Watch the graphic video of unprovoked NYPD violence. It has gone viral. Help it go farther by tweeting, sharing it on facebook, and getting out the evidence of what is going on at #OccupyWallStreet.

Earlier today on day 8 there was a march from One Liberty Plaza on 14th Street. Over 50 protestors were arrested. Reports from the arrested come back with stories of wounds inflicted by the NYPD going untreated, intimidation by the police and other things you would not expect from a first world country.

See the video from that march

Get the word out about these protests of Wall Street's greed to everyone you know. Raise awareness, even if it is via word of mouth, every little bit helps.

This article was posted by AlterNets' Jesse LaGreca, who says she is reporting from the frontlines of the class warzone, and reminds us that "they only call it class war when the working class fights back".

It is a disgrace that the very people we depend on to protect us from the bad people in this country. Act like we are the bad people. If we can not depend on the Police who can we depend on.

I've watched quite a few videos from the demonstration. A few show, very clearly, inappropriate actions (including unnecessary & excessive) physical violence by police towards demonstrators. Its quite clear that this did happen.
