11. Ray Lewis...

[sabrina 1]

52. One of the good cops.

He's a hero, although we should not really have to call people who are just doing their jobs, 'heroes' but when it comes to the police, they are so rare.

[pinboy3niner]

54. I think there are more of them

But we've seen so much brutal behavior by cops lately that it seems like the norm.

I was watching an Occupy livestream when I saw one of our own Occupy DUers, Fire Walk With Me, getting shoved around by L.A. cops without warning and for no good reason.

I live farther north and don't get down to the city for Occupy actions as often as I'd like to, but Fire has been on the front line there for a long time, now. U4ikLefty is there mostly on weekends and sometimes after work (and he's taken a leadership role in committee), and Mr. & Mrs. coalition_unwilling have returned to protest after a brief hiatus.

The coolest thing for me has been meeting and joining with my fellow DUers in our Occupy L.A. and affiliated group protests. And besides those named above, I've also had the pleasure of protesting with DUers ellisonz and Zhade.

All of us have witnessed the brutality directed against Occupiers by the LAPD. But, while I can't speak generally for L.A. Occupiers, I can pretty much guarantee that our DUers who are coming out to Occupy are not, and will not, be daunted by police brutality.

I'm proud of my fellow DUers who keep coming back to protest--even though they know all too well that they are subjecting themselves to the possibility of being beaten and arrested.

And, to tell you a secret, I've put a little money aside just in case Fire should need to be bailed out.

[sabrina 1]

56. What a great post, pinboy. And how great that you got to meet so many DUers.

Re Fire, please, if he ever is arrested and needs to be bailed out, I hope you would let us know. I would be more than willing, as would many others here, to donate to bailing him out. I could get others to donate also who I know in RL and who are fully supportive of the occupiers.

This is the part of DU that keeps me coming back. I know many people cannot be on the streets all the time, but there is so much that can be done to support them behind the scenes and for every one who is there physically, there are literally thousands who are there in spirit.

As Naomi Klein said when she went to her first OWS occupation, 'I love you all, I really do'!

[pinboy3niner]

57. And I love you, Sabrina, I really do!

We may have our differences on some issues, but as fellow and sister Occupy supporters, we are fucking SOLID!

[sabrina 1]

58. You said it!

'Fucking Solid'! Yes!



Re any differences, I think they are more related to strategy, but on the main principles, I am sure we are in agreement, just not sure of the best way to get there in the most peaceful way with the least amount of harm done.

[pinboy3niner]

59. I love you, Sabrina

I think you are a FANTASTIC lady!

Our differences are on other issues, but we are on the same page on Occupy.

And I love the way you jump in to counter the anti-Occupy BS and RW talking points when they rear their ugly heads in our threads.

Hell,I'm pulling for you to win an award over at that other website that stalks us.

[sabrina 1]

60. Lol, it doesn't take much to win an award over there I guess.

Love you too, pinboy! Taking down rightwingers was how I started out online, it was the equivalent of going to boot camp. I had never met people like that, and was so happy about being able to discuss politics with people from across the country. Lol, what a shock it was, but once I realized they were trying to drive all 'lefties' off these boards, that did it. I might have left out of boredom, but never because of bullies.

A lot of lefties did leave, but I stayed and in a way, I owe them. They thought me several things, by trial and a lot of error, lol. One, never say something you cannot back up. We were all so naive in the early Bush years. You would say something innocently that you knew was right, and ten of them would appear demanding proof, links, and 'no links from commie rags like the NYT'. Lol.

One of my favorite memories was when I discovered the photo of Rumsfeld with Saddam Hussein. To be honest, I was almost afraid to post it, knowing how fiercely they believed in their Party and how certain they were that we were the 'appeasers' with terrorists etc. Shattering people's deeply held beliefs isn't always wise.

But it was too irresistable and I went there one day and instead of posting the photo, I asked them why Rumsfeld had been hanging out with Saddam? Lol, I wish you could have seen that board. They went wild. 'You idiot, either put up or shut up'. I felt like someone walking into a room with a secret weapon.

