The viewer counter doesn't know if you're listening or not.

12. We are praying that it remains peaceful |
|
However, the more people who are watching, the less likely the police may be to exert force as the police have done in other cities.

that is you putting your own impressions on the posts then because that is not what we want. "Nothing wrong" - they have threatened them with "impact weapons". there is nothing "right" with that.

43. That is a very strange question. |
|
But since you asked, we are disappointed that the police are there, armed to the teeth, threatening to use chemicals against peaceful protesters. And disappointed that no one in elected office has condemned this war on the people, not even after many innocent people have been seriously injured by what are supposed to be our civilian police Departments, which look more like invading armies.
I hope the police leave and go do their job of protecting the public against crime. I hope someone orders them to go arrest the Wall Street criminals who are the reason why so many people around the world are suffering and have taken to the streets. That would be something to cheer for.

46. They're already wrong a hundred times over. Too late for that one. |
|
We just want to see whatever it takes to get them to be stopped from doing wrong from the get-go, not have to wait until they do something blatantly illegal, violent, and stupid - and then wait possibly years to see if the court system will acknowledge it or not.
It's only a job. The cops don't have to be there.
Until you get this, they WILL control you.
It's only a job. If you want a good one, make it yourself, because the era of paternalist corporations doing it for you is OVER.

Weirdly, I've seen this very same issue every time something was either happening or about to at other Occupy standoffs. Coincidence? Maybe...

30. Disagree. It just slows down the bandwidth for people who might actually need it... |

...too much traffic could shut it down.
Do we want to shut down the feed?
No, we do not want to shut down the feed.

there are 3 streams running right now - if our so called national "news" channels won't cover it - we have the right to watch it by whatever means we can. there is going to be good footage later regardless but it only happens live once - people should be watching IMO.

Fully geared against their tear gas and smoke bombs.
Thank you Portland for obeying the laws and your presence.

54. Glad to see it is remaining peaceful so far. |

Was really impressed w/the earlier KGW interview w/the woman whose son is a police officer (there in riot gear). She said she supports her son and she also supports the Occupy movement. She said she was there to bear witness to both sides and was glad everyone was showing restraint. (She'd moved from NYC recently and didn't think it would have been possible there.)
