Officer’s Arrest Sought in Pepper-Spray Incident

[harvey007]

Source: Wall Street Journal

A lawyer for an anti-Wall Street protester hit by pepper spray while being detained by police asked the Manhattan District Attorney to arrest the police inspector at the center of the controversy.

In letter sent Tuesday on behalf of protester Kaylee Dedrick to Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, attorney Ronald Kuby demands that the prosecutor file assault charges against Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna and place him under arrest.

1. Justice works slowly

but time is on the side of justice.

[coalition_unwilling]

7. Do you think we shall ever see Bush and\or Cheney or any members

of their Junta in the dock for war crimes and crimes against humanity?

[EFerrari]

14. I have a dream

[txlibdem]

17. Love that sign - can someone put it on every billboard in the nation, please.

:thumbsup:

[malaise]

23. Wicked sign dat!

Wish I could Rec it :hi:

[ThatsMyBarack]

24. Stole 4 Facebook:

Sure to piss off my Republican friends there....

[ZombieHorde]

42. Lincoln, Gandhi, MLK, and JFK all get shot; Cheney lives forever.

If Karma is real, it works in the opposite way we say it does.

[No Elephants]

10. In some sense, perhaps. But, time is the enemy of justice as well.

Statutes of limitation run out on all crimes but murder;

witnesses die or forget;

the victim or the perp dies before "justice" is done;

horrific criminals, such as pedophile priests and Klansters, live their lives exactly as they wish for seventy or eight years, protected by their communities, before they get arrested; and a

the effects of some injustices, like slavery and homophobia, last for centuries, even millenia.

20. Time is on the side of the 1%ers. They live better and longer. nt

[Demeter]

2. Yes, and we will see what happens

in the Bad Apple

[midnight]

3. Then move to have the cops who are beating our vets for peace arrested.

[Aaria]

28. That's probably why they did it at night, can't identify anyone as the perp.

[TheDebbieDee]

4. Cyrus Vance? Wasn't that the name of the US Sec of State for Carter?

This guy must be a son or grandson.............

[markpkessinger]

30. Yes. The Manhattan DA is his son n/t

[Bette Noir]

5. 'Bout time.

[dotymed]

6. Arrest their own? Even when they assault an officer of the court,

they are right. Remember your history? FDR called in the federal troops to protect the demonstrators from the police. I don't think we'll have a real president like that appear.

[coalition_unwilling]

8. FDR? Do you mean JFK? I've never heard of FDR calling in

federal troops to protect demonstrators from police. Not saying he didn't just that I've read many of the histories of the New Deal era and none mention it.

9. Probably referring to the Flint Sit-Down Strike:

[coalition_unwilling]

11. Thanks. Forgot about Flint (although they were strikers and not

'demonstrators' per se). But thanks for the clip.

[Dont call me Shirley]

33. Yes, I belive when the auto workers were striking in Detroit in the late 30's.

Just saw a doc about that on FreeSpeech TV.

[RuthK]

16. Hoover and FDR

No. Hoover sent troops in against the demonstators. FDR sent his wife in to talk to them. (She was a greater liberal than FDR.) She talked to them. I've seen old newsreels of this. They ended up having a square dance.

[txlibdem]

18. Thank you Ruth

That post reminded me how an effective leader handles crises. I had such hope for Candidate Obama, hope that he was going to turn out to be the second coming of FDR. Nowadays I just feel betrayed.

[dotymed]

27. Yes, I was referring to the "Flint sit down strikes"

IMO, that doesn't change the narrative. We had a President who understood that the workers (demonstrators) had a RIGHT to the redress of their grievances. Instead of calling in the National Guard to protect corporate interests, he called them in to protect the citizens.

JFK protected our citizenry against the corporate goons also. We have not had a President willing to protect our citizens over the corporate thugs since then.

It is time to start over. People before profits should be a given, internationally. Sadly it seems that while developing foreign nations (mainly third world) are willing to enforce this doctrine, America has become corporatized.

12. Hope it happens.

[Cherchez la Femme]

13. “there is no reason, except politics, to delay charging and arresting D.I. Bologna"

I thought 'some are more equal than others' was indicative of a Communist country,

yet it's all over our Capitalist society within this country

[Hubert Flottz]

15. The NAZIS are here...

They have been since about 1913.

[Kingofalldems]

19. Kick this for law and order

[Tsiyu]

21. In the United States of America

NO one is above the law.

Whether he is prosecuted or not, Bologna is a criminal who assaults innocent people with an intent to do harm. Little Mussolini...

He is no better than a gang banger.

Let's hope he does some real time.

[ZombieHorde]

36. Isn't Bush above the law? nt

[Dragonfli]

38. According to at least one constitutional scholar, he and several others are above the law.

It was an easy interpretation of the law really, just read the notes that Nixon scribbled on the back of the constitution (right next to bush's skid marks from when he needed toilet paper) and then extrapolate for all the collaborators of the above the law president as well as some wealthy investment bankers for good measure.

I think the scholar also scribbled next to Nixon's notes "the law is for the lesser people".

See, all legal now (well, for SOME anyway, those more equal than others)

[Tsiyu]

39. No, although he's not in prison

he's still considered a criminal by anyone with any sense.

He thinks he's above the law...and the law hasn't caught up with him yet, but I have hope it will. Eventually.

[Raine1967]

22. Cy Vance is currently protecting Wall Street.

He's the fellow that refused to indict Dominique Strauss-Kahn.

I appreciate Kuby trying-- but Cy Vance is fairly bought and sold.

Edited to add this video: http://www.vimeo.com/25966892

Some of it is kinda silly, but it contains some really important information with regard to Vance, Morgenthau and Wachtell-Lipton law firm, who are currently representing many banks on Wall Street.

[sabrina 1]

32. Cyrus Vance is not the problem. The hierarchy in the NYPD

and the Wall Street Mayor, Bloomberg, are the problem. And he was right not to go forward with the case against Strauss Kahn on false charges. He was wrong to indict him in the first place, but he corrected the error thankfully. You must not have read much, other Murdoch's 'reporting', about this case. What was accomplished however was to replace the head of the IMF with Wall St's choice and to keep the Globalist, neo-liberal Sarkozy safe from a political challenge, although the state of France's affairs now will likely lose him the next election anyhow. Once that was accomplished, the false charges were dropped.

NYPD Commissioner, Ray Kelly is a close friend of Sarkozy and collaborated in the false arrest of DSK and should be investigated for his role in that travesty of justice.

25. I hope they win, but not laying any bets on it.

[Auntie Bush]

26. Good for Kaylee. Put Bologna in really tight handcuffs till his fingers turn blue

after accidentally giving him a dose of Mace in the face.

[KansDem]

29. Perhaps throwing him on the ground and putting a knee to the back of his neck

...would make for a nice statement.

[avaistheone1]

31. k&r

Thank God.

[defendandprotect]

34. Rightly so --- !!!

[notadmblnd]

35. An the next question shold be, was he being paid by the department or by the bank?

Seems there could be huge lawsuits here.

[KansDem]

37. It's been 17 days now, why hasn't this man been arrested?

"Sought?" They know were he lives, don't they? They know where he works, don't they? Why is he still being "sought?"

[complain jane]

40. The guy's name is Tony Bologna?

[Fire Walk With Me]

41. Tony Baloney. That chant might have driven him into the police force.
