“Welcome to the police state, look how many cops show up for a peaceful assembly.” – Abby Martin
“Abby Martin of Media Roots went to Occupy Oakland at 4:00 am to cover the second police raid on the encampment and crackdown against the peaceful protesters at Frank Ogawa Plaza.
The footage shows the intensity in the air leading up to the raid and the insane amount of police presence that showed up to crackdown and destroy the camp.

NYPD Criminals Arrest Protesters For Trying To Close Their Citibank Accounts

The NYPD, a so called police force, has arrested over 20 protesters who attempted to close their Citibank accounts.
The citizens were arrested on phony trespassing and disorderly conduct charges for attempting to close their accounts at a local NYC Citibank. Others were there to show their support for those that wanted to close their accounts.
The NYPD has clearly become nothing less than a criminal mafia racket working directly FOR the banks.
The NYPD has announced that 24 people altogether were arrested at the Citibank incident earlier today. They were all charged with criminal trespass, while one was also charged with resisting arrest. Many of those protesters had gone to the bank to close their accounts.
The criminals who arrested these people need to be held accountable for their actions which are in direct violation of the Constitution of the United States. The ACLU and others should be preparing massive lawsuits as we speak.
In the video above you can see NYPD tough guys man handling a women and then surrounding her with as many as 8 police officers, all to arrest one non violent women.
The very foundation of America has been slowely destroyed as police forces nationwide have become nothing more than the banksters storm troopers.
While there are many good, hard working police officers in America, the fact of the matter remains that it is becoming increasingly clear that only a minority of police officers, especially in New York, work for the good of the public.
It is also worth noting that many of these disgusting actions by the NYPD may be taking place in order to incite the non violent peaceful protesters into violence. We must remain NON VIOLENT! The best way to counter the criminal actions of the NYPD is to continue to be NON VIOLENT and document all their actions for prosecution purposes.
After today JP Morgan may need to give another 4 million dollars to the NYPD just to keep up their anti American actions.
Many have pointed out that the NYPD are humans too. This kind of sucking up to the people attacking the protesters is part of the mind control that has been implanted into the minds of Americans. Why should we support people attacking and beating up women? All the real honest police in NYPD need to STAND up and take action against police officers beating people up.
We are NOT calling for any violence against the police, we need to expose their criminal actions by continuing to be non violent and filming all their actions.
CNN, also bowing to their corporate masters, has continually shown the violence from the black bloc in Rome and, reading from their corporate script, continually compared it to the Occupy Wall Street protests.
