I wanted to like this but it just annoyed me. I think this would be like someone going to a group of soldiers and screaming at ALL of them because of Abu-Ghraib. Chances are, these cops haven't abused any of the protesters and it's even likely that many of them agree with much of the "occupiers" complaints.

Perhaps if the video had the context that surrounded it. If this Marine saw, first hand, police violently abusing citizens (and perhaps he did) then I might have more sympathy for his inarticulate case.
