NYPD Break Protester's Arm

Bloomberg To OWS: "You Want Broken Bones ? We'll Accommodate You."

Five days after Mayor Michael Bloomberg issued a threat against #OccupyWallStreet activists, activists went on a march from Liberty Square to Union Square. The dual purpose of the march was in opposition to police brutality and a call for the resignation of NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly.

Oddly enough, the peaceful protest resulted in even further police brutality, including physically violent tactics by the NYPD against the protesters, leading to one 16 year old peaceful activist suffering from a broken arm, as pictured above. No comment, yet, of course, from Christine Quinn, in regards to the NYPD's on-going campaign of police brutality against peaceful activists.

St. Vincent's Community Assembly

Approximately 70 residents of the Lower West Side of Manhattan gathered at the LGBT Community Center in Greenwich Village on January 31, 2012, to participate in a community assembly to organise and brainstorm ideas to fight for a full-service hospital to replace St. Vincent's.

Stay tuned for more action ideas....

This St. Vincent's Community Assembly was sponsored by the Healthcare for the 99% Working Group of Occupy Wall Street. This is an independent, unofficial video, and it is not endorsed or approved by any of the participants.

St. Vincent's Community Assembly

Join us on Tuesday, Jan. 31, at 6 p.m. at the LGBT Community Center at 208 West 13th Street in the West Village.

With St. Vincent’s closed, the West Side still has no hospital beds below 57th Street. How can we bring a hospital back to our community ? How can we get true universal healthcare ? Come Join the Discussion ! RSVP at the Facebook page for the St. Vincent's Community Assembly.

This "town hall" is a consensus-based conversation facilitated by HEALTHCARE FOR THE 99%, an OCCUPY WALL STREET working group.

#OccupyWallStreet Police Brutality Protest and Term Limits Rally Invitation

YouTube video of #OWS protest against NYPD police brutality and use of excessive force, plus an invitation to the three-year anniversary of the term limits extension rammed through the City Council in 2008 by Speaker Christine Quinn.

NYPD Rush Horses Against #OWS Protesters in Times Square

NYPD charge horses into peaceful #OccupyWallStreet protesters in Times Square.

At many times, protesters can be heard saying to the horse-mounted police officers : ''Get those animals off those horses.''

This is not the first time that NYPD have used horses against protesters. During the mass protests against President's Bush deadly mistake to invade Iraq after the September 11 attacks, police officers from NYPD also used horses to intimidate peaceful protesters.

"HOW can the NYPD even FATHOM bringing horses into this mess? Not only is this an enormous safety hazard for ALL involved, but this is the exact opposite of conditions that are safe for a horse," wrote an animal rights activist on his Facebook page.

Is Mayor Michael Bloomberg going to denounce the NYPD for their use of excessive force against unarmed women ?
