      <![CDATA[Mirk: "[F]alling to the ground," how? Did he trip over his own feet? I know you're not claiming he fell off a horse, since none of the five mounted officers were ever at any point forced out of the saddle; all five police equestrian helmets remained always visible above the crowd until they left, leaving behind several reeking piles of feces.<br>
<br>
frankieb: Failure to comply with a lawful order is a clearly defined criminal offense with clearly defined penalties, and getting your ass kicked by the officer on the scene isn't one of them. Force is allowed to the extent necessary to effect an arrest and/or protect officers and the public. I don't want anyone carrying a gun on my behalf who can't take a nonviolent suspect into custody without injuring him.<br>
Aren't police supposed to be the "good guys?" And good guys don't beat up people. If that doesn't fly with you, Daraa or Homs may be more your kind of place than Portland.

      <![CDATA[First of all HORRIBLY WRITTEN ARTICLE, S. Mirk. Nice how you mention the "injured police officer," who was "luckily ok." IS HE INJURED OR IS HE OK?? HE CANT BE BOTH. Also, you have no mention on the man who is in critical condition in the hospital after being beaten with clubs by the police.. but I guess that doesn't really concern you.. does it?

He asked for it, and he got it. That is usually what happens when you don't follow a cops instructions.<br>

      <![CDATA[@nwspirit - The "causing him to fall over and be injured" phrasing is awkward because it's not clear whether the officer was injured by the projectile itself or from falling to the ground afterward. <br>
<br>
@DamosA (and others looking for info on the protester injured) - All the info I have on him is in this post from this morning: <a href="http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/BlogtownPDX/archives/2011/11/14/video-injury-reported-at-occupy-portland" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://blogtown.portlandmercury.com/Blogto&hellip;</a>

      <![CDATA[I'm not sure why it is being reported that Matta threw the firework, or that the crowd pushed him out. Both those statements are false. I was next to him. the firework came from over our heads, from the crowd somewhere. He was separated from the crowd by the mounted police after the riot police repeatedly hit him with batons. He was never pushed from the crowd, unless you mean the crowd of Portland police in riot gear.

      <![CDATA[Our emperors have no clothes. Our emperors have no shame. These governors, mayors, city councils, police chiefs and street cops of America need to realize that it is NOT UP TO THEM whether or not Americans peaceably gather, protest, discuss, or demonstrate. It's up to a document called the US CONSTITUTION. You can beat us and arrest us and tear-gas us, you can try to "permit" us to death....but you can't kill an idea. You can't keep down a people’s hopes and dreams for a better life.....a life with dignity and freedom....for us, and for our kids. With OWS America has found it’s voice, and that voice demands fairness and justice - for ALL. This land IS our land! AND WE WANT IT BACK! We want our LIVES back! We want our FUTURE back! But it’s much more than words.... it’s much more than politics..­.. it’s your LIFE, and how you want to live it. Find a quiet place somewhere, and consider this: Each of us has only one brief life....on­e chance....­one roll of the dice....and many choices. The time has come to choose....to risk...and to act. If not now...then when? If not you, then....who? You DO have the power my friend....and the choice IS yours. Don’t let your dreams die....<br>

      <![CDATA[to the person who feels holding the parks are unrelated to the protests, for my part, it is the only think that I really relate to. Taking back parks, vacant lots, abandoned buildings for us to meet in since the Union houses had to be sold (or we would be able to be out of the rain holding these meetings now) due to the corporations busting them by lobbying out protections and worse,taking back foreclosed homes, taking back buildings meant for social services, planting gardens in vacant lots, overspilling it all with a creative and people/environment oriented way of existence is the only thing these protests are truly about. Not just cashola

      <![CDATA[I have to say, i'm a tad surprised that things ended out fairly well for the most part - so far. Considering the thousands of citizens who were at Occupy last night, the fact that there has been only one arrest (and one very minor injury to a cop) certainly says alot. <br>
<br>
And i think it's real fucking funny how many people (including many so-called "liberals") have been feigning concern over anarchists and Black Bloc "causing trouble", when it's actually been right-wing dummies who've been the ones clamoring for violence!<br>
<br>
You should've seen all these conservatards bitching and whining on Faux12Oregon calling for the police to use MUSTARD GAS, rubber bullets, and fire hoses (like they did to Civil Rights activists back in the 1960's). Even threatening to go down there and start shooting! Many people are far more concerned about some goddamn football game then the state of affairs in this country.

      <![CDATA[am so proud of portland and occupy portland . . . imagine these videos all over the world just like we watch the ones in the middle east . . . am thinking that of the one percent, only a few crippled distorted people do not know that you have to have a strong base to hold up a pyramid . . . even the I Ching says so . . . those who want to hang out at the pinnacle and peak better make a strong base or the people will topple them . . . just of few morons can make this necessary . . . our occupy eugene has a self-policing committee so that there really cannot be infiltrators generating false imagine of member violence . . . here's to portlandia . . . thanks all you splendid people at the birth of the new way we will live . . .
