Cops Send Signal It’s Open Season on Assaulting Protesters

[Update #3 – Hallelujah!  Star Ledger reports that The Bull Roams Free! (snark)

Update #2: 11/13/11 – holy moly! The Star Ledger covers the story, from a very different perspective, obviously!

Update: #1: 11/9/11 – The Yesmen make the scene!]

I’ve been following and supporting the Occupy Wall Street Movement and am increasingly disgusted by the proliferation of police repression and violence.

I went to Liberty Plaza to defend the occupation from a planned eviction back on Friday October 14, and since then have watched how police have become increasingly provocative and violent in crackdowns and evictions in other cities.

The Occupy Oakland police riot and violence was a disgrace redolent of Chicago 1968 (despite extensive YouTube video that seems to serve no deterrent to increasingly repressive tactics).

But now it seems we are entering entirely new territory.

On Friday night, a guy driving a Mercedes Benz plowed his car into Oakland protesters – and yesterday a similar vehicle assaut occurred in Washinton DC. (see: Police: 3 struck by car at Occupy DC protests

The cops are not only attacking protesters themselves, but their failure to prosecute these vehicle assaults is sending a HUGE green light that it is open season on protesters.

This can only lead to more similar and worse assaults on people exercising Constitutional rights to dissent.

And that, my friends, is an intolerable disgrace.

Occupy Wall Street has set up an eviction defense network – all people of good faith should join and help block any police action to dismantle the Movement and evict protesters.
