After evicting protesters attempting to reoccupy Peavey Plaza, Minneapolis Police arrested a dozen during a peaceful march. Videos show officers pulling several people off public sidewalks, slamming one violently into the street and deliberately censoring the mainstream and independent press.

Join members of Occupy Minneapolis for a rally at Government Center Plaza on Monday at 1:00pm to speak out against the repression by the Minneapolis Police Department and demand Mayor RT Rybak order his police to leave the occupiers to demonstrate in peace in public spaces paid for by their tax dollars. Afterwards we will discuss plans for our next reoccupation attempt, and methods to protect ourselves from police brutality.

We had hoped to reestablish an occupation to bring attention to social and economic inequality, corporate greed, and the foreclosure crisis, but instead were met with a crackdown by the Minneapolis Police Department.

It’s absolutely shameful that the Minneapolis Police are attacking and arresting peaceful protesters exercising their once thought inalienable rights while the bankers and corporate crooks who crashed our economy are walking free.
