If banks had their way, they'd be giving out volitale loans left and right, decrease the amount of capital on hand to as low as possible, then ask the government for money when that business model failed.

What's your solution if you don't think government regulation will help?
Banks wouldn't give out volatile/risky loans if they weren't forced to. They like their money as much as the next guy.
Deflecting back to this argument, eh? This whole debacle was solely the result of CRA. Ok, I guess we're done here

Not back to any argument. I wasn't bringing up CRA at all, actually. Just applying common sense and basic business logic/practices. Banks had to have a reason to start suddenly giving out loans they never would have in the past, wouldn't they? It doesn't just miracle itself into existence, and the behavior certainly isn't historically what one saw from them.

Y'know, they called the tea party a bunch of terrorists but at least they never called for the murder of law enforcement officers:

This was no where near wall street though.

Those tea partiers are so intolerant and racist...

I'm really surprised that no one has started picking off senators. So much supposed rage in this country and not one soul brave enough to take a shot.

disgusting. people say the movement is violent, but it seems like the only violence is coming from the authorities. how does the police try to justify this sort of behavior?

What ground? You don't stand your ground against cops over some phony BS. Give me a break dude.

Considering that every single video posted on Youtube is one sided...

Cops just walk around in riot gear every day looking to beat people with a billy club? Please. These kids and professors knew exactly what they were doing. I've never seen a Tea Party protest broken up with pepper spray and riot batons. I've never even seen a Westboro Baptist Church demonstration broken up like that. It's always leftist trolls pushing and pushing and pushing and pushing and then saying 'look! he's hitting me! ignore the past twenty minutes when I did everything I could to instigate the violence! I'm the victiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim!'

Trollin and trollin and trollin and then crying when someone rises up and beats you down.

I'll be so fucking pissed if this shit is treated like this generations Kent State or something. At least they were protesting something real back then.

So, what laws were being broken that required intervention by police?
