The mood at Occupy Wall Street has become as much anti-police as it had been anti-capitalism. On Friday, several thousand people left the movement’s base at Zuccotti Park in Downtown Manhattan, just a block from the Freedom Tower, and marched up the sidewalks of Broadway and Park Row to NYPD headquarters, bordered by a line of police and stopping traffic as they crossed the street. Three helicopters, presumably police, buzzed overhead.

Protestors chanted “racist, sexist, anti-gay! NYPD go away!” as they walked in a line led by three members of Grannies for Peace. At the rally outside 1 Police Plaza, speakers criticized recent and past actions of the police. (Last Monday, Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna deployed pepper spray, apparently unprovoked, on several women and then, in a separate incident, on a news photographer.)

The cops have prohibited the protestors from using sound amplifiers like megaphones, so demonstrators are employing a system called the People’s Microphone: a speaker says a few words, which are repeated in shouts by those nearby, which are repeated by those a little farther back, until it has passed in a wave through the whole crowd. (It’s charming but, ultimately, an exhausting way to communicate.)

Speakers also asked the crowd to remain calm and peaceful, which it did—no one was arrested; much of the crowd marched back down to Zuccotti Park when the speeches ended shortly after 7 p.m. (Another march on Saturday across the Brooklyn Bridge resulted in the arrests of 700 people, the AP reported.)

Earlier in the day at the park, a crowd of hundreds grew over the afternoon into thousands. Many in the park said it was the largest attendance they’d seen since the protests began almost two weeks ago. Some were Radiohead fans responding to rumors earlier in the day that the band would play at 4 p.m. Some were press. (“There’s probably $25 million of camera equipment in here,” one reporter cracked to me.)

    Gotta love MARK even if you hate him.

  2. If the police don’t stand with the 99%, who will stand with the police when the scum bags in Washington and Wall Street come for their jobs, pensions, money, health care?

    GOOD POINT.

    BUT THAT IS JUST IT…THOSE MAGGOTS IN “OFFICE” OUR..”REPRESENTATIVES” ARE WELL….WELL..AWARE OF WHAT YO ARE STATING.

    WHEN THAT WISCONSIN MAGGOT GOVERNOR…WENT AFTER THE UNIONS..GUESS WHAT HE ALSO DID:

    HIS “LAW”…EXCLUDES….”POLICE UNIONS”.

    YUP!

    LOOK MIT UP.

    SAME IS NOW GOING ON IN NEW JERSEY WITH THEIR GOVERNOR. AS HE GOES AFTER LITERALLY..”EVERY OTHER UNION”..HE QUIETLY..”EXCLUDED” THE “POLICE” FROM THE ANTI-COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AND ANTI-UNION LEGISLATION.

    THIS IS ALSO THE LEGISLATION AS IT READS IN CERTAIN “JOBS BILLS” AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.

    THE..”POLICE”…ARE..”LET OFF”.

    THIS IS LITERALLY…NO FIGURE OF SPEECH..IT IS….”IS”…………….A BRIBE.

    IF THEY PUT THE POLICE IN THE SAME BASKET AS…LITERALLY…EVERY….OTHER UNION LOSING ITS ABILITY TO BE AN INDEPENDENT BARGAINING/COLLECTIVE BARGAINING VOICE…THEY WILL LOSE THE TOTAL ALLEGIANCE OF THE “POLICE” TO THEIR CORPORATE GOVERNMENT AGENDA.

    THEY ARE BRIBING THE POLICE.

    OH..AND ALSO..”TSA” IS EXCLUDED AND SO TO ARE OTHER “FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT UNIONS”..EXCLUDED FROM THESE ATTACKS ON EVERY….NO JOKE…EVERY…(NURSES TO FIREFIGHTERS TO TEACHERS TO TRUCKERS..ET AL) OTHER UNION.

    ONLY THOSE WITH THE GUNS AND THE “ORDERS” TO CRUSH ALL DISSENT ARE “LEFT ALONE”.

    IT IS CALLED..”POST FACTUM BRIBERY”.

    IT IS ALSO HOW THE “REVOLVING DOOR” WORKS.

    “YOU’LL ET PAID AFTER THE FACT..FOR A JOB WELL DONE.”

    BRIBERY.

    THAT IS WHY THE “POLICE” ARE NOW A BRUTAL EXTREMIST FORCE OF EVIL AND CORPORATE FEDERAL POWER.

