Police Violence Has to be Halted!

Looking back just a couple of months ago, in Wisconsin and other places around the country, many of the same people, that are involved with the Occupy Wall Street movement were standing up and fighting for the same police officers that are now attacking American citizens. Why are these police officers now involved with bullying and strong armed tactics against citizens that are exercising their Constitutional and God given right to peacefully assemble and speak out against the tyrannical corporate elite that are controlling our country? I am sure they are following orders given to them by their superiors and they are following them blindly. This was not acceptable for our soldiers, to use the excuse, they were following orders and this was when they were faced with combat situations.

The police are being utilized as the enforcers for the corrupt elite and politicians that are not willing to, or are not intelligent enough to realize, that the current system is rigged and they want to continue to pull the strings. The police have to start reacting as people, as American citizens and not paid thugs. We have to demand that the police stop the military attacks on Americans. They have to enforce the law, however, they also have to use compassion and intelligence in their dealings with the majority of protesters. When they encounter the extremes, they should, as quietly as possible, move in make the arrest and then move back out. They have to consider the safety of the public they are surrounding and violating civil rights.

I am not some wide eyed radical. I for the most part support the police, that are sometimes placed in very difficult situations and then criticized  for their every move. Far too long minorities have endured the brutality of police departments and now we are starting to see the trend increase against more and more citizens. The time for the police to stand with the protesters instead of against them is now. What do we have to do to demonstrate in our own country. In Libya when they started attacking the people, America and NATO allies came together to protect the innocent. Are we now to the point where we invite NATO planes to protect U.S. citizens? I, for one, hope not.

What The Occupy Wall Street People Are Trying To Do!

I have to laugh when I hear media and politicians trying to explain what the OWS folks are doing. They want to have everything wrapped into a nice, neat, little package and delivered to them, so they can start telling everyone what is wrong with OWS demands. They will tell us that we are naive and that what we want could not possibly work. They will invent new lies and slogans to show all of the ordinary people how wrong we are. That is, in my opinion, one of the best reasons that the movement should not be so specific. The people involved and who support the OWS movement, should keep the ideals and direction, right where it is at the moment. For one it scares the hell out of the elite. They are not sure how to counter us and it keeps them guessing. Two, we should not limit ourselves in any way. The only way for the American people to gain back control over our country and ourselves is to go after it all. Why should we limit this movement to some small part. We should and deserve to have everything that we, the majority, demands. Is this not what we were taught in school? We were lead to believe, that we lived in the greatest country on earth and could achieve any goal we desired, if we worked hard. Are we to believe this was all a lie? Maybe the elite meant it to be, but I bought it and now I want the rewards for all Americans.

OWS is growing and if we are not able to be there in person, we should support them in every other way we can. We should talk to others and keep them involved and up to date with the latest information. We have for to many years, turned our attention away from our politicians and allowed them to drive us to this point. We have to take control back and use the power of the vote to force the direction toward the benefit of the average American. The elite and power brokers depend on us not paying attention and we assist them each time we turn away from the issues. We have to take responsibility for our actions and make the leaders, start doing what is in the best interest of America's citizens. The OWS movement is trying to make us all aware of the destruction of our country by the elite and corporations. The top one percent want it all for them. Don't let the bastards win! We are over 300 million strong. They have no chance!
