Forum Post: To be honest, some of you deserve pepper spray or a good nightstick across the face...

If there is someone committing a crime and resisting the police, then I expect an aggressive response by the police. If the police are telling you to leave an area, then you better leave and be thankful you were not either arrested or injured. I have seen very few times in my life where the police provide the courtesy of a warning.

You might think this is Egypt or Libya, but think again. America is far from perfect, but it is not Egypt or Libya where an outdated autocratic leader/government had ruled for decades either. The political and fiscal system in the United States most definitely needs an overhaul, and the entire congress probably needs to be replaced, but that's where voting and election comes in and what a democratic system is all about. Overall, USA is still one of the best countries in the free world despite its many problems.

The bottomline is that if you come to my community and you choose to break the law then resist the police then guess what? You are going to get clubbed, tased or sprayed. Dont come crying to me, you deserved it.

I saw news photos of OWS people passing around a hat for donations for bail money for those arrested. If they are so oppressed why didnt they just protest the judge or jail?
