Did you see any people in a Tea-Party protest got randomly attacked and pepper spary by the police? They got attacked bascially because they are recording video and you know how law enforcement hate being taped. Funny how we lecture other countries about how their government should not attack their protesting citizens and then the world saw videos like NY police attacking peaceful protesters here. :rofl --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/occupy-wallstreet/260647)._
