NYC uses cannon on mob

[ELB]

Water cannon, that is.

Yay Fire Deparment, I'm glad to see they had the initiative to go bail out the cops.

Synopsis for when link goes dead:

Girl kept home from school because of bullying. Mob shows up to bully her at home. Two cops sent, get overrun by the mob. Nearby firestation hears cops' distress call, sends engine to blast mob with water cannon. Nine arrested.

EPA should have sent out a HAZMAT team to clean up that filth...

I'd buy a ticket to see that! Maybe that will work on occupy wall street.

Mob is lucky to be alive. The police had every reason to use deadly force. I am glad 8 were arrested. Wish more would have been.

They should use fire trucks to "wash" down Occupiers from parks. Just line a bunch of trucks on one side of the park and open the hoses. Gets rid of the Occupiers and cleans the park from their filth, all in one step.

Do they still have flamethrowers? That would send a lasting message - now and for those considering such rude behavior in the future.

But I bet Pepper Spray would have gotten the cops in trouble...

and politicians wonder why we need AR-15 and AK-47 style weapons in a situation like that a hunting rifle isn't gonna cut it.
