Occupy goes after Bloomberg

[Nbadan]

Bloomberg attempts to circumvent the people's right to peaceful assembly..

:lol at Occupy following Bloomberg around New York...


Occupy Wall Street protesters will not be allowed to bring their sleeping bags back into Zuccotti Park after they leave for a city-ordered cleanup of the premises Friday morning, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly said Thursday.

Mayor Bloomberg appeared at the park Wednesday evening to inform protesters that cleaning crews will be dispatched there at the end of the week.

Kelly said cleanup crews will enter the park at about 7 a.m. Friday and the clean-up process will take place in four-hour intervals.

He also said protesters will not be able to bring their sleeping bags, among other items, into the park once they are allowed back in, which may hamper their ability to weather the elements amid an anticipated cold front expected to roll through the area.

Meanwhile..

The financial giants have used some of their taxpayer money for a private police force

Financial Giants Put New York City Cops On Their Payroll


Videos are springing up across the internet showing uniformed members of the New York Police Department in white shirts (as opposed to the typical NYPD blue uniforms) pepper spraying and brutalizing peaceful, nonthreatening protestors attempting to take part in the Occupy Wall Street marches. Corporate media are reporting that these white shirts are police supervisors as opposed to rank and file. Recently discovered documents suggest something else may be at work.

If you’re a Wall Street behemoth, there are endless opportunities to privatize profits and socialize losses beyond collecting trillions of dollars in bailouts from taxpayers. One of the ingenious methods that has remained below the public’s radar was started by the Rudy Giuliani administration in New York City in 1998. It’s called the Paid Detail Unit and it allows the New York Stock Exchange and Wall Street corporations, including those repeatedly charged with crimes, to order up a flank of New York’s finest with the ease of dialing the deli for a pastrami on rye.

The corporations pay an average of $37 an hour (no medical, no pension benefit, no overtime pay) for a member of the NYPD, with gun, handcuffs and the ability to arrest. The officer is indemnified by the taxpayer, not the corporation.

New York City gets a 10 percent administrative fee on top of the $37 per hour paid to the police. The City’s 2011 budget called for $1,184,000 in Paid Detail fees, meaning private corporations were paying wages of $11.8 million to police participating in the Paid Detail Unit. The program has more than doubled in revenue to the city since 2002.

Maybe the NYPD will use some old tricks and start dropping drugs in the park


Source: New York Daily News


A former NYPD narcotics detective snared in a corruption scandal testified it was common practice to fabricate drug charges against innocent people to meet arrest quotas.

The bombshell testimony from Stephen Anderson is the first public account of the twisted culture behind the false arrests in the Brooklyn South and Queens narc squads, which led to the arrests of eight cops and a massive shakeup.

(snip)

The city paid $300,000 to settle a false arrest suit by Jose Colon and his brother Maximo, who were falsely arrested by Anderson and Tavarez. A surveillance tape inside the bar showed they had been framed.

A federal judge presiding over the suit said the NYPD's plagued by "widespread falsification" by arresting officers

:lmao:lmao:lmao

And end up like the Tea Party, getting out to the polls just to feel like they are making a change or some kind of difference? Bullshit, it's too interesting to see how far the "occupiers" might go against the banks. Especially now with the Iran thing going off. Been waiting for private funded security forces to start showing up to these things, this is gonna be good. :downspin:

Looks like a sign proudly held by Tea Party members?
