Today was a challenging day- both for Occupiers, and for the police. Fortunately, the majority of police acted in an entirely professional manner. And, yes, that was expected- after yesterday’s brutal violence, it was doubtful many cops would want to escalate further.
Should we name him Officer Roadkill?
That said, there was one police officer who was totally unprofessional today, Officer R. Outlett #95544 truly crossed the line- on two counts! Perhaps he was unhappy being given the ‘grunt work’ directing traffic- or, perhaps he had a bad experience in his personal life. Regardless, there was no excuse for his behaviour.
A couple Occupiers observed a disturbing interaction he had this afternoon. When asked “where should I go now?” by a motorist, he responded saying “Do us all a favour and run them over!”
I went up to take his picture when I noticed he had pulled-off his name tag from his uniform! So, not only does this guy try and incite violence with the general public- but the coward tried to hide his identity after doing it! Here’s the video of my calling him out on his cowardly behavior: (sorry for the sideways video)
Can I suggest that assholes like Officer Roadkill and Officer Bubbles have a lot of responsibility for the growing gap between the police and the general public? If they can’t handle acting like professionals, they should be thrown off of the force…
