Wow. WOW. Iraq Vet, Sargeant Shamar Thomas, faces down Officers from the NYPD and tells them straight up: “There is no honour in hurting unarmed civilians.”

I hope that he softened some NYPD hearts, because this movement is also in their benefit. They are among the 99% and this movement is for them as much as it is for every other American citizen.

*My apologies for being a little absent of late; I have been spending most of my time on learning about the #OccupyEVERYTHING movement and so not much in the mood for writing anything else. I promise to write something new soon…forgive the slowness until then.

Thank you.
Love you.

Maha .. Saying that there is no honor in hurting unarmed people is clearly great but I must say this Iraq war veteran seems to believe it is OK to do this to Iraqis but not to US citizens. He keeps saying, you want to hurt people , go to iraq but these are US citizens.. I would have hoped to have him show the same compassion to the unarmed Iraqi /afghani people killed by US soldiers that he is showing to the US citizens. then again, those Iraqis and afghanis are collatoral damages not people 🙁

I fully agree with him on the occupy xxx part. I just wish he saw all lives as equally worthwhile.