    THEY ARE BEING BRIBED TO DO THAT.

    ONCE AGAIN..THE POWER OF MONEY IS THE LESSON HERE.

    THIS COULD BE EASILY PROVEN IN FACT.

    GO TO THAT PROTEST…IN NYC..AND HOLD UP A VERY SPECIFIC “SIGN” AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

    IF YOUR SIGN READS SOMETHING LIKE:

    “FAIRNESS IN LENDING NOW!” OR “END BANK CORRUPTION NOW!”

    YOUR CHANCES OF BEING ARRESTED..INTERROGATED AND “DETAINED” ARE 50/50 AT WORST AND “NONE” AT BEST.

    BUT…HOWEVER..ON THE OTHER HAND…WERE YOU TO GO TO NYC AND HOLD UP A SIGN READING:

    “WHY ARE POLICE UNIONS EXEMPT FROM ANTI-UNION LEGISLATION?”

    OR:

    “STOP PAYING THE SALARIES OF POLICE WHO AGREE TO CRUSH REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES!”

    OR:

    “STOP PAYING THE SALARIES OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL NOW!”

    OR:

    “POLICE = EXTREMISTS!”

    YOU WILL…TO A MORAL CERTAINTY….BE…ARRESTED..DETAINED..INTERROGATED AND BASICALLY…TORTURED AND “PLACED UNDER SURVEILLANCE” FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD..AS WELL AS THE VARIOUS ‘LISTS” NOW FAVORED BY THESE EXTREMISTS AND THEIR MASTERS.

    IT IS ALL…FREE SPEECH.

    BUT THEY DO NOT…AND WILL NOT…ALLOW…THEIR POWER TO BE CHALLENGED OR QUESTIONED.

    THIS IS NOW A FACT.

    IT IS ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO DO THAT..TO SINGLE OUT CERTAIN SPEECH ETC..ETC..ETC..

    THEY NO LONGER CONCERN THEMSELVES WITH THE “LAW”.

    IT IS THAT EASY TO PROVE.

    AND IT IS ALL…100%..ABOUT MONEY.

    WHICH ALSO..BTW…IS THE ‘WHY” IN “WHY THIS PROTEST IS TRAGICALLY…MEANINGLESS! OR PUT ANOTHER WAY:

    “LET THEM MARCH ALL THEY WANT, AS LONG AS THEY CONTINUE PAYING THEIR TAXES.” — ALEXANDER HAIG.

    OR PUT EVEN SIMPLER:

    “LET THEM MARCH AND SCREAM AND TALK AND POST TO FACEBOOK AND TWITTER ALL…ALL..ALLLL….THEY WANT..AS LONG AS THEY CONTINUE PAYING THE SALARIES OF THOSE WHO ARE DESTROYING THEIR FREEDOM AND THEIR ECONOMIC FUTURE AND THEIR PRIVACY AND THEIR LIVES…”

    FOR THAT…IS THE REALITY.

  3. I keep telling you protesters if you want cops to back off you are going to have to gang up and beat the crap out of a group of them.

    YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!! YES!!

    Beat ‘em up and let Wall Street sort ‘em out!! Hahahahahahahaha!!!

  4. “ANTI-CAPITALISM”?

    WOW..REAL..UMM..”SUBTLE” THERE…GOSH…TRULY…”SUBTLE”.

    THERE ARE NO….NO…”ANTI-CAPTIALISTS” AT THAT RALLY.

    OH..OKAY..MAYBE ONE OR TWO…

    OR..DO YOU “SOCIALIST” SHRIEKERS CARE TO..PROVE..THAT THE OVERWHELMING (99.99%) MAJORITY OF THOSE PRESENT…ARE “ADVOCATING” FOR:

    “REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH”?

    BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT.

    UNEQUIVOCALLY..THIS IS ABOUT…AGAIN..99.99%:

    CORRUPTION.

    THE REVOLVING DOOR.

    MASSIVE SEC CORRUPTION AND “SECRET INTERPRETATIONS” OF FINANCIAL REGULATIONS INCLUDING “MARK TO MARKET RULE CHANGES” AND THE STUNNINGLY ONEROUS “SPECIAL COUNSEL” ARRANGEMENTS BEING MADE WITH BANKS TO “POLICE THEMSELVES”.

