He tells the NYPD that these are unarmed U.S. civilians, that he was in Iraq 14 months to protect Americans, that this is not a war, they have no guns, there is no honor in hurting unarmed people, that they are supposed to be protecting U.S. citizens. Finally, the NYPD leave in shame. As well they should.
From YouTube (over 1 million views and climbing rapidly):
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).
