Police say two officers were injured during an Occupy San Francisco march Saturday, including one who was slashed with a pen knife or razor blade. (Image source: KGO-TV)
Two police officers were attacked during an Occupy San Francisco march Saturday, police said.
Police spokesman Carlos Manfredi said officers were attempting to hold the line and keep protesters out of an intersection when a woman came from the crowd and slashed an officer’s hand with a pen knife or razor blade, disappearing before he realized he’d been cut.
In a second incident in the same location, police said a man then came out of the crowd and grabbed an officer’s radio, and when the officer chased him another male protester shoved the officer, tearing his uniform and leaving him with a bleeding laceration on his face.
Police did not know if that protester had a weapon or if the cut came during the struggle.
The attackers could not be found and no one was arrested.
Both officers were treated at the scene and released.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Posted on November 13, 2011 at 11:34pm@USLAWMAN, I stand with you, I am in my 32nd year and just retired after 30 years in the military active and reserves. I will never choose the union over the oath I took to preserve and defend…I grudgingly joined the union only because it is a closed shop where I work. If It came down to it, and I was on a crowd control line tomorrow, facing some union thug, I would gladly put him on his a** just like any other knot head.
@Hidden_Lion Personally, the guys in Wisconsin pi@@ed me off, cops have no business getting involved in that nonsense. Just like we have no business going on strike. My guess is those guys were the shop stewards and business agents for the locals and maybe some hard liners, but most of the guys I work with thought that was embarrassing.

Posted on November 13, 2011 at 11:17amOBAMA’S ARMY is growing stronger. The politicians are sending mixed messages. Every time they read a story about a deadline missed to close up an Obamaville they celebrate another victory. Every cop hurt without a major escalation by the police is another victory for them. They are growing stronger by the day.
The politicians are vacillating just like mommy used to do. “No cookies it will spoil your supper,“ ”I said no”. “Okay you can have one but just one.“ ”Why do you have two cookies in your hand.“ ”Oh come here and give me a kiss.“ ” Mummy vuvs you so much.”

3) rapidly accelerating violence
4) vandalism & destruction of public & private property
5) disruption of private businesses
6) widespread unsanitary conditions and health hazards
(a private residence or business with the same filthy conditions would be shut down in less than a week)

Also remember that the number of police officers shot was also between zero and a million. We’ve got to bring the full force of government down on those folks when the high end of the range reaches that level.

Posted on November 13, 2011 at 7:41pmPAULUSMAXIMUS” An astute observation. It’s called the big picture. The powers provoking and supporting these riots/demonstrations have ulterior motives. I dare say that very few of the on-the-ground-protesters have the vaguest idea, much less comprehension, of those ulterior motives. All this has been planned for a long time. Now coming to fruition. George Soros and his AGENDA-21 peers are chuckling as they swirl olives around in their drinks served by white-gloved servants.
Nancy Pelosi is one of those liberals/progressives who supports the rioting/demonstrating nitwits who don’t know any better — then she boards her private plane to fly from D.C. to California for her fund raising events. I wonder how she would have liked to have been the 78-year-old woman who, after attending the Ronald Reagan Tribute in D.C. last week, was shoved down the steps as she tried to leave …. and while the police stood there and just watched, then made no effort to help her.
