First person account of one person’s arrest at Occupy Cal (Berkeley) on Wednesday, Nov. 9.

this is a frightening must-read about how the police and those in power are trying to eliminate our RIGHTS (not privileges)

Shocking news coming out now. Two people were hit by a Mercedes Benz driven by a white male, one reportedly dragged 30 feet and could be in life-or-death condition at the hospital. The driver couldn’t go any further as protesters dumped coffee on the car and all the things a group would do in such an instance…but as the police came walking over, the man tried to switch places with his woman passenger. The police then let the man drive away.

this is horrific… and far too common. When someone willfully accelerates towards a pedestrian or cyclist it’s assault with intent to murder… the Police are actually justified in shooting someone if they do this!! Why did they let this person drive away??!

“Corporate business, notably the banking and financial industry, which is now the most important component in the American economy, effectively controls the Republican and Democratic parties, as well as the ownership of the national news media whose main preoccupations are national politics and the national economy.”
