This is what one of them posted on the Occupy Facebook page as the "story" was breaking....
Quote:
Brent Talbot: I am calling for a movement of our Occupation to CPS as we just had one of our members racially profiled and brutely removed for sitting quietly and having a conversation. We have had a constant presence of Bylaw and CPS, since we've been under media blackout!! I was sitting with Chelsea, Marys, Gigi, and S, affery's n...ew dog when two officers from the CPS walked passed me as I greeted them hello gentlemen, but they ignored me a headed straight for Sara. I continued back to my conversation as I could see the officers in my periferal vision. Sara was sitting peacefully talking with someone I had not seen before, but that was nothing new for Sara. A couple minitues later marys eyes showed fear and I glanced over at the officers and they had Sara pinned to the ground. She was spouting in her language which was nothing new for Sara, but I'd never seen any of the other officers lay a hand on her. I walked over with Chelsea the puppy in my hands and asked what Sara was beening arested for? To which we were told not telling us her name. I asked really? The officer responded obstructing justice. To which I responded for having a conversation? Come down to the general Assembly for the rest of the horrifying history and discuss how we can learn fro it and move forward. The vid is following!!

The Media sure goes out of their way to find the dumbest possible protester among the group it seems. They do it on purpose to destroy all credibility of the entire movement.

Looked to me that that video was taken by some of her fellow protesters. You heard them, they love her

One of the protesters was arrested today. I think it was posted by a fellow protester, not sure how it helps promote their cause, except show some aren't playing with a full deck..
Is there an Oscar for this Occupy movement? I'd like to nominate her for worst pain acting...I'm not that great at it myself...but I think this is almost worthy of putting into The Room.

Your post should be permanently pinned as an example of a fail.

Honestly you'd think somebody, anybody within that group would have watched the video and said "you know, this actually makes us look pretty bad. If SunMedia were to air this same clip we sure wouldn't be happy about it"
I see nothing in that clip that would garner any sympathy for their movement, she's being arrested and the police just grin and bear it through her blatant attempts to make a show of it.
Reminds me of this clip of a courtroom dive that would make the Canucks proud:
