Bill O'Reilly: 'Occupiers' Not Going Quietly (VIDEO)



**Opinion**


From the looks of the video, it looks like the NYPD is causing the mayhem, not those that occupy. Are many officers seen in the occupy videos incapable of properly handling a protest situation!? I may be wrong, but if someone is committing a crime, then you either arrest them, summons them, or speak to them regarding such. You don't, however, hit them with batons or drag them physically as if they were a rag doll at your free will. The amount of money that occupy is costing tax payers doesn't begin to compare to the bailouts. Honorable Frances McIntyre was right in her decision, and I agree. With budget cuts all over the place including to law enforcement, how can they spend valuable resources on protests (that many times are in their interest), but not for violent crime!? Therefore, yes, it is in the interest of public safety to not respond to protestors vs. an armed robbery. I don't have to be the Chief of Police to tell you that. If you don't have enough law enforcement resources for violent crime, how can you divert the limited amount you have, towards non-violent crime? Lastly, people die from violent crime - it doesn't have anything to do with protestors occupying.
