Police brutality

After last night, I'd feel safer living in the worst neighborhood in the country, than living surrounded by police presence. My apologies if anyone is offended, yet i base such view on eyewitness accounts. Ones that i will never forget.


According to the New York Times, ¨scores¨ were arrested, and more injured, during the attack. Police used city buses to corral mass-arrested protesters. Media were not allowed to cover the events. After clearing the Square, NYPD placed barricades around the area - an act specifically barred by previous legal action. At least one person was taken to the hospital on a stretcher. We have also heard reports of seizures and broken bones. On Livestream, peaceful protesters are seen being tackled, punched, stomped, choked, hit with batons, and thrown against cars for no reason other than sitting down to peacefully protest inequality in a public park. At around 3:40 minutes into the following video, watch as NYPD slams a medic´s head against a glass window and shatters it.


And to add some political humour into the matter, an entertaining, yet sadly true picture
