BEATEN COP, "VIOLENT" PROTESTERS II

It turns out that the New York cop who was beaten may very well have been misbehaving himself, as I speculated. From Wednesday morning's
Democracy Now show:

I think we have a lot to investigate here. Indiscriminate arrests is just the tip of the iceberg. We saw a couple of incidents of violence. He must have missed the mopeds, police in plain clothes driving their mopeds into the crowd on Monday night.

here for the rest.

When snooping about the internet researching this story, I read how a plain clothes cop had been pulled from his scooter and viciously beaten: could it be that this cop had driven straight into a crowd, pissing off that East Harlem guy so much that he freaked? Again, I'm totally against beating cops, or anybody for that matter, but the point is that this incident keeps being referenced in the mainstream media without providing any sort of context. Without that context, it's a pretty inescapable conclusion that the protests were violent simply because of the protesters.

Sloppy journalism or pro-establishment agenda? You decide.