All the other lefties on the site were afraid to say anything, and I understood why. They didn't know about the photo. Hard as it is now to remember, few people who were new to politics, knew about Reagan's love affair with Saddam at that time.

So, I posted the photo, 'you want proof, here's proof'! And then I waited, lol, there was no sign of them for a while, but the lefties were thrilled.

I had many moments like that, learning more and more about things to hit them with, mainly because of them. People would send me PMs who were rooting for me but didn't want to engage them. And some of them knew a lot more than I did so that was helpful.

That board was like the wild, wild west.

I went back once to see if they were all still there, and they were voting for their favorite 'liberals'. I made number one, because they said 'at least she didn't call people names and act like a jerk, even though she was an ignorant liberal her heart was in the right place'. That made me laugh, but once I discovered democratic boards where you could say what you thought of Bush without being attacked, I never went back. And they did stand up for me once when one of their own, a real jerk, tried to do something in RL. They surprised me that day.

Anyhow, I learned a lot from them which I might not have learned in a place where everyone agreed on every thing.

[pinboy3niner]

61. Great story, Sabrina--and yes, your heart is in the right place

If you should happen to win an award over there, just be careful--it's fra-gee-lay.

87. Yes! Let us know

16. Police standoff de-escalated through non-violence:

Occupy National Gathering - last night: "The police were scared. You could see that in their body language and in their brutal attacks. They had no riot gear on and they were afraid of unarmed people. Then an amazing thing happened. The crowd began to chant "Om" and starting holding hands in a huge circle. The energy was totally dissipated and changed. The people changed the outcome by their nonviolent action. It was incredible."

[99th_Monkey]

26. I love this - These kinds of stories need to be collected and told.

and told over and over and over again, because at some point
it becomes contagious and irresistible, which is when we win.

22. Oh, I have no illusions. People are so willing to believe the campaign bullshit.

It's as simple as that.

NatGat Day 3: Inside the Protest
NBC10 producer embeds Day 3 of the Occupy National Gathering
By Dan Stamm | Tuesday, Jul 3, 2012

The Occupy movement might be gone from encampments on Wall Street, at City Hall and around the country but the anti-corporate greed (and plenty of other causes) movement continues to exist as occupiers from dozens of movements are in Philly this week for the Occupy National Gathering.

On Monday this writer was embedded with the #NatGat folks as they held break out strategy sessions and listened to speakers in Franklin Square throughout the day before marching miles through downtown Philadelphia starting around rush hour to call for corporate accountability.

There were a few things I noticed on Day 3 of the Gathering.

94. Metro paper says occupy will be forcibly removed-

[MadrasT]

95. Actually the paper says nothing of the sort

Despite the provocative photo on the cover.

The actual article inside:

"City says despite multitude of protests, fourth of July will be 'business as usual'"

Though at least four separate protest groups descending on Philadelphia's Historic District will compound the chaos of the 600,000 revelers expected to attend the Wawa Welcome America! festival, city officials said yesterday they did not expect a major disruption.

"It's a very secure area," Managing Director Rich Negrin said. "There's a strong police presence. We have the joint operations, as we usually do. This is something we do really well – it's business as usual for us in the city."

Negrin said that, though there is concern about demonstrations – and counter-demonstrations, the District is largely under federal jurisdiction. "The Philadelphia Police Department is only there when things go badly, which really hasn't been case so far," he said. "Beyond that, it's about making sure people have the right to enjoy Philadelphia this week and visit our historic sites and get around safely, which is what we do anyway."

Link to rest: http://www.metro.us/philadelphia/local/article/1146872--city-says-despite-multitude-of-protests-fourth-of-july-will-be-business-as-usual

It goes on to describe four of the different protest groups planning events on the 4th and talk about the anarchists who got arrested and the water wars.

Nothing about forcibly removing anybody for peaceful protests.
