[Israeli forces beat Palestinian teen brutally]
“Amjad Arafeh was among the few cameramen who managed to enter the holy site with his camera to film the violence of last Friday (October 5th). But he was the luckiest. The images he captured, shocked viewers around the world.”
Props to the cameraman. Film The Police!

[Michael and Sarah Freeley - Why We Left the Police, Connection & Hope]
We visited the park and talked about why we left the police force, how we are all One and connected and how there is hope for those still in uniform.
“The purpose of this little video is to just let people know that the awakening is real. It is happening. Police officers, albeit it doesn’t seem like it when you watch videos on Youtube and other places, on the news, etc. But even Police officers can wake up. And I think we are two examples of that.”

All the people defending the police state, ask yourself why they are there. To protect the property and closed door meetings of the elite and corporate forces that warmonger around the world. They joined the police force and left the working class, they are now part of a privileged class of people that enforce the law and protect the status quo. The only violence I see is that which is deemed legitimate by the state: police repression.
Why are we there? Because we want a better world, we want to stop invading countries and killing people. We want to stop private contractors and mercenaries from raping and pillaging.
You want to know why we’re frustrated? Because protest in this country isn’t valued. The representatives don’t care what we have to say. The capitalists don’t care how many unemployed, under-remployed, exploited and homeless there are dying in the streets. The ‘representative’ government does not represent you!More appropriately, what land of the free and home of the brave? What free speech? What free assembly? What public space?

[Jordan Experiences Arab Spring Weekly]
The Human Rights Watch (HRW) has accused Jordan of crushing pro-reform rallies in the country, saying Jordanian security forces violently breakup peaceful protests and beat and arrest demonstrators.
Interview with Ali al-Ahmed, director of the IGA
“NYC, March 24: Occupy Wall Street stages a protest against the suppression of the movement, and of police brutality, surveillance and infiltration. Demand are made for the resignation of Police Commissioner Ray Kelley and justice for slain teenager Trayvon Martin. 600 people rally in Zuccotti Park and march to Union Square, at times taking the streets. The NYPD responds with a huge presence, including mounted police and squadrons of motor scooters. At first they seem to avoid making arrests, then swiftly change tactics, sending in squads equipped with plastic handcuffs, and charging into the crowd to make arrests.”
