"You certainly cannot take over a New York City street. That is a serious situation. We have emergency vehicles to get through, people have actually jobs to get to, unlike these protestors, apparently," said Vallone. "And the police have every right to use the force that they deem necessary to arrest if people aren't cooperating."
Vallone went on to say he believes the NYPD acted well within its rights.
Okay, Queens Residents , please be advised that your councilman, Peter Vallone has basically accused people that are trying to call attention to crimes against all of us committed by Wall Street executives, of being unimportant and jobless nuisances.
Speaking from a location that does not look like where the Wall Street protestors seemed to be and not an eye witness to police actions that took place, this "councilman", a representative of his constituents, is making comments without direct knowledge about events occurring toward citizens that are upset with criminal activity and legally protesting.
Apparently, abusing protestors is okay when you can baselessly assume that they are all unemployed according to this elected official.
Please take that into consideration next time you are voting for Queens City Council.

That's a politician for you. Heartlessly callous, self-serving and hypocritical. It's the taxes paid by those who still have jobs that pay his salary. Or does he think he deserves everything he has, i.e., is better than those he would have abused and arrested and those who have no jobs are worthless human beings?

When I saw this on New York 1 this afternoon, I was just floored by the stupidity and offensiveness of the comments made by Queens Councilman Peter Vallone. Please share with as many Queens residence as you can.
