Occupy Strikes Sachs! « Airing Goldman Sachs' Dirty Laundry Occupiers descended on Goldman Sachs yesterday in solidarity with the West Coast Port blockades which managed to shut down three major ports: Oakland, Portland and Longview.
The march in New York began across the street from Zuccotti Park at 7:30 am and ended at 200 West Street where a heavy police presence was waiting with barricades to prevent protesters from blocking the front of the building. Nearly 300 protesters formed picket lines in front of and behind the building chanting, “Everyone pays their tax — everyone but Goldman Sachs!” Eventually a mock press conference broke out complete with the the “head” of Goldman Sachs — a woman wearing a giant squid hat.

Now, another video has surfaced showing the NYPD arresting a man who appears to be protester Justin Wedes as he passively stands and films the police ordering protesters to leave. The photographer who shot the video, JB Nicholas, tells us he just as easily could have been detained for filming the arrest.

“Let’s go squidding!!” The Great American Bubble Machine. The first thing you need to know about Goldman Sachs is that it's everywhere.
The world's most powerful investment bank is a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money. In fact, the history of the recent financial crisis, which doubles as a history of the rapid decline and fall of the suddenly swindled dry American empire, reads like a Who's Who of Goldman Sachs graduates.

Monday morning marked yet another Day of Action for the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Eight cities on the West Coast attempted to shut down ports. (The hashtag #PortShutdown on Twitter is moving a mile a minute.) In New York City, there was a solidarity march targeting Goldman Sachs that began at 7:30 a.m. The march was well attended, peaceful and culminated in a street-theater Vampire Squid press conference held in front of the Goldman Sachs building. Everyone was laughing and having a great time, and my brother John and I were there to tweet and take pictures. John and I walked over with a couple of other media people. The protesters — maybe 100 or so — had gathered in the center of the floor and were dancing and chanting, “Occupy Brookfield!” That was when everything escalated completely out of control. A cop pulled me up by my shoulders and told me to step back. I was pushed behind a line of police. I said, “What did you just say?”

It still seems like not all New York Police Department officers got that memo from their boss a few weeks ago warning them not to interfere with members of the media during police actions such as those that have been ongoing as a result of the Occupy Wall Street protests. In this video, police are shown getting physical with and intentionally blocking the shots of a credentialed photojournalist covering today's demonstration at the World Financial Center.
A New York Times spokesperson confirmed for Capital that the journalist in the footage is Robert Stolarik, who was on assignment for the Times today.

O'Donnell to NYPD: Fire Officers Who Suppressed Press/Arrested Journalists at #OWS.
As a writer and political commentator (@David_EHG), I am tempted to preface the video embedded below with bits of my own analysis. Instead, I'll simply step aside for a moment and let you watch Mr. O'Donnell throw daggers of truth at the screen. (A transcript has been included at the bottom of this post.) We've all witnessed the NYPD's transgressions about which Mr. Occupy Wall Street Goes to Bloomberg's House to Protest Press Arrests.
Occupy Wall Street protesters staged their second public action of the year this afternoon, returning to Mayor Mike Bloomberg's Upper East Side townhouse to protest the NYPD's treatment of journalists covering the movement. But to the disappointment of the organizers, turnout was minimal at today's event, with fewer than 50 people gathering at the corner of 79th Street and Fifth Avenue. A similar action in November drew hundreds, but was kept so far from Bloomberg's residence that even the protesters most ferocious drum-circling was all but inaudible on his block. Today the protesters were able to get a little closer, but not by much: barricades blocked pedestrian access to both sides of 79th street between Fifth and Madison, with dozens of police controlling access, two teams of scooter-cops around the corner, and an enormous NYPD mobile-command truck looming over the intersection.

Occupy Journalists Stopped, Searched, Handcuffed & Interrogated at Gunpoint. Under cover of the night around twelve police cars stopped five journalists when they were heading back to where they are staying in Chicago during the NATO summit. All five have been covering protests against the NATO summit for the past few days.
The five journalists included Luke Rudkowksi, who streams as @Lukewearechange, Tim Pool, who streams as @Timcast, Jeoff Shively (@Jiraffa), Dustin & Jess. They are known for their work livestreaming and tweeting out regular coverage of Occupy protests. Rudkowski of We Are Change managed to record the Chicago police approaching the journalists in the car. The police have their guns drawn.
There is some trouble with the door. Police officers ask a journalist, who I presume is Rudkowski, if he has anything on him. The video cuts and then we see Shively and Rudkowski recounting what happened. During the stop, search and interrogation, Chicago PD took the journalists’ hard drives and slammed them against “running boards four or five times.” RawStory: Occupy livestreamers detained at gunpoint by twelve Chicago police cars.
