Occupy Oakland - Khali Interview. Introducing: The OccuPirates. Officials Rally for Mayor to Acknowledge ‘Police Accountability’ Issue | PolitickerNY. A number of elected officials and community activists rallied for “recommitting to police accountability movement” this afternoon, in response to issues ranging from the NYPD’s stop-and-frisk practices to an offensive Facebook page. The rally was hosted by Councilman Jumaane Williams and the Public Advocate’s Director of Community Affairs, Kirsten John Foy, who were both infamously arrested last year.
“If you’re not going to acknowledge that the NYPD has treated us like second-class citizens, has created a system of apartheid in the city of New York, we’re going to show you that there will be no peace,” Mr. Foy said to applause. Councilman Williams placed special emphasis on Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s upcoming State of the City speech. “If the Mayor does not acknowledge the NYPD accountability issue in this city at the State of the City address next week, what he’s saying is that he doesn’t care about most of the population of the city,” Mr. Williams announced.

Elizabeth Nichols, Occupy Portland Protester Pepper Sprayed In The Face, Identified (PHOTO) In recent days pepper spray has become almost synonymous with the Occupy movement. Most recently this photo, which is quickly becoming an iconic image from the movement, has gone viral. It shows Occupy Portland protester Elizabeth Nichols getting hit directly in the face with pepper spray by Portland police. The shot was taken by Randy L. Rasmussen, a photographer for the Oregonian, during Thursday's protests.
The picture itself has been called a lot of things, but intriguingly enough, the most accurate description of how it was taken is that it was an accident. But Elizabeth Nichols, the woman being hit in the face with the spray, certainly knew what happened (though she didn't know it had been captured on film). From the Oregonian: Nichols said a policewoman jabbed her in the ribs with a baton and pressed it against her throat. This new shot comes just days after a photo of 84-year-old Dorli Rainey went viral, after she was pepper sprayed in the face during Occupy Seattle protests. Share photos and videos on Twitter.

MCCCXXXIII VLOG 3~ OCCUPY WALL STREET (Part 1) 10/5/11. CNN: Occupy Wall Street. Rand Paul: Obama inflaming ‘Occupy Wall Street’ mob. By Eric W. DolanThursday, October 6, 2011 22:29 EDT Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky on Fox Business warned Thursday that the “Occupy Wall Street” protest in New York City could become violent thanks, in part, to President Barack Obama.
“As far as this Occupy Wall Street movement goes, you know I see it sort of like a Paris mob,” he said. “I see the president’s rhetoric of envy inflaming the public.” Sen. Paul said he “hoped” that the “Parisian mob” that Obama was inflaming didn’t result in “lawlessness” where protesters looted iPhones, “because rich people don’t deserve to have them.” During a White House news conference Thursday, President Barack Obama said that the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations were proof people wanted to see tighter financial regulations.
