HOLY SHIT, if the cops are letting these guys go, THEY MUST BE COPS running people over! It's certainly possible. Were these guys even cited? What are their names, were they even taken? As far as I know a cop MUST report an accident, otherwise it's a coverup. Think about it! That is the ONLY reason cops let people go... when they catch another cop buddy. Everyone has been keeping their eyes out for infiltrators, but what about all this direct violence coming from the police? What will they do next? When you think about it, it's VERY STUPID and dangerous to attack crowds of demonstrators with a car. A cop wouldn't have to worry so much if they've been cleared to do it... This is like what happened in Egypt, when police vehicles just mowed people down! It's happening in SYRIA right now too. I suppose they could just be ASSHOLES, but real stupid ones if true.
SHIT! YOU TUBE HAS REMOVED THE VIDEO, CLAIMING IT'S HATE SPEECH! I didn't even get to see it. In case you didn't know this is a NEW POLICE TACTIC, to demand the take down of videos critical of police. They use this Hate Speech excuse for most of the requests for take downs. Is the MSM following this story?
This suggests that people won't be so aggressive and angry at others if they apply stringent measures, fees, and fines to limit traffic in the cities on the planet. The green movement succeeds at peaceful intentions.
I know there were plenty of witnesses who got photos, videos, and wrote down the tag number. Witnesses have the tag numbers in this incident and the Oakland incident. In both cases the police let the drivers going saying that it was the pedestrians' fault for being in the road.
Actually it's not the job of the police to decide who's at fault. That's what the court system is for. I can see where they could be worried about the safety of the driver who committed the crime, but that's a good reason to arrest them on the spot. How do the police know this guy won't do it again around the corner? Then who would be responsible? The police for letting a violent person take off in a deadly weapon.
The fox report makes it sound like it was the fault of those hit because they merely decided to jump in front of the car. They have witnesses too yada yada yada...but it truly is hard for me to trust mainstream media sources such as FOX....I haven't watched the video it made me a bit dizzy. Does the video document only the aftermath of the hit or does it start before the incident takes place? If anyone finds another media source with this story please do share the driver's definitely NEED to be tried and NOT by police who decided to let them go?! this is getting pretty extreme, and a bit frightening. :banghead: we are all HUMANS with self worth not greater than anybody else.
And this is where the disconnect is...... There's a whole bunch out there that think they are better than everyone else.
Here is an announcement on the Occupy D.C. page regarding the car hitting protesters: http://occupydc.org/
To add to the craziness here is video of a woman and her dog that were hit by a car last night in D. C. outside of the American Dream Summit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ukp7oJ5E0M"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ukp7oJ5E0M
