#OccupyTimesSquare 1 Marine vs. 30 Cops Marine Wins
United States Marine Corps. Sgt. Shamar Thomas from Roosevelt, NY went toe to toe with the New York Police Department. An activist in the Occupy Wall Street movement, Thomas voiced his opinions of the NYPD police brutality that had and has been plaguing the #OWS movement.
Thomas is a 24-year-old Marine Veteran (2 tours in Iraq), he currently plays amateur football and is in college.
Thomas comes from a long line of people who sacrifice for their country: Mother, Army Veteran (Iraq), Step father, Army, active duty (Afghanistan), Grand father, Air Force veteran (Vietnam), Great Grand Father Navy veteran (World War II).
This Guy is a f4cking Inspiration, and f4ck all that talk that hes a spokeperson for african american's! even though im black but... he speaks for every ethnicity out there! hes completely right, we have brutality beating Cops in Canada too, but f4ck.. its not as bad as America though.The world must be coming to an end when 30 plus cops have no reaction to one Black man. normally on any given day, they wouldve beaten the shit out of a "Nigger".

He's a good man; an inspiration, a dedicated man to his people and country. I live in England, but even this touched my heart.

American Revolution Occupy Wall Street Decorated US Marines Sgt Shamar Thomas Stand Up For People Against NYP Police Brutality
This is the ACTUAL MARINE from the Video. I will say 1st that I don't hate the Police or more specifically the NYPD. My Great-Grandfather, Grandfather, Mother, and Step-Father have all served in Combat Zones. I was deployed to Iraq in 04 and 06. My 1st Combat Action was in Fallujah 2004. My parents both served for 20 plus years. We fought for the American Citzens without complaint. All to come home and see INNOCENT Citzens get Brutalize by the Police they must Trust. No HONOR in that. SEMPER FI
@SgtShamarThomasUSMC I know you don't hate the police or the NYPD neither do most citizens ... but your display of outrage so perfectly summed up what many of us feel after what we have been witnessing via citizen reports. My father and grandfather were Canadian veterans in both world wars so i respect and honour you sir. Thanks!

You know your country is fucked up when a soldier gets laughed at by a police officer.
Mad respect to the Marine though, he had the balls to say what everyone else was thinking.

thank god for people like this man.....upholding his oath to serve and protect THE PEOPLE of this country.....not to serve and protect the criminal scum (politicians/federal reserve) ruining this country
The Federal Reserve is a privately owned bank which CANNOT be audited

Blah blah blah SUPPORT THE TROOPS blah blah blah. Then the troops come home from one fight to face this one.
Only the 99% actually support the troops. The 1% robbed them of many of their benefits, and post-service job prospects. The 1% are the ones who invent all the stupid wars, and then send our noble soldiers off to fight for ignoble causes.
I am sick of our soldiers AND OUR POLICE being used this way! We the people need to take our nation back.
