The blatant brutality being used by the New York City police really makes me reconsider envisioning them as heroes. After 9/11 they seemed pretty heroic, but now they look more like Nazi Brown Shirts.
In this video clip they just run up and slug a demonstrator in the face. He was doing NOTHING! To top it off, he was HIV positive and the policeman was spattered with his blood. I doubt if they ever considered any health risk to themselves or the protestors, they just want to hit people.
Sad considering the police are underpaid and every bit as much the victim of Wall Street excesses as the protestors.
