Shame!

[A Revolutionary Tool]

Anybody else getting tired of hearing that whenever the police start doing something bad at protests.

[Manic Impressive]

shame shame shame on you shame on you for turning blue.......oh wait.....

[Chambered Word]

nah dude

[Winkers Fons]

Yes, I think it is kind of silly. I think it actually does more to drive people away from the protestors than it does to make the police look bad.

If the whole giving them flowers (http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l9j83kGIGO1qzaos7o1_500.jpg) thing didn't work out, I don't think saying "Shame" will do much.

That's what happens when people have ethical standards set for brutes

In that picture is a bunch of men with Circle A's on their caps and guns. Police? More like black bloc.

Such a wishy washy liberal way of confronting armed state-sponsored enforcers

Like they're suddenly gonna go
'My God...you're right, shame on me! What am I doing? I'm so sorry..'
than drop the baton and go home to have a long hard think about what they've been doing with their lives.

But if the tone of the crowd isn't open physical confrontation or riot, there's not a whole lot else one or a few people can do. When I attended a counter-demonstration to a Neo Nazi rally last September, the crowd wasn't (for the greater part) in a violent or confrontational mindset. Love as I would to bash some Nazi skulls open, I couldn't do much more than heckle the 300+ defending riot police. I wouldn't have even made it over the fence to get a single punch in before 15 riot shields slammed me backwards. We need people to really be radicalized and ready to fight before we personally can do anything more than shout down injustice.

He was providing a running commentary to the police about the severity of their actions throughout the whole thing. Somehow this guy managed to make a video of police officers sexually assaulting a teenage girl even less bearable to watch.

Those are MPs ... Military Police

From now on we must post 'Shame!' when the BA does things we don't like!

Handing the police flowers makes them look like a bunch of weak hippies who are going to be easy to push around, and when the protesters actually get aggressive the pigs pepper spray them and overpower them in numbers. I'll admit that I'm slowly loosing faith in the Occupy movement.

I guess I don't have much room to talk, seeing as I'm not doing anything at all.

Do Americans not have their own version of "harry robberts"?
here "een Politie paard zijn lul zit op zijn rug" (a police horse its cock sits on its back) is a stable favorite.

[Qayin]

When they say shame it annoys the fuck out of me. Occupy Phoenix got torn down the first day(oct15) and the civil disobedience that took place they all said WE LOVE YOU to the police over and over. Ughh

[GatesofLenin]

These recent events regarding the occupy movement and the brutality shown by the police is a good thing. Hopefully people will see what "freedoms" they think they have under the great "democracy" called the USA and Canada.

[ColonelCossack]

shame shame shame on you shame on you for turning blue.......oh wait.....

I have a friend called Kaleb who used to be a vegan rasta quasi socialist, but now he's sort of become a rugged individualist pseudo-intellectual capitalist. He even shaved off his epic dreads. :crying:

Anyway, to really irritate him (which is fun for me to do to everyone 'cos I'm a bastard), whenever I see him I shout at the top of my voice in the school corridoors, "Ka-leb, shame on you, shame on you for turning BLUE!" (never really say it on demos though...). All the socialists and somewhat lefty types in my school crack up, but everyone else gives me funny looks... for some reason...

I'd like to think so, but if the plenty of examples of police brutality before that were not enough to cause such people to wake up...

I have a friend who was really involved in Occupy Toronto who suggested to me that "the cops are working class too, they could be on our side". :rolleyes:

If we do I've never heard it.

No shit... At, the first march after the first eviction of Occupy Oakland, I recited the #opBART chant, "From London to Greece, fuck the police!" at a line of cops blocking some side street... It was then that some (probable) liberal asshat looks at me, shaking his head 'no' and waving his hand palm toward the ground, saying, "Hey, don't... Don't do that." After that I couldn't decide who I wanted to punch more.

Occupy Lancaster is camped out right next to the police station; they're basically working hand in hand with them, and the last time I drove by the occupation, there was a big sign that said "Support local police" out front. :mad:

cha....!!!

I think if you're going to a thing where there is a very likely chance of getting beaten up by the police for political reasons, the best thing to do would be to show that there isn't much that they can do besides beat you up and/or arrest you. I remember reading about the protests in Russia right after the elections, and one guy who talked to a cop there said that the cop told him, "If there are 500 of you, we will beat you up and disperse you. If there are 10,000 of you, we will stand and look at you. If there are 500,000 of you, we will join you."

Nah, don't think so.
A favorite time of mine was during Occupy. The guy right next to me ran up to a group of 6 cops on horseback and yelled "get that pig off that horse!"

Yeah, always wondered why the police love to protect the higher ups? I mean, I wouldn't take orders and die from some rich pig.
