Outlaw Occupy: US set to strangle protests with jail threats

New York City police are investigating death threats made against staff through the phone and on twitter. This after officers forcibly arrested more than 70 people during an Occupy Wall Street protest. Since the start of the movement, nationwide protests have faced numerous cases of police brutality with batons and tear gas often used to disperse crowds. As the movement continues, so too does Washington's desire to silence the American public, as RT's Marina Portnaya explains.

if your a person not from the US and you want to come here, re think that. Our Country is falling in to a big black hole of failure. The rich runs us now! and we cant stop it. I mean if Ron Paul got in to election then I would have faith in this Country but I dont anymore. I would love to leave this Country if i had the money. We cant stop it!

have to agree, just because mainstream new doesn't cover protests, and people getting together, does not mean that they are not, a simple google, or even youtube search and one can find many people speaking out and standing up for their rights. people need to realize . that they out number, out gun, and are the real back backbone of their country, right now the government is scared and trying to lock its power into place. but all the people need to do is stand up as a whole against them.

We will be effective and there is nothing the government can do about it. The people will rise when big government has become a threat to our constitution and Revolution is inevitable.

to me if i was one of the founding fathers and i saw the new york protesters i would be ashamed of them, because whenever these people are being attacked by the police they either run away or two take it like a bitch. like didn't america win Independence though violent means. I know that violence is a bad why to solve issues, but sometimes does peace not work with protesting.

"economic equality"

in other words, "we're too stupid and ignorant to get jobs, which leaves us poor, so we believe the rich people that work for their shit shouldn't be rich, and we should have their money."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but come on. This is one of the many protests I could smile while watching the degenerates get their shit handed to them.
