A nice speedy modified camera flash, and flash it in the cops' eyes, just to piss them off.

Remember, your friends and relations are there. I think the Occupy might be better off creating the space they want to have. It's too bad the take over and operation of the Kaiser Center in Oakland didn't develop. If everyone who supported Occupy wore some sort of patch, t-shirt, hat, armband or sweatshirt, with "I am the 99%" or "Occupied space" anything that put it out on the streets, at work, in dinners, just everywhere anyone goes, I think that would have more impact than cat and mouse stuff with the police.

You know, when a flash goes off, you are blinded for a second or two, and it kind of disorients you. Most of all, it is not violent, and absolutely non-lethal.

and there is a reason for that old saying, "Let a sleeping dog lie." The police are not the real enemy, just the front sent out to protect them. They are part of the 99% and the quicker they understand it the faster the Occupy movement will evolve. It may be just my humble opinion, but I believe it. If I'm at an action and come face to face with law enforcement I try to tell them stories that make them laugh.

When the Working Class & The Poor realize WE have more in common with each other
than we have in common with the 1% and their employees in Washibngton,
THEN we can have "change".

Our neighbors in Latin America have given us a Blue Print for change.

[font size=3]"The worst enemy of humanity is U.S. capitalism. That is what provokes uprisings like our own, a rebellion against a system, against a neoliberal model, which is the representation of a savage capitalism. If the entire world doesn't acknowledge this reality, that nation states are not providing even minimally for health, education and nourishment, then each day the most fundamental human rights are being violated."[/font]
----Bolivian Reform President Evo Morales

FDR said much the same thing in 1944 with his Economic Bill of Rights.


VIVA Democracy!
I hope we get some here soon!

than we are, it seemed almost impossible for them to gain their independence from the brutal Global Capitalists who kept them oppressed for so long.

But in just one decade it has been so inspiring to watch country after country in that region of the world, take control of their own destinies. Of course that has angered the old Globalists who seem to believe that resources everywhere, belong to them.

Chavez, Morales among others will probably go down in history for making this possible.

More encouraging is the holding to account the war criminals after so many decades. It just shows that we should never give up on holding our war and economic criminals accountable either.

Police Brutality at OccupyLA #M17 Occupy Festival 3/17/12
Uploaded by jjgiddes on Mar 18, 2012

LAPD arrest and brutalize four peaceful protesters at the Occupy Los Angeles #M17 Occupy Festival celebrating the six month anniversary of the Occupy movement. After a morning of entirely peaceful protest on 3/17/12, an aggressive and brutal LAPD launched an unprovoked attack on the event and arrested four protesters who were doing nothing illegal at the time.
