Let’s make these photos viral. From the Atlantic: A police officer prepares to swing his baton at an unarmed protester. The bottom shows the enormous march in NYC yesterday from a movement that is supposedly in demise.

May Day in Bryant Park, NYC. Picture taken with my cameraphone. The events of the day were very well organized and marching with ~30,000 people was quite incredible. A big thanks to all the participants and respect to whoever created this stellar prop! Victory is closer than many may believe. Namaste.
“These are irrational demands,” said Wall Street.
“I know, right?” said conservatives.

[Occupy Town Square IV]
“Occupy Town Square makes it’s Brooklyn debut with a stop at Fort Greene Park. There were lots of great organizations, teach-ins, skill shares, and the People’s Kitchen was there to keep us well fed. It was an amazing day full of beautiful people.”

“We’re not ‘back’, we never left.”
The New York Police Department has repeatedly used violence against peaceful protesters in the Occupy Wall Street movement. On March 17th, several protesters were hospitalized by police violence. The Department seems to be actively attempting to suppress the nonviolent movement through infiltration, monitoring and violent arrest.
We call for a full, independent investigation by the state Attorney General into the active suppression of the movement by the New York Police Department, including, but not limited to:
1. The use of taxpayer funds to infiltrate and monitor peaceful Occupy protest planning
2. Departmental practices that lead to, or allow for, the violent dispersal of crowds and the violent arrest of protestors
3. Civil rights violations of protestors by the police
