One voice from Occupy Wall Street has drawn more than two million four hundred thousand hits on You Tube. Former Marine Sgt. And Iraq war veteran Shamar Thomas saw police in New York hurting Occupy Wall Street protesters and he stood his ground face to face with dozens of cops talking truth to power in the streets of New York City. Here’s what Thomas told those cops.

[Thomas]: “Why are y’all doin’ this to people? Y’all walk around in riot gear like it’s the war. These people don’t have guns! This is not a war zone. These are unarmed people. It doesn’t make you tough to hurt these people. Leave these people alone! They’re U.S. citizens! U.S. citizens! It doesn’t make any sense. How do you sleep at night? There is no honor in this! There is no honor in this! Stop hurting these people, man! Why are y’all doin’ this to our people?”

Thomas’ comments to police are especially relevant in the wake of Oakland police putting fellow marine and Iraq war vet Scott Olsen in the hospital with a skull fracture from a police projectile. The occupy movement held vigils for the hospitalized Olsen Thursday.
