Occupy Tulsa
Tonight nine protesters were pepper sprayed at less than two inches from the face in the position we were told to be in if we didnt want to be pepper sprayed. Tulsa police has lied. They sent 75 police officers to arrest 9 people and take down our tents.

2. So sorry this is happening

It's really getting ridiculous.

When peaceful protesters become fodder for nightsticks and pepperspray by their fellow Americans, something is deeply, seriously, unconstitutionally WRONG.

5. And our 1% media pretend that

protester abuse in America is the fault of the peaceful protesters.

Protester abuse anywhere else in the world is a cause for outrage.

The 1% media should just hide in shame for their blatant hatred of the American people.

I am not an Obama hater. This video speaks for itself. I would welcome Obama and SOS Clinton being given the opportunity to respond to it.

10. Thanks for this.

It is an eye opener. Everyone should see it. I wonder if MLK was marching in DC today if his group would be pepper sprayed.

11. this is not a problem for the US or the WH, so I've been told. State problems.

and Obama doesn't deal in State problems.

unless it has to do with weed.

14. See, it's the hypocrisy again. And/or political expediency. n/t

[lonestarnot]

Beatings and pepperspray paid for by our tax dollars. Disgusting.

13. If you think the 1% who own everything and just about every

pol in this country, and ALWAYS gets their way will give up its power peacefully....

Well I guess the smell of pepper spray and tear gas and the dull thud of police batons on our flesh will wake us all up to reality.

The illusion of our democracy is slipping away. When it was the arab spring and those 99%er's being suppressed and beaten our pols said what a terrible thing it was.

But now its America's 99% time to be violently suppressed and our pols say nothing.

Hey we went to sleep in a democracy, free people with rights and privileges and woke up in a police state with zero rights. Overnight it seems just like magic, the curtain torn away to reveal the bitter truth.

The 1% that rules this world no longer needs to maintain the illusion of freedom in the USA or anywhere else.

Names and mug shots of those arrested are being broadcast here. That'll keep these folks from having jobs in this red employment at will state.
