Having said that, Oakland police didn't do what they did because of a lack of permit.

The Mayor of Oakland has apologized and the interim chief of police has opened an investigation. At this point we don't even know what happened as the police received reports of unsanitary conditions and violence but protesters said there was no such thing.

We don't know if any laws were broken as the investigation is not complete. So I ask again, why do those protesting economic inequality get sprayed with tear gas and rubber bullets when Westboro Baptist Church doesn't?

GFY is the judge and jury? Good to know.
You seriously need to lighten up man. The Westboro Baptist Church protests in small groups and they follow the letter of the law. Yes they are reprehensible pieces of shit but they keep their groups small and don't do anything to incite police.

You ever listen to the Opie and Anthony Show on Sirius/XM? They have an intern that goes to the OWS in NYC every day and is completely for the cause, and even he admits that there are tons of shit bags with different agendas that are also protesting and inciting police. Trust me, no one distrusts police more than me, but the OWS protests are so big that there are plenty of idiots fucking it up for the legitimate protesters. In addition, the NYPD officers that are assigned to OWS fucking hate being there. They have retirement and pensions that they can lose if they are caught on camera doing something stupid, and everyone there has a camera.

OWS has no clear agenda, and because of that every homeless person, drifter, and crazy person with an agenda is hanging out there and it's a recipe for disaster...
