NYPD pepper spray women behind barricade at #OccupyWallStreet goes viral DESPITE Youtube suppression
by MinistryOfTruth
There were really large crowds today, more than I have seen in my 5 straight days here. I was interviewed by WPIX channel 11, and during the interview I was asked what I would say to those who feel it is a waste of taxpayer money to have the police surrounding the protestors. I don't remember exactly what I said, but I told her something to the effect of that each and every protestor is a taxpayer, and that I thank each and every police officer for the job they do, and that part of the reason we are protesting Wall Street is for the police officers who are with us, the other 99%.
Moments later a police officer nearby who had overheard me thanked me. We really are on the same side against these rich bastards, if we could just stop fighting each other this would all be easier.
So it is ironic that hours later I found this video and got to meet one of the young ladies who was pepper sprayed. Here is another version of the incident caught on Youtube. She is the blonde woman to the left in the beginning of the video.

I want to protect her name, but she told me she had no idea what prompted this attack. Hearing the shrieks of these women sends a chill through my spine. Shame. Shame on the NYPD. We are supposed to be better than this.

In the following series of photos is a picture of the poor young women screaming after being pepper sprayed at closed range in the eyes. This should be a photo on large poster board at all demonstrations so the world knows what America really is: A fascist state. See

how many times must it be said and shown, that police are sadistic brutes?
The Lady screaming the most in the gray shirt turned away before the spray. Having been tear gassed before it's bad but your not going to die, be prepared for this if you want to protest (it's your right) and if it goes bad and a riot starts, be ready to be man handled while being arrested, dragged on the ground if you will not stand on your own, and of course peppered to subdue you and in this video it worked they sat down and were ready to be processed. It was wrong and the officer will be delt with. He probably was called in on his day off to deal with this shit and was pissed off (no excuse, but when my job f's with my free time I get pissy too). In short if you protest just know you could get messed up and be ready to deal with it.
There was no reason for the NYPD whiteshirt to approach these women and pepper spray them without any warning. This action by NYPD Officer Bologna indicates a growing facist trend in the NYPD when dealing with the public protests that are even in their own best interest as police would be considered "working class" especially when compared to the billionaire bankers of Wall Street that they are "protecting".
Wall Street is the entity mostly responsible for our current borderline depression as having to bail out corporate banks with billions of taxpayer dollars without them returning investment to the community is an overall drain on our collective resources. Not to mention the ongoing occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan (THANKS for the FALSE PROMISES PRES. UNCLE O'TOMMA!!) that costs taxpayers trillions is cheered on by Wall Street investors tied to the stocks of the military industrial complex corporations like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, etc...
When police officers like NYPD's Anthony Bologna engage in unprovoked violence against otherwise peaceful (female) protesters these officers prostitute themselves to their corporate masters in Wall Street and in this process lose their humanity. Certainly being a police officer is a stressful job, though when the stress becomes too much to handle and officers act out violently for no apparent reason maybe it is time for them to consider a different career path that does not require such intense human interactions.
Otherwise there will eventually be an individual with little or nothing to lose that will not tolerate any further bullying from a mean spirited police officer such as Anthony Bologna. Once this happens then Officer Anthony Bologna could only wish that he had either smoked some medical cannabis that morning to have been calmer and more peaceful in his interactions with the public or else he will wish dearly that he had considered another career.
Of course by then it will be too late and the individual that was pushed too far will respond to their tormentor in police uniform in the worst possible way, and everyone reading the papers the next day will say,
"Gee, that's really too bad for what happened to poor NYPD Officer Anthony Bologna"
Or will they??
