Today marks two months since the Occupy Wall Street movement started. The movement which started in Lower Manhattan has spread across the globe. From Australia to the US there have been countless reports of police brutality and today is no exception. Joe Fionda, Occupy Wall Street protester, gives us his account.

@TakeWutsMineNC actually most protesters have jobs according to reliable surveys. I believe that 30 something percent make 50-75 thousand a year. I can get you a link to that data if you'd like so you don't have to be a sheepy anymore.

That look and face of revulsion/shock when he said his friend even went to work on wall st says it all. He and many many ows'er can't comprehend going to work and being productive members of society.

IF It's BAD APPLES... Why don't they do something AS IT HAPPENS?! They badly hurt people and don't even flinch.

My advice to all OWS people. Be completely peaceful don't engage the police in any way. Go limp, completely relax become dead wieght, it is very hard to move someone if they just relax and give no help at all. I disagree with most of the OWS complaints but, I was the honor graduate in my police academy class and most of what these cops are doing is just wrong.

This guy is a spoiled NY city college student. He is just there for the fun and the protesting rite. "Look at how I rebelled...."

RTAmerica, I am the interviewee, just wanted to say thanks! Could you add my channel to the tags?
BTW, if anyone is wondering, the bandana was to protect against potential teargas or pepper spray. In an imminent situation, we would douse with maalox or cider vinegar to help neutralize the irritants.

So was the man bleeding from his head after being beaten because of a hat and beaten more harshly than “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals” would allow to happen to a dog or any other animal for that matter 2:32, did he get good health coverage at the police departments expense. You know, because it was police brutality and all. I assume if he died or if they took him to jail first to make sure he got booked somebody would have said something...
Head trauma counts as duress doesn’t it?
