The videos show clearly police know they are doing wrong as they feel the need to block/destroy camera's. I had a friend taking picture of Goldman and sach's building on her own time. Thugs inside the building took her camera and erased the pictures. Even though she was on a side walk and fully in her right. Have a underground building if u don't want people to see it. Weirdos.

Let the Fed print $10 billion to settle the case. $10 billion in fiat to set up a news organization. Just print it. Bail out the Constitution.

Every single one of those pigs should put their service pistol in their mouth and pull the trigger. As a taxpayer, it would be a much better way to spend money on the ammunition.

It's only over to those who validate the mainstream media.

I wouldn't say that quite yet. The memory of it may yet be of use.

I'm glad this so called "movement" is over. As it accomplished absolutely nothing as expected.....

Context: watch & Listen to SDS Founder, Veteran Activist Tom Hayden on Participatory Democracy from Port Huron to Occupy Wall Street, "The logic of an occupation...is if you feel voiceless about a burning issue of great, great importance & institutions have failed you, the only way to get leverage for your voice is to occupy their space in order to get their attention...This goes way back to occupations of factories in the ’30s. ... OWS is only the latest..." @ Democracy Now! 04-13-12

Protect and Serve the public has changed to Protect and Serve the corrupt, to keep us from exposing their lies and thievery. These cops are but TOOLS. Children who obey their master.
