Occupy Wall Street Mass Arrest Resembles Infamous, Costly Police Tactic, Critics Say
Occupy Wall Street Mass Arrest Resembles Infamous, Costly Police Tactic, Critics Say
tactics and plants are being used, do not fool yourself. What I always had hoped to believe was not really happening, after being there, my hoped belief was shattered into reality. Today when I was standing with my sign calling out last nights brutality, One of the White Shirts, now disguised spent a good 20 attempting to intimidate me by standing in front of me 1 ft away, and constantly asking me and another guy if we were ok. I refused to acknowledge him or speak to him, but I did take pics for protection

they just don't understand that we can't be labeled, someone asked me on an interview where I stood, I personally couldn't care what party or if you were pink with purple polka dots, I want someone who is honest, compassionate, human, realistic, and NOT LYING! There is no party for that, just humanity

"The Badger State uprising last spring and Occupy Wall Street today are in some ways starkly different—but have been fueled by the same profound crisis."
Thu Oct. 6, 2011 3:00 AM PDT —By Andy Kroll
"The comparisons were inevitable. As Occupy Wall Street gathers momentum and new allies, progressives have quickly connected it with the other headline-grabbing uprising this year: The mass protests in Wisconsin against Gov. Scott Walker's attack on labor unions. A statement from leaders of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees union, which endorsed Occupy Wall Street this week, was typical: "Just as a message was sent to politicians in Wisconsin, a clear message is now being sent to Wall Street: Priority number one should be rebuilding Main Street, not fueling the power of corporate CEOs and their marionette politicians."

"I have not had a chance to read this article by Andy Kroll yet but I look forward to doing so. If you want to comment after you have read it I will try to join in. As a Wisconsin protester now going into my 9th month of nearly full time protesting, I can SHARE with you my own thoughts about some of these things. However mostly what I would like to do is to support all of you in exploring the issues, and entering what will be without a doubt numerous nasty realities. I have my own homework to do to try to figure out this Wall Street puzzle. I have been a fan and follower of Adbusters for several decades, so I do have a handle on their concerns and support them. That being said, let's dig in and critically UNPACK some of these theories and see what things look like. I am curious as to who you are reading, what you are thinking and how you think things should proceed. The plan is to do this TOGETHER and the process of working together, sharing ideas and information will be a very important aspect of this movement. (I have not had a chance to look at many of the formal materials from the Wall street facilitators, so for those of you who have been more involved, please correct me if you think I am going astray. THANKs to All of you for your courage and commitment to a better world. I anticipate developing relationships with many of you during this process." Bev Richey from the FAcebook Message attached to this post.
