I don't care about the protest, it's the police's alleged actions that worry me.
You dont know what the occupy guys did to inspire those actions.

When he was first arrested around 6pm on Tuesday, she said: “The police thought that he was Latino and started calling him Poncho and making racial slurs and sexual gestures. He said the fire department people and paramedics were doing this along with the cops."
Once hospitalised, the man filed a police brutality report, after which the officer recording the complaint told him he would “go to jail for assault or battery of a police officer and resisting arrest,” Anne said. He was then moved from the hospital to the local county jail.
"I talked to him twice now since he’s been in Santa Rita [County Jail] and he said they were basically torturing him there. They beat him in front of a bunch of people including a nurse, and then they took him to another room and they put his head in a toilet, put his hands in a toilet, threw him against a wall." The allegations could not be independently verified.

Still, the police are supposed to protect civilians.

It's this part that I find very upsetting. If it's true it's a very serious offense against democracy in general and the great country of the United States of America.

And that's just because they were the only media that was reporting both sides of the story in Iraq, right?But, USA army took care of that, they bombed their offices in Baghdad.
The way people in my country look at police brutality in USA at these protests is that they don't really know how to act in those kind situations since they probably never had protests of that proportions in USA.
Even Google said that they're under the presure from police of USA to remove certain videos from YouTube. Ah, that sweet thing called democracy.