    OR..DO YOU SOCIALIST SHRIEKERS ALSO WISH TO PROVE THAT THE AVERAGE “PROTESTOR” AT THIS “PROTEST” ARE WILLING TO OR ADVOCATING THAT THEY..”HAND OVER THEIR PROPERTY TO OTHERS FREELY”?

    THAT…..IS….THE PROTEST.

    PEOPLE ARE ENRAGED…FINALLY…THAT OUR….OUR……….OUR……PROPERTY..IS BEING HANDED OVER TO…CORPORATE MASTERS TO DO WITH AS THEY PLEASE TO THE LITERAL EXCLUSION OF…ALL ELSE.

    ITS CALLED:

    PRIVATIZATION.

    LOOKS TO ME LIKE THE KOCH BROTHERS ARE WORKING OVERTIME TO GET YOU IRRATIONAL TYPES TO SCREAM ABOUT CONCEPTS WHICH YO KNOW…LITERALLY…NOTHING ABOUT.

    “SOCIALISM”.

    WOW.

    AND THAT IS THE “SUBTLE” (NOT REALLY OF COURSE)..IMPLICATION WHEN THIS “ARTICLE” AS ITS “OPENER” ITS “BI-LINE” SCREAMS:

    “..ITS ABOUT ANTI-CAPITALISM”.

    NO…IT ISN’T.

    ITS ABOUT..ANTI-PRIVATIZATION OF…LITERALLY..NO FIGURE OF SPEECH OR MERE SMOKE OF OPINION…NOT WITH FACEBOOK AND GOOGLE LITERALLY…PRIVATIZING…………….EVEN OUR OWN IDENTITIES AND LIVES…AGAINST OUR WILLS…IT IS ABOUT…THE TOTAL……TOTAL AND..ABSOLUTE..PRIVATIZATION SOUGHT AND BEING RABIDLY AND SAVAGELY STOLEN..TAKEN….BY CORPORATE “CITIZENS”.

    THIS SITE..ALEX JONES..HIS UNDERLINGS…REALLY HAVE A COUPLE MAJOR…DEFICIENCIES:

    1) “SOCIALIST” INSANITY. THERE ARE…IN REALITY..IN AMERICA..BASICALLY..NO..SOCIALISTS. THEY ARE LONG GONE. THE MOST ARDENT “CUBICLE LIBERAL”…IS ABSOLUTELY A CONSUMER AND A CAPITALIST. LOOK AROUND. DUHH.

    2) “ANTI-ENVIRONMENT”. AKA “THE DENIERS”. IRRATIONAL FOOLS WHO REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT 7 BILLION HUMANS ALL DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO OBTAIN AND UTILIZE CO2 SPEWING OIL BURNING COAL BURNING DEVICES…WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY LIVING IN A CLOSED SYSTEM (EARTH..IS NOT FLAT..AND IT IS A CLOSED SYSTEM..WAKE UP) AND THEN BURNING AND CUTTING DOWN THE ACTUAL CO2 SCRUBBERS AT A RATE OF FOOTBALL FIELDS A DAY…OOPS….”TREE’S” THAT IS…WELL..IT IS THE EXACT..LITERAL..EQUIVALENT OF CLAIMING THAT ONE CAN SURVIVE IN A CLOSED GARAGE WITH THE ENGINE OF 3 CARS RUNNING. IT IS LITERALLY…”IMPOSSIBLE”. BUT THE FOOLS AND THE IRRATIONAL ARE NOT CONCENRED WITH “SCIENCE” BUT RATHER WITH THE “PERCEIVED INSULT” TO THEM “PERSONALLY”. THAT IS THE AMAZING SECRET BEHIND THE “DENIERS”. IT IS NOT ABOUT “REALITY” BUT ABOUT THEIR PERCEPTION THAT “ENVIRONMENTALISM” SOMEHOW “MEANS”;

    “HEY YOU…YEAH..YOU…YOUR AN A-HOLE!”

    THAT IS ALL THE DENIERS “SEE”. SOMEHOW. ODD PHENOMENA REALLY..FASCINATING.

    IT IS AMAZING TO WATCH AS THIS SITE DOES ITS..”THING” WHEN ANYONE OR ANY GROUP “THREATENS” THE CORPORATE STATUS QUO FOR REAL.

    THE KNIVES COME OUT…FAST.

