My friend who was there took this video.

His message:
Here is video I took today, 10/1/11, of the NYPD beginning to arrest peaceful marchers as they were crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. There were an estimate 2-3000 marchers, and the NY Times estimates that 400-500 were arrested today on the bridge. It appeared that the cops allowed them to come on to the bridge before stopping them where they were trapped and surrounding them and arresting them. This video I took from the walkway above the arrests was the beginning.

This is what a corporatacracy looks like.

1. With all due respect to Gill Scott Herron...
the revolution *is* being televised.

Great stuff. It will take a few years, though.

Only in Eastern Europe under the Communists could I imagine something like that. It is unbelievable.
