Are They Still Pigs? Photo Montage of Burning Cops and Angry Occupiers

     THE POLICE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE part of the 99% percent, according to occupiers at the dawn of the movement.  If you looked beyond CNN, MSNBC, or other mainstream news outlets, it was clear to see that anti-police feelings among protesters was high.  A quick Youtube search, or talking to any of the protesters would expose their views that the police aren't part of the 99%, something protesters claim when they're on the news.  Signs reading 'all my heroes kill cops', and people calling the police 'pigs', suggest the movement's dark underbelly of anti-policism.  Maybe 'police-aphobia'?
     Tensions escalated here in America when the NYPD arrested some 700 protesters for clogging up the Brooklyn Bridge.  In subsequent events, anti-police feelings grew, eventually coming to a head during the Occupy Oakland riots in November 2011, when an Oakland police tear gas canister struck combat veteran Scott Olsen in the head sending him to ICU.  This, or course, sparked total outrage among the already somewhat police-aphobic occupiers. 
     Occupiers have taken that rage, combined it with previous 'anti-pig' sentiment, and the result is F*** the Police day.  While it really didn't get off the ground, F*** the Police day should be an alarm for what might come during the Spring and Summer, considering Van Jones and Adbusters have promised even bigger and better plans than previous Occupy events. 
     If this is the course Occupy is already taking, it's hard to imagine a shift in support of the police.  In Greece, police are routinely attacked with rocks and Molotov cocktails.  The pictures of Greek policemen rolling on the ground while their head is on fire should at the very least raise the question, 'are cops really pigs?'

I don't own or didn't take any of these pictures:
