2008. This ID card will use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips which are essentially homing devices used to track people. This film shows in great detail and undeniable facts that America is moving headlong into a fascist police state. Wake up! —— Dear Lovers of Liberty, the struggle is just beginning! Get ready… Are you aware by May of 2008 the law will require you to carry a national identification card? Are you aware that there are plans being developed to have all Americans embedded with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) computer chip under their skin so they can be tracked wherever they go? Are you aware the Supreme Court has ruled that the government has no authority to impose a direct unapportioned tax on the labor of the American people, and the 16th

Should our State governments become fruitful in fully complying to this onerous law, it won‘t be too long before we’re forced to have those infamous miniscule computer chips implanted into our bodies. The Bible mentions this forboding possibility in Revelations.

      The problem is that some here are so wrapped up in the fear mongering of “Progressives, and Muslims are gonna get ya” mentality, that they can’t think straight. They’ve been given 60% of the truth from Judas Goat Beck, and think they have the other 40%, when they are clueless as to who the REAL culprits are.

The TEA party and OW do share common ground but they cannot see this and view the TEA party as the enemy. The last thing our politicians want is for us to band together. Divided they can better bring the“top down” on us all. It’s just a matter of time until the radicals stir the young people into a frenzy and things get truely violent and martial law is declared.

      If she didn‘t want to get hit she shouldn’t have been there. You march with s;;t you smell like s;;t.

      bottom line if she were at her JOB or school like she should be, she wouldn’t have gotten punched. The “flea party” needs to go home, do their bidding at the ballot box and not act like animals like this bunch of pot smoking ,tree hugging hippie and non working union bunch are doing.

      The cop didn’t punch a woman, it is a man. There is video of him talking about it, and other video that shows his face.

      There is other video that shows a cop telling him to get on the sidewalk, and he blows him off, pulls away from him, and then he gets hit.

      7.62… Look closer. Its a punk with a pony tail, not a woman. And if you watch further, the cop that hit him was sprayed in the face with something. He probably deserved what he got.

      That was not a woman, it was a guy. You can’t tell what happened before the cop punched him but you can see the cop bent over wiping his eyes afterwards. The guy in the green shirt obviously did something to the cop to warrant the punch.

      @7.62AirMailComeGetIt

      I’ve watched the YouTube video and I really must say, I am deeply disturbed by actions of that burly police officer. That lightweight female protester was instantly knocked out cold by that punch he threw at her, and then she trampled upon. The female protester exercised no threatening action that would warrant that kind of excessive use of force. In addition to that, I find the Blazers‘ cheering on the New York Police Department’s use of police brutality on the peaceful protesters to be horrifically appalling. It seems that the First Amendment rights to peacefully assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances doesn‘t apply to anyone that’s part of the “Occupy Wall Street” protest. How truly disheartening indeed. Thanks for bringing up the link.

      @ Oshawatt: try reading through the entire thread before tossing out a knee-jerk response next time.

      …and pacifism be damned. Some skulls need to be cracked when civil disobedience turns to criminal assault.

      There is no good reason to punch a girl in the face, unless maybe she putting a beat down on you. This woman was not doing that, so yes, this is police brutality. Even if she is a pinko commie.

      @Ex Masshole

      First off, my post ISN’T a “knee-jerk response.” I always think before I post, hence the reason why there aren’t that many statements with my username on it. Plus, I did read the entire thread.

      “Some skulls need to be cracked when civil disobedience turns into criminal assault.”

      Hmm…The only people that I’ve seen exercising criminal assault are the people from the New York Police Department. I’ve spent the entire late Saturday watching the protest, so I know all too well what has gone on there. The protest has been entirely peaceful before and after the NYPD’s disruption of it.

      its not because hes a coward….which in my opinion he is…….even though these idiots are mostly white…..they are his people when doing his biddings. Its seems he is egging them on. He will only get the guard in if it surves his purpose not the good of the situation. The ball is in the dems park and it will be seen by the world as such. They have mustard up these idiots by paying most if what i read was right. Now that they are getting the violance they so badly wanted……well…its getting a little scary. God help us all. Lotus.

    Okay, they shoved the barricade against the officers first, and then assaulted the horse and officer with the barrier as well…clear and cut, assault on the officer and the police then had grounds to respond and make the arrests.

    How soon until one or more of the “protesters” starts shooting?

    The “Occupy Wall Street” type demonstrations against Capitalism should be held in the cemetery!

    Capitalism contracted a fatal disease (Congress created the ICC, Interstate Commerce Commission) in 1888. It remained on its death bed until the mid-1930’s when it passed away without fanfare. While on the death bed, Capitalism was slowly replaced by Cronyism. Once, the transition was complete, Capitalism passed away.

    The death of capitalism was never acknowledged and the Wannabe Tyrants continued to blame the corpse for the economic failures of Cronyism. Of course, Cronyism is simply the transition between Capitalism and Tyranny. Still don’t understand? Read the book “21st Century Common Sense”.

    The objective of the “Occupy Thugs” is violence. http://commonsense21c.com/

    The purpose of these demonstrations is to create the chaos required to justify the declaration of martial law and suspension of the Constitution. The wannabe tyrants will not accept compromise that does not advance the cause of chaos. Their plan is the use of force and violence to overthrow the Constitution and create a world with the tyrant uses the unbridled force against the individual.

    Any attempt to compromise with these wannabe tyrants will only result in increasing the length of the confrontation and make the final solution more painful! See the cartoon describing the economic system that will result from their efforts.

      Our president wants violence and he does condone it. He is setting the example across the Country and has been for a long time. He has picked the youth, as they are the ones who are easily persuaded. Unfortunately, the young do not have a clue and are easily guided to follow the example as set forth by our president. God help us. We need to take our Country back!!!!

      The U.S. Constitution will stand for many years to come! The U.S. Constitution can be suspended but not replaced. There have been times of unrest in major cities where military forces are used to try and maintain law and order. If a full Martial Law was ordered across this nation, the head of the Department of Defense is charged with keeping the peace why the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branches of our Federal Government are replaced including the President, with newly elected Representatives. If the Republic is threatened by the Department of Defense and they decide not to uphold their sworn duties to uphold and protect our Republic and its Constitution, then and only then do we have the rights to bare arms against. Remember our military is made up of our son’s and daughters. Do you really think it will ever come to this?
