D.C instigate, surround, and then begin to tase an Innocent occupier for no reason what so ever please watch. And share this police brutality. Officer Lemke badge number 398 is the one who tased. Then deny medical attention after he started to have a seizer. Later officers proceed to take him away in a paddy wagon minutes before an ambulance arrives.

One of the world's largest social networking sites, Twitter, recently stated in its blog the ability to censor content according to a user country's restriction. Activists, including Ai Weiwei, strongly protest Twitter's statement. It is believed that Twitter is taking Google's old path -- attempting to enter the Chinese market.
Twitter stated in its official blog that as it continues to grow internationally, Twitter "will enter countries that have different ideas about the contours of freedom of expression." Some differ so much from Twitter's ideas that Twitter "will not be able to exist there."
It is also stated that Twitter has "the ability to reactively withhold content from users in a specific country" and Twitter hasn't "yet used this ability, but if and when Twitter is required to withhold a Tweet in a specific country," Twitter "will attempt to let the user know," through "partnership with Chilling Effects to share this new page."
Human Rights Campaign in China representative Hu Jun indicated that Twitter discriminates users based on their nationality and violates the universal values of freedom and equality and spirit of the internet.
Hu Jun: "This is opposing Twitter's mission, the mission for open exchange of information and freedom of expression."
Twitter was believed to serve as a platform for the Arab Spring last year. Its changing position has disappointed many activists and met with strong opposition from internet users. Many Twitter users are going to protest Twitter's new policy by ceasing to use Twitter for a day.
Artist Ai Weiwei tweets: "There is no negotiation for freedom of speech! If Twitter censors, I will stop tweeting!"
Egyptian activist Mahmoud Salem tweets, "This is very bad news." "Is it safe to say that (hash)Twitter is selling us out?"
In his letter to Twitter Executive Chairman Jack Dorsey, Olivier Basille, director of Reporters without Borders, suspected the decision was "motivated by the desire to penetrate the Chinese market at all costs." He stated, "Twitter is depriving cyber dissidents in repressive countries of a crucial tool for information and organization."
Song Xiangfeng, a democracy activist from Jingzhou, Hubei province: "Any foreign software that advocates freedom of expression will not be allowed by the communist regime. The CCP will always limit the scope of the software according to the regime's desire. "
Professor Insa Sjurts of University of Hamburg believes, "apparently, Twitter is expanding into the Chinese market." It plans to increase the number of active users significantly, from the current 100 million to more than a billion users.
Ye Du, a writer and activist from Guangzhou indicated that Twitter users in China are mainly internet users who have bypassed the firewall for freedom and true information exchange. Twitter's censor policy will end up losing these users, including him.
Ye Du: "Twitter's greatest significance for us is that it is not a censorship tool, users can express freely. When the once magical tool has lost its effectiveness, it will be hard to maintain its users. If it insists on this policy, it will lose more than what it will gain."
There are Internet users who believe that Twitter is going down the old path of Google. Google entered the mainland not being able to foresee the impact of CCP's censorship on the value of the company. They went from giving up some of the principles by the initial default content restrictions of the Chinese authorities, to finally declining to accept the censorship request and withdrawing from the Mainland Chinese market in January 2010.
"The World" (Die Welt) report believes it is no accident Twitter is taking the same measures Google did. Alexander Macgillivray, legal advisor of Twitter used to work for Google when Google adapted to the Chinese market.
