Yeah it is a really big problem. Why does this sort of thing happen?

Police brutality is a big problem, As you can see those fat pigs beating on some school kid.

Your revolution is over. The bums have lost. My advice is to do what your parents did: Get a job!

F*** the police!

I am the original poster of this video. Here is a longer version of it with more lead-up:

Nov. 19, 2009: Students Occupy New York Streets

More lead up but no context. It clearly shows you kids are destroying an event with your hipster stench and then bothering police officers at their station.

I hope someone gets sick of this shit and beats you down (someone whose not a police officer) and when the police do come to the rescue, they watch till the end because you caused them so much trouble in the past.

You DO realize that living in this city and paying its taxes, you are funding the people that beat the shit out of you? But I guess that's a good thing too.

Brats vs Pigs discussion aside, there is something beautiful about this video.

Cops get some exercise, and the students probably feel all the more vindicated in their "fight". They need eachother!

Look at it this way: do you really want California kiddies to flee their tropical paradise due to skyrocketing tuition and come here to bitch about the lack of medical marijuana stores and decent Thai food, then commandeer Starbucks bathrooms while yapping loudly into their iphones about what a "hella great place NYC is"?

but new school and nyu are "commuter schools," for "real new yorkers"!

gug gug gug gug gug guguuuuuuh

Attention student activists/pussies: If you don't like the tution at your private school, vote with your feet and go to a less expensive school. Also, occuaption = trespassing = crime = arrest. Resisting arrest = force by the police.

If any real New Yorker feels bad about out of town white kids running around in their tough guy black hoodies giving the police and working people a hard time, give me a break.

I'd bet the NYPD has a lot more diversity, and is more likely to come from NYC and from lesser means than these "radicals." Real "oppresive." Please!

Well said.

Something's fishy with their math. They themselves report a "32 percent tuition hike," compare http://registrar.berkeley.edu/Registration/feesched.html for what 32% would look like (certainly more than what you're quoting, even though what you're quoting, by the way, ends up adding up to >$15K extra over the course of 8 semesters, i.e. a 4 year degree).

Er, this was supposed to be a response to "tingo" above re: the amount of the tuition hike.

They were arrested because the two students started throwing pies at the NYPD (hello!?). These are the same two fools who recently threw pies at two speakers at an NYU event (see gawker). They're just looking for attention, they wanted to get arrested. They're simply extremists.

Ok, if they really did pie-in-the-face Ayn Rand Institute people, I suppose I can't stay mad at them forever. That is kind of awesome. Although, I wish they'd tone it down with all the shouting and name-calling and sloganizing and such; a good pie-to-the-face should be a sudden surprise, I think.

get back to workstudy, kid.

I don't support police brutality (though I'm not sure this is an example of it), but ever noticed every one of these videos has some shrill-voiced girl screaming "what the FUUUUCK". It's like nails on a chalkboard.

I love these comments about American freedom and how it's so much worse in other countries. But if shit like this has happened when dozens of universities across the UK were occupied last year, it would have been a national scandal.

I agree. Check out France. When they protest, its something to behold.

If the government taxes cheese, the next day 2 Million people will be on the streets of Paris with cars burning.

thats a democracy
