Protesters hit with batons: College?*CORRECTION:  These protesters were chanting “stop beating students,” not “stop these students.”  Thanks for the correction. Originally we thought “stop these students” made sense, too, because it could have been construed as a sarcastic, ideological point. In any event, this violence is not acceptable.

UPDATE: Last night, we came across this video.  It had received a few hundred views.  Tonight, it has nearly 200,000.  We predicted this would happen.  But have you seen this story covered by CNN, Fox, or MSNBC?  If you have, let us know.  We have not.

UPDATE 2: You voted, and so far, the results are: This officer should fired.  A lot of voters think this officer should also face criminal charges.  Editors note: Our poll system is designed so that no single person can vote more than once on a particular poll.  Ever.  So, the results you see are accurate.

 

Why did a police officer in this video, after looking in both directions, violently thrust his baton into a protester’s stomach? (See the video below)

*This* is the question that will be on the minds of Americans when this video goes viral. And yes, it most definitely will go viral.


The video ends with loud, passionate, and unified cheers:

Stop beating students!

Seconds before, many were hit with batons.  One particularly harmless looking Asian girl with a big smile on her face was the first to take a beating.

Students at the University of California, Berkeley were protesting in a video uploaded to YouTube (see below) Wednesday, November 9th, 2011. Yes, the students were chanting. Yes, they were loud. But protesters across the country will be outraged when they see this video showing police savagely beating students.

Police Jab Occupy Protester in the Stomach

What the video appears to depict is a law enforcement officer looking in both directions (for reasons we do not know). Directly in front of him stands a girl who appears to be a female protester chanting loudly in his face.

No footage suggests this female protester initiated physical contact.

After looking in both directions, the officer thrusts his baton into the girl’s stomach with extreme force. Then, more and more officers join the mayhem, beating college students like a real-life version of “Super Smash Brothers.”

At the time of this post, the video has only received several hundred views.  UPDATE: A Quarter MILLION VIEWS.  Make no mistake: This will go viral. We predict that it will actually make it on mainstream media networks and that this officer, the coward wearing “helmet number 14,” loses his job. Why? Just watch the video.  It is disturbing as hell. Even Americans who detest the Wall Street Protests and the Occupy movements will raise an eyebrow – how could they not?

We welcome comments from University of Berkeley students, as well as the police department behind this incident.  Contact us.  That goes for Mr. “Helmet 14.”  We hope someone who knows him tells him about this site, because we would love to hear his side of the story.

Whether this is police brutality or not is up to you to decide. Share this article if you think this video deserves attention.

You be the judge.  Then vote after you view:

Sgt. Shamar Thomas will be livid once he sees this (if you missed his classic yet peaceful confrontation with the NYPD last week, you do not want to miss it).

After you watch this video, answer the poll questions below and then go vote on the polls we are sending to Congress.  We don’t care if you support “OWS” or not – as long as you are a U.S. citizen –  make a difference online and we will raise awareness.

The Wall Street Protests and Social MediaWe are curious.  How are you communicating?  Which networks and tools are proving to be the most effective?  Which media outlet is covering the protests with the most accuracy and honesty?

Let us know if there is a method we should add to this poll, email us.  These questions will be sent to media outlets.  To vote on the issues we’re sending to Congress, click here.
