Protesters march on NYPD headquarters
Source: Raw Story

NEW YORK — About 2,000 anti-corporate demonstrators marched Friday from a protest camp they have occupied near Wall Street to the headquarters of the New York Police Department.

The noisy but peaceful rally was the largest since anti-Wall Street activists occupied a small park in lower Manhattan two weeks ago to protest corporate bailouts and corporate influence in politics.

“We got sold out!” the crowd chanted as it snaked through rush hour traffic, closely shadowed by columns of police.

............

It was the first time the protestors tried marching on New York’s high-tech police headquarters at One Police Plaza, the nerve center of one of the world’s most sophisticated security services.

2. Eventually the tear gas will come out, then rubber bullets, and then eventually
another Kent State style execution to keep the masses in line so the common folk don't get any ideas that they can peacefully protest TPTB, but rather to fall in line like well bred lambs/serfs and obey.

3. I kinda wish they would march on Fox News and MSNBC
They are only a block apart and it would certainly be aimed at the people causing a lot of the problems right now.

5. Asking them to join...
Direct communication.


You may see it as taunting. We are in disagreement.
