Another show of why the rent of mobs don't like us.

A couple of weeks ago I posted on the morons at UC Davis and how I thought the police there handled the matter poorly. I agree they were justified in use of intermediate force but again it could have been managed better. Now take a look at a similar protest and how the protesters were processed.

20 Occupy Houston protesters arrested

More than 1,000 Occupy Wall Street protesters blocked cargo trucks at some of the West Coast's busiest ports Monday, forcing terminals in Oakland, Calif., Portland, Ore., and Longview, Wash., to halt operations.



Organizers called for the "Shutdown Wall St. on the Waterfront" protests, hoping the day of demonstrations would cut into profits of corporations that run the docks and send a message that their movement was not over.


...Protesters beat drums and carried signs as they marched outside the gates. There were a handful of arrests, but no major clashes with police.


"We are here in solidarity with the West Coast port shutdowns, but we're not here to shut down the port," said Amy Price, an Occupy Houston protester. "We don't want the Houston port workers to lose money. We just want to cause enough havoc to draw a spotlight on what's going on with our port. And the way to do that, we think, is civil disobedience."

No moron, it's hurting people with something you have no concept of. A job. Get a life and apply to McDonald's.
About 60 members of the Houston Police Department, Harris County Sheriff's Office and the Houston Fire Department monitored the demonstration, which began at 1 p.m.

At about 1:45, two groups of protesters - one numbering six and the other 12 - lay on the street, stopping traffic into a two-lane road that leads to the port entrance. Three trucks and four cars were halted before oncoming traffic was redirected to an alternate route.

HFD was called in to cut PVC pipes off of a group of protesters who used the devices to band their arms together. A large red tent was placed over the protesters to prevent sparks, said HPD spokesman John Cannon.

Protesters then came out of the tent individually, were handcuffed and detained by police. Ten protesters were charged with blocking a public roadway, and eight were arrested for using a criminal instrument to block a public roadway.

The demonstrators became increasingly angry during the arrests. Two lay down on the sidewalk, blocking the path of officers on horseback. Both were arrested for interfering with a public servant.

By 3:30 p.m., protesters had cleared out, headed to their next Occupy event - a march in downtown...



Here is Occupy Houston trying to distrupt the port

Lazy as usual

Get a job!

Notice how the turds, err protesters are out numbered here...and see the nice horses in the back.
Then we handcuff them one at a time
And go to jail....
In a little over an hour the idiots were cleared out, no ugly video and most important everyone was safe. Great work HPD.
