semper fi, Marine Sergeant Shamar Thomas

"THERE IS NO HONOR IN THIS"



Thousands supported Occupy Wall Street in Times Square last night. After several arrests, a U.S. marine began questioning NYPD officers patriotism as well as their courage. New York, NY. 15th October 2011

Quote :

Last night at Occupy Wall Street in Times Square, Marine Sergeant Shamar Thomas boldly defended the occupiers. Sergeant Thomas calmly asked the NYPD why they aren’t protecting the peaceful protestors. The NYPD ignored his questions and continued telling protestors to leave the sidewalk otherwise “they’d get hurt.”

Then, in an epic scene, Thomas approached the line of NYPD officers who held their batons.
While many Occupy Wall Street demonstrators had been arrested for merely crossing the street, he exclaimed, “These are U.S. citizens peacefully protesting! These are the people you are supposed to protect!” The 10-15 NYPD officers he addressed dared not to touch him.
Sergeant Thomas continued denouncing the NYPD’s actions shouting, “This isn’t a war zone! I’ve served overseas, that’s a war zone! Get rid of your batons and helmets!”

After five minutes of severely and loudly criticizing the NYPD, the Sergeant walked away leaving the scorned officers behind. The few people who were there applauded and cheered.

They are protesting in London, but this is kept out of the media. There's actually protests going on in quite a lot of countries worldwide at the moment, Greece, Israel, Portugal, Spain, Iceland, USA etc. etc. etc., yet none of this is in the press either. The ptw don't want you to know that they are losing this battle.

Watch RT television if you want to see what's really going on. The media and press in all other countries BUT Russia is biased and they only let you see what they want you to see! You'd think the globe was at peace from the news that's put out. Everything in the garden is anything but rosey.



Hear this....
