RT and Free Press Reporting "Huge Police Presence in Zucotti after Judge denies Tents!
Edited on Tue Nov-15-11 07:04 PM by KoKo
I'm watching International News and the reporting is incredible... Second Judge overules the first Judge and Zucotti Occupiers CANNOT RETURN with Tents or Sleeping Bags...they must just Stand and Leave..

And, RT was reporting until my internet cut out ...that it's mostly Police "Occupying Wall Street."

It's been incredible covereage...because THE WORLD IS WATCHING...and so many young reporters doing the job that Blitzer, and Networks are NOT DOING!

We are looking like "declining America" to the YOUNG FOLKS all across the world and indeed...even our Own Children!

Go to You Tube and look up "Press TV" and "RT"...and watch!

EDIT: It's "Press TV" on You Tube! That's the link.

1. The post-9/11 New York is not the New York I remember from when I lived there.

It's the incubator for the American Police State.

5. I agree. That is what happens when activist judges usurp the Constitution.

3. I lived in NYC when John Lindsey was Mayor....it was "World's Fair Time"
and NYC was great... Filled with International Folks because of "World Fair" and I was a Starry Eyes Kid..who was all caught up in it! It was an incredible time.. "Beatniks" the fore runner to Hippies and all kinds of wonderful stuff. And, No...I didn't "inhale."

4. Sounds like what's been happening to Occupy Denver...
The pigs have been making a huge show of force - they barely tolerate people standing there and holding signs.

When supporters drive up and drop off supplies at the curb, the pigs aggressively ticket them for "blocking traffic" - even though the cops themselves are presenting more of a traffic obstruction than the supporter pulled up at the curb.

People have been required to walk, so as not to "block the sidewalk" - they arrested people for simply standing with a sign instead of walking.

Fucking nazi pig pieces of shit!

6. Here in North Carolina (Home of the Dem Convention) Police have moved folks off Sidewalks
that We Taxpayers Paid FOR! It's incredible that even Democratic States are "controlled" and if you Protest you are SCUM!

8. "..block the sidewalk"...meaning the "sidewalk that YOU PAID for...
:-( But, yes..that's what's happening here in NC... The "Sidewalks" you paid for are not what you can occupy.

11. The rules are even more fucked up in Denver.
During the day, we're supposed to move our stuff on the grass in the park, but the curfew is at 11:00pm, and at that time, we're required to get off the grass, and we can occupy half of the sidewalk.

And the cops are persnickity assholes about enforcing these rules - and the interpretations differ from cop to cop, meaning the thing that one cop told you to do gets you screamed at and maybe arrested by a different cop.

14. "Embedded or Bedded" with COPS...sounds like a New PBS Mini-Series!
It could bring in ratings better than "Prime Suspect"...if it was done well.. And, those Brits.....really know how to produce a good series!