    KOCH BROTHERS AGENDA IS FASCISM.

    ARE YOU..THOSE WHO SCREAM “SOCIALIST CONSPIRACY”..THE SAME AS YOUR FOREBEARS?

    THOSE OTHERS WHO SCREAMED “SOCIALIST” WHILE GOOSE STEPPING ALONG TO WAGNER?

    SO..IF THOSE WHO PROTEST TOTAL PRIVATIZATION AND CORRUPTION ARE..”SOCIALISTS”…THEN SCREAMERS MUST BE:

    FASCISTS.

    RIGHT?

    I MEAN IF YOU FEEL “JUSTIFIED” IN CALLING EVERYONE WHO DOESN’T AGREE WITH YOU A “SOCIALIST” THAN YOU ARE SAYING “AGREE WITH US OR ELSE” AND SO I GUESS WE CAN FEEL JUSTIFIED IN CALLING YOU:

    FASCISTS.

    OKEEDOKE.

    Fix you DAMN caps lock!

  5. well said.

  6. “Protestors chanted “racist, sexist, anti-gay! NYPD go away!” as they walked in a line led by three members of Grannies for Peace.”

    FINALLY! A touch of sanity. A touch of relevance. Now things can really get going!

  7. All the capital letters flying about, and the ironic exposing of irony, all have left me fatigued, mentally and morally. I have NO idea what ectoendomezothelium nor OKEEDOKE are saying. I believe one is disagreeing with the other, but exactly what issue is debated, I could not say!
    In fact it IS difficult to keep the sides straight, score card, getcher score card, can’t tell the players without yer score cards.
    The “Street Occupations” by underwhelming dozens of “protestors” are supporting the President. I don’;t know, but in the early 70′s when I hitched down to DC for the Anti-War Moratoriums, for the Cambodian Invasion for the Kent State shootings, for Nixon’s 2nd Inaugural, we were protesting AGAINST the President. And as one from that time I recall hundreds of thousands, the air rich with pot, acid sold and consumed, lots of chicks and FUN. Lets not forget that these “Radical Protestors” are meeting up with members of the opposite sex, and probably getting buzzed. FUN!
    But do not believe them serious. They are performing as they have been programmed by their professors and from their teachers from pre-pre-school through High. They are showing that they CARE, that they are RESPONSIBLE. SHOWING, that is the key word. It is the showing of one’s non-racism that put Obama/Biden ’08 on Saabs and Volvos throughout the land.
    Here are scores, not even hundreds of spoiled suburban brats who have never missed a meal, or worked a day in their lives playing at Revolution. Play, its FUN. The real bastards are a) the Media for treating tis non-event as News; and b) the Leftist Pols doing their best to make good on threats like Bloomberg’s of violence in the streets over unemployment. But these kids have never been employed. They have gone into to debt for degrees. So. They thought they would buy there way into a comfortable suburban life with a piece of paper from some University. Though they disdain suburbia, they always like to come home to mommy and daddy for clean clothes and walking around money. And to lecture those who do earn the money they squander. They spout Green bullshit, as if they’re personally trained Climate Scientists. Question Authority! (Unless it is brown skinned, Mooslim, or female or Leftist/Globalist, authority, then obey robotically. That is cool!)
    Obama is hoping to ignite an American Spring. A class war, which will degenerate into a race war. This ought to be treason. But he is not charged. As Van Jones said from the Bottom Up, (that is the Street) Top Down (Homeland Security FEMA awaiting to be called to restore “Law Order”).
    These kids are criticizing Capitalism, a system they believe they are suffering under now. No, now they are suffering under Crony Corporatism. But it will become a hell of a lot worse when it becomes Crony Fascism (or Socialism, same.) Do these effete white children believe they will ride this tiger? They laughably will be the first appetizer course. Are there men in America?

  8. This is inevitable.

    When the police position themselves between the people and the people’s perceived enemy, which at this point for these people appear to be Wall Street, then the people are going to perceive the police as the enemy. Violence will soon ensue.

    Furthermore this schism will be widened by the actions of the Police under these circumstances, notwithstanding the actions of the police prior to and unrelated to this protest, which will also exacerbate the negative sentiment towards them.

    Kettling and pepper spraying women, assaulting detained people while facedown and handcuffed with pepper spray, etc.

    Google police brutality, numerous “hits”…

    The people are tired of tyranny.
