NYPD Now Assaulting, Mass Arresting Crowd Of 6000 #OccupyWallStreet Protestors Spanning Over 1 Mile From Liberty Square All The Way Across The Brooklyn Bridge


Watch Live - Occupy Wall Street Protests


Happening live as I write, NYPD police officers have launched new round of mass arrests and brutal assaults against Occupy Wall street protestors. I have watched over 20 people get arrested live so far. Reports say up to 300 have been arrested after the police tricked protestors into splitting up and directed them in the direction of the Brooklyn Bridge as part of Crowd dispersal techniques. Reports are that NY Times reporter Colin Moynihan has also been arrested.

Both sides of the Brooklyn Bridge have been closed off as the line of protestors stretch from end to end. From the west side of the Brooklyn Bridge the line is reported to stretch all the way back to liberty park. There is also a second line stretching back toward city hall, were protestors approached before but the gates were closed to prevent a shut down like the scene reminiscent of Egypt that occurred at NYPD headquarters yesterday. Once diverted from city hall toward the Brooklyn Bridge, protestors had planned on regrouping at Brooklyn Bridge Park but after the bridge filled with protestors, police blocked off both sides. The police are now making there way across the bridge arresting on person at a time and hauling them off in a patty wagon.

While the police led the crowd onto the bridge only to arrest them, they will use the justification the crowd was blocking traffic. They only problem is the NY Times reporter arrested for the crowd already put out the word that the police directed and aloud the crowd to go that way. The question is will the media lie for the NYPD or tell the truth?

    Oh?
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Among some of the cities to join the people's movement are Occupy Los Angeles and Occupy New Orleans (Occupy NOLA) that begin events Saturday. Three movements in Texas alone are beginning occupations in Austin, Houston and San Antonio according to Tweets on Thursday.

    THIS is who many of the so-called protesters really are..

    Van Jones, president of the progressive organization Rebuild the Dream, joins The Last Word to discuss what Washington should be doing about jobs. Jones calls the US' deficit problem "phony" and made up.

    "Hold on to your hats, we're going to have an October offensive to take back the American dream and rescue America's middle class," Jones told MSNBC's "The Last Word."

    Jones warns of an "American Fall" like there was an Arab Spring.

    Jones was President Obama's "green jobs czar" until he resigned in fall of 2009.

    It's not just in this country. I have a friend in Spain and she told me it's happening all over Europe too, it just isn't being reported here. The pinko's have gone nuts.

Yeah, these are the same cowards that packed it in and RAN when that gang of mexicans "protested" the Rodney King affair. The pulled out and left that bunch up there waving the mexican flag. When they can't outnumber you and hammer you half to death, they head to the nearest donut shop and tell war stories. "Gee, chief gates, whatta we do NOW??"

    Won't be any different this time, unless they open up on the crowd with their M-16's. Then it will be all over for them. They haven't a clue as to how to deal with peaceful protest and probably 75-80 percent of them do not have the initiative or skills to properly keep order without becoming violent.

    Most of the youth in this country with skulls full of mush don't even know why corporations have moved over seas!

    These are the same people that want a cheap product made in the USA-

    But want $40 an hour with unskilled labor/trade benefits-
    Want everything environmentally friendly-
    Want full retirement-

    Tell me I am wrong...[:D]
