When a policy enforcer assaults you it’s you who ends up being charged with
assault. Welcome to Orwell’s nightmare.

Gabe Oitoucher says:

Why would you need to receive “due medical assistance” for a bruise?
Exactly. She was “abused” yet suffered a single bruise to her right breast,
something reported as her possibly having done to herself. Seems to me
she’s the same as those abortion protestors whom claim the reason why they
protest is because “life is so precious and god and the bible” then they
bomb a clinic killing innocent people.

BlueFlyer83 says:

The most eff’d up part of this; if you so much as left your leg to fart in
the direct of a police officer you could be charged with assaulting an
officer. 

guydecervens says:

I don’t think you should use the word ‘activist’ to describe Leftists. Call
them what they are.

How many days did Pussy Riot get in jail in Russia for playing music again?

sedjetra says:

If you resist arrest you are “assaulting officer”! What a straight way to a
police state.

EuromanMovieReport says:

In Russia they would have shot her.

Nhan Truong says:

These cops uses their job as an opportunity to take advantage of vulnerable
womens… sick bastards.

Karl Slicher says:

Here she would have got a nice compensation payout and some interview
deals. Your all missing the main point though, this happened in the US, she
is lucky to be alive! They want to send the same clear message as usual:
Don’t question your masters….

botchedonce says:

Another one enjoys the prison state that is now America. Good thing she was
not homeless sleeping outdoors in New Mexico or they would have shot her in
the head and let the dogs chew on her. USA, USA USA…

Stricken4Pot says:

Where liberty dwells, there is my country. The United States of America is
no place of liberty, and in-fact is the greatest threat to mankind on
earth. I hate my government, and I take no pride in calling my self a
citizen of the United States. If you currently serve the government, as in
carrying out its wishes, as a participate in the armed forces, or as a
police officer, ect. you have none of my respect, and you are a threat to
everything that liberty stands for. I’d rather be shot dead then locked in
chains and forced in cell by our so called “Justice” system. I know not
what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me
death.

TheJapanChannelDcom says:

The whole point of the “occupy” fad is to get arrested to draw attention to
whatever cause.
She achieved her goal + a bonus charge for hitting a cop.
No news here.
And the cop didn’t “attack her”, you silly little girl.

MrTwiddlez says:

Occupy wall street is still a thing? o.o

elvis633 says:

She should be allowed to torture the officer to death on national
television. N the jury, for their ignorance, they should all be publicly
executed.

SMGJohn says:

Police State Plutocratic ‘Murica, what a joke of a country

pedobearapproves says:

What about Russia sentencing 3 Years in Jail for Pussy Riots members ? Oh
and if you haven’t read the News, They are back in Jail again. Russia
disgusts me, Its same as Communist China.

Turbo Nerd says:

Self-defense? Bullshit. This is just one example of the lies that leftard
protesters like her always manufacture to make law enforcement officers
look bad.

TheFightingSheep says:

Self-defense can never apply in a confrontation with cops in any country,
it is always criminal anywhere in the world. If a cop tries to punch you
and you block or duck, it’s resisting arrest, if you hit back it’s
assaulting an officer. I’m not saying it’s right, but it’s the law. The
only reason she got 90 day is because she plead self-defense, if she had
plead guilty, she would have probably only gotten 90 day probation.

marcus edwards says:

People are dumb!

agriperma says:

Occupy wall street is protesting the fact that Wall street controls
government, Wall street also controls the media because they own it.

Wall Street owns the Government and Media, The Government controls the
police, and the police control the population.

occupy movement is working to bring control of the government back to you
and me, to the people where it is supposed to be.

If you are against the occupy movement, it is for the simple reason you
have been brainwashed by the media, and we know who the media work for.
how do I knw you have been brainwashed? simple really, why else would
anyone be against something that is working to benefit you, and give you
more power? only if the media told you that occupy are just lazy criminals,
and commies and whatever, yeah Wall Street, enjoy their power and control
and they will fight tooth and nail to keep it.

fatpigbatcrusader says:

TiTs! Let her out. He grabbed her titties, let them out. Cop didn’t like
tit so he arrested her. I hope she gets out and the cop comes out of the
closet!

MrElitegamer6 says:

Seriously? How do such people even become LAW enforcement officers when
they break the law themselves.

elite1980s says:

OK how about the violence the police commit on civilians? And that’s not
including the most serious of crimes that they commit. This problem lies
deep in government as per usual who are mere traitors and criminals who act
only to oppress the masses at any cost and doing the bidding for the shadow
government, such as JP Morgan who at the time of the movement, rewarded the
NYPD with over $3 million, all govts=scumbags.

ligerten says:

Sick Perverted American Cops They can’t wait till they get the Orders from
their Neocon Masters to start shooting demonstrators! Believe me its not
far off!

