I've looked at several of the videos of the police/protester interaction,

and I have the impression that a lot of the officers do not want to be there doing what they're being told to do. Some are very enthusiastic about going after the protesters, but i see a lot of people in blue engaging in a slow down.

1. Some are aware that they are agents of a state

that is set up to protect people that aren't worthy to lick their feet.

If I wanted to set up a killer même, I'd make sure that there were plenty of signs that conveyed that sentiment. It's powerful, it's sympathetic, but most importantly, it's true.

"Wall Street Crooks aren't worthy of kissing NYPD's FEET!"

Heck, if anyone wants, I'll lay out a strategy for turning more people to the cause. It's in their own best interest anyhow.

2. It is important to treat them with respect. Even as they beat us. Gandi used that to

defeat the British. At some point the police refused to beat the helpless people. If you fight back, you give justification for their violence.

No violence. Easy for me to say, I am sure it is hard to do.

4. I was wondering about that myself - wondering if simple silence

might be as effective as all the chanting. I'd go for only slow drums myself - a funeral beat is hard to mock.

5. There was one cop in black in the mace scene...

who had his hands open like he was saying, what the hell
