Occupy Wall Street hooligan Brandon Watts’ head was injured while resisting arrest. He has been charged with grand larceny and assault.
Yesterday was not the first time Brandon Watts has had a run in with the law. He has been arrested four other times since September 24. In fact he was so proud of his criminal activities, he bragged about them to a Daily News reporter on October 1.
Brandon Watts, whose bloody face was pictured on the front page of Friday’s Daily News, was the first person to set up a residential tent inside the park, a fellow protester said.
“He’s been here since week one,” said the protester, who did not want to use his name. “He was one of the guys who started the whole tent thing.”
He said Watts, of Philadelphia, Pa., put together his tent a day after Jesse Jackson helped protect a medical tent from being dismantled on Oct. 17.
……
On Thursday, Watts stood atop a wall inside Zuccotti Park and tossed objects — including a AAA battery — at cops standing outside the barricade along Liberty St., police said.Suddenly, the 6-foot-1, 160-pound Watts charged the officers and snatched a hat off the head of a deputy inspector, cops said.
Cops caught him as he ran back into the park, but he began to fight back, police said. He was wrestled to the ground and busted his head on the concrete, causing a gash to gush blood down his face.
He was taken to Bellevue Hospital and later charged with assault and grand larceny.
It wasn’t the first time Watts tussled with cops since the Occupied Wall Street movement began downtown.
He has been arrested four times since Sept. 24 for resisting arrest, loitering in disguise, escaping from a prisoner van and stealing orange mesh fencing, police said.
He even bragged about some of the arrests to a Daily News reporter on Oct. 1.
“I got loose from them and I ran and I knocked down the barricades as much as I could,” he said of one collar.
Here is raw video of Watts resisting arrest.
Yet another Occupy Wall Street martyrdom legend/propaganda torn to shreds…

The video they want you to see is this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNsG1szQPqo
The title is: #OWS ZUCCOTTI PARK 11-17-11 PROTESTER BEATEN – ARRESTED
Regardless of what the title claims, there is absolutely no footage of the cops beating Watts in the video. Apparently the video has been heavily edited for propaganda purposes. 38 seconds of Watts being led away by NYPD does nothing to prove that he was beaten.
What a bunch of idiots.
No need to shed any tears for Brandon, he knew exactly what he was doing. Resisting arrest is what he and his kind do. Going in he knew that once he charged riot cops and knocked a hat off of an officer that he would be tackled. And that he would resist with all his strength. Self martyrdom in order to have another slice of propaganda to spoon feed the public.
Mess with the bull, you are going to get the horns.
Stop all the lies you have published about my son he’s a good person and i love him very much Gina Watts.
I am Brandon Watts’ foster sister. My brother had no idea about politics, no clue about any of the things being protested. All he ever wanted was to belong… Somewhere out there he wanted a family. In the people that were protesting he probably thinks that’s what he had! He has oppositional defiance disorder ( which caused him to go against the police) amongst many other things that stemmed from a sad childhood full of abuse and neglect! He’s always defensive of people of authority because none of them ever protected him as a child when he needed them. Hence him attacking the police officer.
Brandon isn’t exactly a hero, as everyone is making him out to be. He’s a very confused young man, who doesn’t understand anything about what’s going on. He probably in jail right now, scared, alone, crying, and confused.
He went to NY originally because he had run away. He wasn’t putting up a tent to join protestors, he was doing it because he had no where else to go. He joined the protests, completely unaware of their meaning and purpose because he wanted to “belong”.
He doesn’t know any better, because he’s never learned anything other than being afraid and fighting for himself.
The world should ask for a no fly zone over America like Syria.This is not the first or the last clip shown around the world about police violance against protesters in America.Maybe the no fly zone is a joke but seriously the way things are looking at the moment, it looks like America could slide into a civil war.if things do not change for the better soon.
A “no-fly zone over America” ARE YOU INSANE?
And can you not read??? Watts was throwing projectiles at the police, then charged an officer touching his person by knocking his hat off. Of course he was tackled! If he was injured during the scuffle that is entirely his fault! Especially since he resisted arrest. Try his stunt sometime and see how far you get.
What would you do if someone did the same to you??? What would Watts do??? I would wager a bet that neither one of you would sit and take it.
I repeat:
F*ck all of you and your lies

“the whole world is LAUGHING at you” and their laughing at you because you are obviously not being oppressed, and the police are obviously not being violent without provocation. In fact, in most cases it appears the protesters are abusing the police. The whole world is watching, thanks to your high dollar cameras, unfortunately for you the whole world is being allowed to see these spoiled brats cry about getting scuffed up a bit when they attack the police, indeed, the whole world is laughing.
