I never said death. The police officers aren't trying to KILL people. Just... deter them. Take out their struggles on those who can't defend themselves.
It's a psychological thing going on in their head, where they use the protesters as sort of punching bags. It's a sick way of thinking, but if you read that study I linked, it makes sense.
You have to remember these people willingly chose to be a police officer. They chose it, knowingly or not, because they like power, because they want people to listen to them, because they have delusions of chasing down bad guys, tazing drug dealers, and arresting vagrants.
When they find they can't do this, it becomes repressed and builds up inside. The moment they're allowed to do what they joined the police force to do (knowingly or not), this repression comes out sevenfold, leading to the kinds of unprovoked violence you see on Youtube.
It is wrong for them to attack people, although they may not be able to control it.
It is wrong for a mayor to violate the First Amendment for any circumstances other than widespread health and safety concerns (which is what they got the New York OWS people on, and what they're trying to get the LA OWS people on, justified or not).
It is wrong to send in officers to break up a protest which has not harmed anyone before that point, and has no intentions of revolution or violence.
I don't get where you say nobody is wrong. It's obvious that one side is wrong the moment they try to remove First Amendment rights for a problem that I have seen very little evidence of (none outside of the homeless camps).
The crime you hear about is not from those in OWS. OWS does not smash windows, we do not attack police, and we do NOT murder people.
The stuff you hear about are from anarchists who mistakenly believe somehow it will further the message or right-wingers trying to paint the movement in a bad light. The murder happened in Oakland, several blocks away from the protest site, and involved no OWS protesters in a city famous for a very high violent crime rate.
People who buy into that stuff need to stop watching so much Fox news and look up the facts themselves. Anyone who is a part of OWS has no intentions of violent crime. It's anarchist splinter groups who see the movement as a springboard for their own revolution (revolution being their word, not mine) that cause the broken windows, no one attacks police, and the very few murders are either of questionable or no connection to OWS.
Simply because our movement is an anarchistic commune doesn't mean the majority of us want to impart that onto America as a whole. The anarchists within the ranks (and yes, there are quite a few, with their own tents in the encampment, pushing extreme ideas most protesters won't agree with but allow to stay anyway) may want to do that with violence and revolution, but the movement without its impurities has no intentions of such.
There is a distinction between an OWS protester and the protesters seeking to use the movement for the gain of their own ideas (Communists, Marxists, and Anarchists all have their little areas of the camp; for the most part the only one people tend to lean toward is just a general European-style Socialist area). The media doesn't like to make that distinction. Those who wish to cause violence are not Occupy protesters; it's a good idea to remember that.
