The Police of Wall Street

I can get not agreeing with the protesters of the 99% movement (though not without difficulty).  I can even get being angry with the protesters, but yesterday, when the occupiers of Wall Street were marching, a policeman decided to hit a woman.  Now, why on earth does a policeman need to put his hands on a woman who is participating in a nonviolent protest?  Today, when I participated in a march, they gave us the phone number of an attorney we could call in case we were arrested.  On today’s protest, luckily, the police set an example of what all police departments across the country should be like and protected us.  However, the actions of the police at Wall Street don’t make sense.  The actions shouldn’t make sense.  The policeman at Wall Street was probably just doing what he thought his job was; however, the fact is, he took his job to a terrible extreme that speaks ill of his group.  If it really was okay for him to do what he did, then his “orders” make him no better than any other abusive person and he, too, should be imprisoned with those that his fellow policemen took in yesterday.
