Boston Police Steal OccupyBoston's Kitchen Sink!

(We're not making this up)

This morning at a Suffoklk County Superior Court hearing, the City of Boston alleged (among other things) that the food tent at OB needed to become more sanitary.

This evening, OccupyBoston responded to this criticism by bringing in a brand new Kitchen sink... or at least we tried.

The Boston Police Department felt the sink was contraband, and STOLE IT FROM US. What followed is a 40 minute standoff, which resulted in the sink being incarcerated (we don't know which precinct it was taken to, we expect it to be held without bail)

It appears that the Boston Police Department would like a Food-Borne illness to spread throughout OB, who do they protect? who do they serve?

@MarkyMakeUpDotCom like I said a second ago in another part of this thread, we're learning as we go. The narrator (an anonymous member of the OB Livestream team) was expecting a GA, and got an INCIDENT.

We need to focus on our skilz, but I think largely the camerawork and documentation of the facts was well done, and it's clear that #BPD stole our sink!

I would not trust that sink (if) after they give it back. If not a pathogen (which I know is a little conspiracy theory) I would be concerned of hidden equipment being hidden in the thing.

We all know our country is capable of such things.

@zeeScarlet LOL

maybe y'all should march on the Police Dept/Mayor's Office demanding the release of the sink or the setting of bail. Demanding the return of the incarcerated sink, Just to see what their reaction would be. lol

@desertrosetx It's been discussed... {evil grin}

@PhilipTraumWaits Tell it to the Republicans.

@PhilipTraumWaits I have to agree that some of the narration should have been WAY further off mike..

Internally, our livestream team is already working to train folks on "openmic etiquette"

#peace and thanks for the feedback!

This camera man is the worst reporter ever. Your opinion doesn't mean anything, keep it to your self. Report the facts!
