NY police arrest 200 people in protests over shooting verdict

“We want justice, it is as simple as that. I don't care to be arrested, because we are fighting for a reason”

Some 200 people were arrested in New York Wednesday, police said, after city-wide protests against last month's acquittal of three policemen who killed an unarmed black man on his stag night. via China Daily

NYPD has gone too far for too long! And we haven't begun yet to FIGHT. And still people are arrested for peaceful protests. This is supposed to be america, right?! The present government has become a dictatorship and all branches of civil servants are corrupt as cancer! The american populace is at the mercy of thugs! It was once said that "the chickens will come home to roost." I say, look out. And to hell with those who are inconvenienced by this war!

ahhh the american democracy
all these protests are going to do more hurt than good in the way of taxes because the police presence at each protest costs money and with no budget surplus how will they pay,, why out of your paychecks and mine !
