A protester facing off with NYC's finest. Because of some obscure law protesters are not allowed to wear masks when protesting so they wear them backwards.
After seeing the NYPDs actions today such as pepper spraying non-violent protesters and arresting people for just walking down the street one has to wonder, are they there to protect our rights or to protect the corporate interests?
One chant I liked hearing today was "we got sold out and they got bailed out!"
That about sums it up.
On a side note, I like the angle of this shot because when I looked at it later I first thought it was the cop wearing the mask.

About 17 pro-democracy activists were arrested in the Atrium at the World Financial Center on December 12, 2011. After the activists were detained and the rest of the activists physically thrown out of the Atrium, the NYPD used riot police to form a wall around the detained activists and would not allow fellow activists or journalists to witness the arrests being made.

When you visit the OccupyWallStreet camp you are immediately overwhelmed by the number of causes represented in the park and this has brought criticism from some for the group giving the appearance of being unorganized.
But it all makes sense when you take into consideration the amount of influence the 1% has had on policies that have favored the corporations for years and adversely affected We the People. From fracking to credit default swaps these 1% policies are making us the 99% poorer and sicker every single day while they the 1% get richer and more powerful.

Stephanie Keith, the AP photojournalist behind this incredible image displays her frustration with the NYPD, who yesterday, formed a wall and denied journalists access to the pro-democracy activists being arrested inside the Atrium at the World Financial Center. (December 12, 2011)
Broadway became the walk of shame as protesters were arrested and then marched down the middle of Broadway as onlookers chanted "Shame, Shame, Shame" at the NYPD officers.
Everyday the occupation holds General Assembly where news is passed along and anyone can get up and speak. Some speak of having futures stolen. Some speak about not being able to find a job for the last three years and some speak about losing everything because a loved one got sick. These people are college students and executives, steel workers and teachers, they are us and we are them, we are the 99%
My friend reminded me of a quote tonight from Fight Club and it's kind of fitting.
"I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off." -- Tyler Durden
I suck at reporting so here's the account from lasts night illegal detainment of protesters on 53rd street;
Outside a Manhattan fundraiser attended by President Barack Obama last night, the New York City Police Department deployed a new and legally questionable tactic against Occupy Wall Street demonstrators and the press. . . . Protesters in the NYPD's free speech zone were trapped there. Not only could nobody enter after a certain point, but for about an hour and a half, nobody could leave. When I arrived outside the Obama event, a $1000-a-head fundraiser at the Sheraton New York, I found that the police had cordoned off the sidewalk a block in all directions and were not admitting the press.
Every day protesters ring the outskirts of Liberty Park with small signs that give some insight into the persons story/history and a majority of those stories are similar to this mans story.
Every day I watch members of the MSM skip right over these people and question the person with 301 body piercings, tattoos under their finger nails and an odor filled cloud surrounding them like Pig Pen from the Peanuts. I'm sure someone of this standing could have a PhD in something but more than likely it's not the case and the MSM knows that but this persons distorted world view plays better on TV and gives people something to hate.
The guy in this picture is the real story but his story isn't sexy, it's the realest of real reality TV but the MSM will continue to ignore him and the rest of the 99% in the interest of keeping their ratings up for their 1% corporate masters.
