Occupy Nashville Justice Dept: Homeland Security Advised Raids On Occupy Wall Street Camps President Obama's "position" regarding the NYPD's raid of Zuccotti Park, is that "every municipality has to make its own decision about how to handle" the issues of free speech and the concerns of the community. But according to Rick Ellis at the Examiner, a Justice Department official says that the recent evictions of Occupy movement across the country including Salt Lake City, Denver, Portland, Oakland, and New York City were "coordinated with help from Homeland Security, the FBI and other federal police agencies." Ellis reports that his source says though the decision to evict protesters ultimately rested with each individual jurisdiction, the local police departments "had received tactical and planning advice from national agencies" from the feds. The AP reports that another set of conference calls on October 11 and November 14 were organized by the Police Executive Research Forum and included representatives from 40 different cities.
Occupy Wall Street | NYC Protest for World Revolution Occupy Wall Street - History in the Making Since the Canadian activist group, Adbusters, called for everyone to Occupy Wall Street on September 17, 2011, millions of people worldwide have joined the movement. Pushing primarily for greater wealth equality in the US and less corporate influence over the government, the Occupy movement is one that aims to lessen the gap between the 99% and the wealthiest 1% in America. The demonstrations are based in Zuccotti Park in the Wall Street financial district of New York, but since then they have spread to over 900 cities worldwide. However, social media and technology have definitely played a significant role in helping to advance the movement. One supporter, a Brooklyn software developer, even went so far as to create a special smart phone application to help protesters demonstrating at an Occupy rally. Only time will tell how this movement will pan out, but it is definitely one that will go down in the history books. You can share this graphic using the embed code below: Now Searching...
wiki Obama Calls On Authorities To Refrain From Violence Against Peaceful Protestors The Arab Spring has become the American Fall. Surely what President Obama believed ten months ago was true for Egypt, is also true for America today? Via The White House: The White House Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release January 28, 2011 State Dining Room THE PRESIDENT: Good evening, everybody. The people of Egypt have rights that are universal. I also call upon the Egyptian government to reverse the actions that they’ve taken to interfere with access to the Internet, to cell phone service and to social networks that do so much to connect people in the 21st century. At the same time, those protesting in the streets have a responsibility to express themselves peacefully. Now, going forward, this moment of volatility has to be turned into a moment of promise. In the absence of these reforms, grievances have built up over time. Violence will not address the grievances of the Egyptian people. Now, ultimately the future of Egypt will be determined by the Egyptian people. Friends:
