Artist's Comments

This man threw water on a pro-war agitator at a anti-war protest. He didn't resist his arrest in any way. Five policemen jumped on him and slammed his head against the curb twice, stuck their knees excrutiatingly into his back and made a bigger production than needed. Yes what he did wasn't nice or acceptable behavior of an adult. Neither party were pleasant. But the police action taken was unusually cruel. I would like to urge anyone witnessing police brutality to stand witness, take pictures and send words of encouragement to those in the throws of oppressive agression. Power to the peaceful!

Oh my gosh, that looks so painful! I mean, it was only water. Those officers should be reported for abuse to a civilian and stripped of their badges!

The sad thing is no one is ready to stand up. So like I said never pass by this type of oppression. Stop take note. Be a witness. Make sure you make stern eye contact with the cop and shake your head. Give support to those being oppressed. If the people are united they will never be divided!

ugh..

this always makes me so fucking angry...
if I were a little less intelligent.. I would had reacted by physically trying to take out the cops...
haha.. not that I'd win or anything..

I would had poured water on the pro-war asshole anyways...

Yeah he was highly annoying. We butted heads earlier on. I don't know how you can openly support war. Especially in Washington. How is the Iraq War in anyway supportable?

I know! Well there has to be some idiot with a megaphone I guess. But typically it's only like one or two. Except at Pride Parade. There is a small mob. But no one even cares about them!

Staying silent is a nuetral act. Speak up and be heard! Silence only helps the oppressor never the oppressed.
