Occupy Wall Street: People Power vs. the Police State
By Nick Turse - AlterNet
The periphery of Liberty Plaza...resembles an armed camp with surveillance equipment, police vehicles, armed officers, and metal barricades ringing a city square filled with unarmed activists, who openly advocate non-violence.The response is as disproportionate as it is superfluous, a point driven home by the utter apathy displayed by many of the security forces on the scene…today.
