NYPD GOT USED

NYPD Deputy Inspector Anthony Bologna
ATTACKING the INNOCENT from BEHIND!!!
[ SEE the VIDEO ]
The NYPD: New York City Police Department GOT USED by Mike Bloomberg to carry out HIS-VIOLENT-TYRANNY over the otherwise Free People of New York City. The City has no choice but to DECLINE defending their street-thugs [the ones who show up to INFLICT VIOLENCE under the FALSE guise of 'keeping order'] in Civil Court. Don't feel bad for those certain people on the NYPD who like to show off to their superiors by carrying out the often ILLEGAL and violent orders passed down. 

VIOLENT-SOCIOPATHS are CRIMINALS - whether or not they wear a badge. Never forget that!

NO JUSTICE = NO PEACE
WE WILL NEVER FORGET
the horrors that Mike Bloomberg's NYPD unleashed on peaceful protesters. This is much larger than the "PR problem" the City seems to think this is. This administrations VIOLENT assault on the United States Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - Will NOT Go Unpunished. 

 WE WILL NOT FORGET : WE WILL NOT RELENT 
  ...if there is - indeed - any just rule of law left in our nation.

How FEAR Turned Peace Officers
into Militarized CRIMINAL Henchmen:
- a 360 perspective - [VIDEO]




PROTESTER, Cecily McMillan
tells Democracy NOW! about her first hand experience in one of the
NYPD's most recent physical assaults on protesters in a public square:




ONE GOOD COP: OUR CAPTAIN, Ray Lewis

breaks it all down for We Are Change this past November:


It's amazing to have this perspective
from a former Philedelphia Police Captain

A shining example of what the NYPD and other departments COULD BE, if only they too, would stand up against their own fears. It is FEAR that makes a police officer obey without conscience. It is FEAR that keeps all people doing the wrong thing. The FEAR of not being able to feed yourself and your family, should NEVER be the motivating force in your life. FOLLOWING ILLEGAL ORDERS can only happen in a world corrupted and controlled by money. When our police departments don't have to FEAR losing their budgets, and their officers don't have to FEAR not being able to feed their families, see how much more just and equal our world will be.

When the watchmen don't have to FEAR for their own survival, see how many less ILLEGAL ORDERS they are willing to follow. See how many more of them are willing to put conscience before orders. See how many less of them are willing to look the other way. See how many more of them are willing to stand with The People, rather than against us!



You simply cannot be in FEAR that you will lose your job, and truly stand with The People at the same time. It's one or the other. Your FEAR serves no one. It is FEARLESSNESS that we require.


The Human Rights of all are undermined buy socio-economic constructs that paralyze minds and hearts, with FEAR. You can only be truly serving The People, when you are serving with FEARLESSNESS. If you are too afraid to lose your job, you are likely to not do the right thing. The FEAR of losing the ability to feed their families - being dangled over their heads in every moment - is it any wonder that yesterday's Peace Officer is today's MILITARIZED THUG? One who dares not to question suppressive orders, nor interrupt corruption and oppression, nor apply critical thought to their professional situation being one of actually keeping them from helping The People, but rather, helping those who aim to exploit The People? You don't have to understand all of the intricacies therein, to know that it is WRONG to suppress protests in public squares. In fact - IT IS A CRIME. If you know that much, you are on the right track!

Oakland Rises Up Against Corruption & Violent Oppression


Following last weeks brutal assault by Oakland Police on their peaceful assembly - which left Marine, Iraq War Veteran, Veteran for Peace, and Occupy Movement supporter, Scott Olsen hospitalized in critical condition among the wounded - Occupy Oakland had their largest General Assembly attendance to date. With over 1,600 in attendance and voting, they passed a proposal for a "general strike" in Oakland to take place this Wednesday, November 2nd. The proposal passed with an amazing 96.9% approval.

Oakland has experience another such general strike in it's history, in 1946. The Oakland General Strike of 65 years ago however, was spurred by more spontaneity that seemed to follow the inspiration of a sweep of similar actions around the nation at the time. This time the strike is being officially called for, organized, and broadcast.

It should be a very interesting Wednesday in Oakland, this November 2nd, as The People rise up as one against capital corruption and governmental oppression. Let us all keep our eyes on Oakland, as our hearts remain in unity.
