I know you disagree with a lot of what Occupy stands for, and I respect your right to have those ideas. I’m asking you to try to put that pov aside for 10 minutes to watch this raw unedited video you won’t see on MSM.
Please ask yourself what was accomplished? How much taxpayer money was spent to surround a group of protesters who simply wanted to have a protest march through public space.
Also ask yourself if you think it is morally, ethically, or legally right to prevent any exit route for peaceful protesters, declare the entire group under mass arrest, and stick the taxpayers with the bill.
Even if you disagree with why they are assembling, they have a right to assemble without being herded and corralled like cattle, beaten, intimidated, shot at, gassed, etc.
NOT because I agree with what they are protesting about, but because I believe they have a constitutionally guaranteed right to protest and express dissatisfaction with their Govt.
As does the Tea Party, and the NRA, and Westboro Baptist. (JustSayin)

According to the eye-witness who captured this footage, an Occupy march was stopped by Oakland PD at Telegraph Avenue and William Street. There protesters were asked to leave but were surrounded. Cops used flash grenades, pointed guns at protesters and used batons against the unarmed demonstrators. Eventually the protesters find a way out.

Barrett Brown discusses today’s Anonymous attack, #OperationMegaUpload IMO, the timing of taking down mega-upload stinks of a trap, but that might just be my inner conspiracy theorist talking. (Reading too much Hunger Games makes one paranoid)
If you don’t know what I’m talking about regarding timing, or if you think SOPA is Spanish for either soap or soup, you should checkout this video.

lmao! Another great video from a snazzy blogger, The Blogess. Watch and enjoy. but above all, pay attention and educate yourself about SOPA.
I don’t know much about SOPA, but I do know two things…I don’t like internet censorship and I should really research these things better. Also, when I say I found these facts on the internet I really mean that I made them up and then posted them on the internet. If SOPA was here I bet this would be censored.
