But it is not the truth that is important here….
It seems as if it is a bit more opinionated than just the truth.
You see just as Troy Davis deserved to be killed by execution for the crime of being convicted unjustly then so too did those protesters deserve what ever they got simply by implication,after all were they not protesting,yes they were.
That’s enough here in this country now a days.
thank you for posting this, John.
It adds more to the story that wasnt being told and yet i still have many more questions.
It is testament to the fact that there should be NO laws against videotaping ANY kind of public servant.
Obviously there were abuses in this particular incident.
I would be interested in a detailed newspaper article that gives the specifics as to who ordered the police control, just what the protesters did or didnt do to comply with the police orders and who and how many were injured on either side.
During the 60s and 70s agents were placed inside demonstrations to instigate trouble in peaceful demonstrations. I saw that happen many times, and pointed them out to demonstration organizers. That would be harder to do these days, because of video cameras, and cell phones with cameras. That’s why some of the white shirt senior officers ordered the beatings in this case. They wanted trouble, and needed to prevent the news from getting out
Lawrence also mentioned officers saying “Please” and “Thank you” to demonstrators, as they were doing their crowd control. These days, some of the cops will be on the side of the demonstrators, since they’ve got no reason to like Wall Street, or for that matter, Republican union busting of state employee unions.
I’ve been watching the live feed from the Plaza every now and then on the Occupy Wall Street website. Here’s a link to their site to make it easier for everybody….
Last night on the evening news I saw a snippet report on the demonstration and the police actions against the demonstrators. If New York, and the other cities involved, want this all to go away allowing the police to go in and rough up the demonstrators is not the way to accomplish that goal. The more police action that is taken against the demonstrators, the more the news will cover the demonstration because blood and bruises attract viewers. The police are giving the media what it needs to cover this story and if the demonstrators stay in the Plaza long enough, it will be on all news coverage.

All one has to do is open one’s eyes if one wishes to see the truth. :groovy:

I watched this last night. So glad I did. At least this story is finally getting some coverage.
I’m guessing the corporate boardrooms are wringing their hands over this as they want this all to go quietly away.
