“Deeply concerned” police sergeants are coming out swinging today against obnoxious Wall Street protesters, saying they plan to “pursue legal action” against demonstrators who injure any of its members.
Ed Mullins, president of the NYPD’s Sergeant’s Benevolent Association, said his group plans to pursue legal claims against Occupy Wall Street protesters should they cause injury to any of its 5,000 members.
“In light of the growing violence attendant to the ‘Occupy’ movements across the country, particularly as evidenced by the recent events in Oakland, I am compelled to place these so-called ‘occupiers’ on notice that physical assaults on police officers will not be tolerated,” he said.
What is the deterrence in suing a bunch of jobless, homeless riffraff?
It never happens this way in a protest. Ma Nishtaneh Haprotest Hazeh Meekol Haprotests?!?
I thought if a person injures a police officer, they go to jail. They also get sued? That’s a new one.
