If you are as outraged by this video as I am, I ask that you share it and raise your voice to condemn the use of excessive force by the NYPD on nonviolent Wall Street protestors. I called the Mayor's office (212 788-2958) and was immediately forwarded to NYPD. After talking to a few people, I was given this email to register my complaint- dcpi@nypd.org. I hope many are calling and writing!
In spite of the police brutality, something momentous is happening on Wall Street and around our country. OccupyWallSt.org reports that "52 cities in America are occupied or organizing" in solidarity, but the media still is hardly covering it. Join FAIR's action to tell the major news networks to report on what is happening there!
It is the beginning of a massive protest movement in this country against a financial system that unfairly benefits corporations and the rich at the expense of the other 99% of us. Today is day 10 of the Wall Street occupation. The protestors have had Michael Moore, Chris Hedges, Immortal Technique and others stopping by to offer encouragement.
Chris Hedges said it all-
This is a defining moment and these, mostly young, protestors deserve our support and gratitude. Let's not forget what happened at the 2008 GOP political convention when activists were charged with "conspiracy to riot in furtherance of terrorism." Watch the trailer from the documentary "Terrorizing Dissent." Without a means to expose and fight a corrupt, closed and grossly unequal system, we lose our democracy and a chance for a better future. Support the Wall Street occupiers and join them if you can!