MoonlightTheifVideos says:

Welcome to Fascist America where the media, law enforcement and armed
forces are controlled by the Zionist EUSrael government for NWO. New York
City is where all the fucked up bankers dwells to finance militarism and
imperialism 

Just4Fun says:

How dare she attack an law enforcing citizen of the grate American Empire!
She should be hang for her self defense agents such a loving and caring
human as that brave police office is witch tried heroically to dispars that
ragtag band of terrorist that wanted to take down the loyal banking father
of our grate and beloved emp… nation.

I want to continue this but I can’t.

The ‘lund of the free’ hawhaw

Karl Wacey says:

We wouldn’t need to demonstrate if the system worked! Restore the republic
now: a government of the people, by the people – no compromise!

Manufactured Consent says:

Compared to the 1100 that have been sentenced to death in Egypt she got off
lightly, considering majority of the worlds leaders sit on the same
curvature of evil.

shockolanul says:

Love the democracy and freedom of USA. Or die!

SlCKB0Y2013 says:

NOW GET IN LINE AND PAY YOUR TAXES YOU SCUMBAG SLAVES !!!

Cacalari Bus says:

The mob is not supposed to attack their shepherds – both property (at least
the ;juristic person’ but that’s what the mob identifies with) of the
human-farmer (aka elite).

Jack Reaper says:

An over zealous cop meets a stupid feminist cunt that thinks she can do as
she pleases. 6 of 1 and half a dozen of another.

1190lewis says:

Jesus Christ, it’s like they arrested a tumblr fag.
HURR DURR YOU CAN’T ARREST ME ITS SEXUAL ASSAULT IF YOU TRY

Nathan Callidor says:

There are almost no police left in the developed world, only mercenaries
participating in a coup against the people at the will of the government.

Tyson Horsewell says:

If you actually grab a woman’s breast and they retaliate you probably
deserve it. If you are the police you probably should be punished by the
state and the woman should be given the benefit of the doubt. Mind you if
you hit a police officer for no reason you should be probably should be
punished by the state, even if just to deter others.

The problem is that claimed can be made on both sides after the fact and in
the chaos of the fracas who knows what really happened!? That is why police
should have cameras with microphones (many countries now have them – are we
not in the 21st century!?) and if the camera is off or obscured then it
should be the police officer has to take total and personal responsibility
for their actions. The punishment should be very harsh and the benefit of
the doubt should always be given to the vulnerable person: female or male.

It’s the police officer that has a club (baton), a gun and state mandate
behind them, they are certainly the ones in power.

Arctic Tofu says:

She elbowed a cop to the head. The act was video taped. There is no
evidence of the cop doing anything to her before she assaulted him, so I
see nothing wrong with the sentence.

Aiscit Oniurop says:

police state… hopeless continent!

thug sodier says:

First talk about the people Your police harass everyday when they carry the
smallest Ukrainian flag.

Meanwhile the girl she interviewed did not see as everything started, she
said that in the interview. people in the US have made silly claims of
sexual assault or sometimes pretend to slip in your restaurant and so…

If she said the cop grabbed her in the boobs from behind, was he trying to
tear off her boobs? she was wearing BRA and clothing, What kind of strong
hands will the cop have to give her those bruises?
I say she lied, in that sense, the claim that she assaulted a cop can be
believed.

Many people hates the police, Most times they lie against the police all
the time that’s why the police now have camera in their cares.



Robert Alston says:

As much as I feel sympathy for this woman; it pales into significance with
what the Jews have in mind for the 99 % when they pull the plug on the
petro dollar. The Jewish owned Federal Reserve is doomed and the Jews know.
A billion rounds of Israeli made dum dum bullets have been purchased and
FEMA has bought large tracts of land that are currently being surrounded in
prison style barbed wire. 

CHAS1422 says:

I see that RT is trying itself on two ends of the propaganda spectrum. I
would say that the “occupy” movement has far better potential and ethical
positioning than the “American Spring” movement. It seems there is some
merit to this story. I hope the girl is okay.

Psylliumhead says:

Funny how you don’t show the assault which is on video. The cop is just
standing there and she runs up and hits him.

ricklandbarrett says:

GET HER OUT OF JAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!
