Ray Kelly is running for Mayor of NYC ? I will do everything I can to show as much material as I can of NYPD cracking skulls open and bloody of unarmed peaceful civilians, NYPD dropping unarmed peaceful civilians to the ground with punches in the face, NYPD running over unarmed peaceful civilians with vehicles, NYPD relentlessly beating unarmed peaceful civilians with batons, and NYPD viciously attacking penned-in peaceful unarmed civilians with pepper spray. NYC already is a police state, under the control of a para military. Let's prevent it from becomming Tehran.

So I'm reading today the Mayor is vowing "a harder line" against OWS and affiliated protests. Is this just an attempt at intimidation, or does it mean more vicious and unprovoked violence and more arrests for bogus charges? I guess we'll see.

I think the drumming is as much of a threat to OWS as NYPD is. After a day of marching, we could not make it through the whole GA tonight (after 9:00pm) due to drumming noise. I say this as a lower Manhattanite who views home as an oasis in this town, as someone, like most NYers, values the rare quiet moments. I am sure the drums -like jackhammers, are unbearable to the residents down there. I know what kind of hatred must be brewing in them toward OWS, and I'm sure they are not rationalizing between the responsible people in the top of the park and the drummers below. I say this as someone who values the drums on marches, and even in the park for a couple of hours in the day. I say this as a veteran of too many drum circles to count during 7 years in the late 80s through mid 90s at Dead shows. I say this as someone who wrote a highschool paper on Mickey Hart's "Drumming at the Edge of Magic", and asserted as I read out loud, that "drumming can save the world". I really think the drumming presents as much of a threat to OWS as NYPD. I've heard the Lower Manhattan Community Board is turning on us. I don't think it's a minor problem. Wall St Occupenial, maybe we can build a large soundproof room for them. (art project)

Watching NBC Sunday morning news programming, we just saw the vulgar attack ad on OWS, with staged scenario of anti-semites being abusive to an old Jewish man, at the edge of Zuccotti Park. While anyone with any sense of criticality can see right through it, it is being aired to an American audience... It is I'm sure this will freak out the elderly. It has the stench of Andrew Brietbart and james O'keefe. I think this ad should be screened at Zuccotti Park, so everyone knows what kind of attacks are coming. Unity is as important now as day one. The money behind this ad makes me wonder if the drummers in the park are taking money from right wing think tanks.

Non-violence is a choice. It is the right choice, and the choice we've made and committed to from the first day. I believe it is the choice we will continue to make. If any of the supportive statements about the police are true, they will have to break ranks and choose non-violence. I refuse to accept the humanity of anyone who strikes me, or any of my sisters and brothers, or pepper-sprays them, punches or kicks them, slams them into the pavement, car bumpers, or shoots them in the face with tear-gas canisters. Don't tell me about their family,their humanity or their orders. Violence is a choice. I've got a non-violent global movement to back me up on that. Police who are not pigs need to break ranks.

"Occupy Wall Street to Mayor Bloomberg: Get Your Facts Straight; Stop the Fear Mongering
Posted Nov. 4, 2011, 12:42 a.m. EST by OccupyWallSt
Yesterday New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg alleged that Occupy Wall Street participants at Liberty Square (Zuccotti Park) are chasing criminals out of the park instead of reporting them to police. In reality, Occupy Wall Street has its own well-trained internal security force, but this team does not substitute for the police when it comes to criminal activity that threatens our community or local residents. Occupy Wall Street participants have called upon police on occasions when people with predatory intentions have come into the park and engaged in illegal and destructive behavior, and have in fact turned over criminals to the NYPD.
“Bloomberg lied yesterday when he claimed that a sexual assault suspect was merely kicked out of the park, when in fact OWS security personnel forcibly removed the individual and handed him directly to the NYPD,” said Andrew Smith, a member of OWS’s overnight Community Watch. “The Mayor should get his facts straight before he calls responsible citizens protecting our community ‘despicable.’”
The occupation at Liberty Square is a civic space, where concerned citizens are raising pressing issues facing our nation. The mayor should be lauding this renaissance of civic participation, but instead he has been consistently demonizing participants.
“Occupy Wall Street exists in a public space in a major metropolis, and of course there are problems that come with that, but we have systems and our own common sense to deal with those problems,” said Bill Dobbs, a volunteer with Occupy Wall Street. “Mayor Bloomberg is pandering to fear. What we’re seeing is a lot of effort to undermine and suppress the movement and divert from the damage the mayor and his billionaire friends are doing to the country.”
Interviews available by request with members of Occupy Wall Street’s Security Team, Community Watch, Mediation Team, and other volunteers working to ensure the safety and security of everyone who comes to Liberty Square."

About the police. The fear I felt around them when they were thick at Zuccotti early this evening didn't come from them. They were wearing their helmets and swinging their sticks. Collectively they are like a machine, comprised of cyborgs or some other fantasy human/mechanism hybrid. But if you look beyond the plastic face sheild, and into their eyes, you see the jock, the bully, and bigot you went to highschool with. You see the coward. The fear I felt tonight was not towards them. The fear was from my own understanding, my realization, on a visceral level, why someone might decide it is a good idea to strike back. The recognition of my own irrational impulse, I left when I did because I am committed to non-violence both as an idea and as a tactical position. Something turns sick in my gut around police, bullies, rapists and pedophiles. It comes from something primal and dark, something that can't lead me anywhere positive. I do find police among the worst of the worst, some of the lowest humanity has to offer. I have no words to say how I hate them. There are not ugly enough words.
