Citibank Customers Arrested For Closing Their Accounts.

Again there were many more spectators than there were police & *if* the situation as presented is accurate and the community had a problem with it then the community as a whole should have done something about it.

It has worked & continues towork in many places, even in places where policing isnt by consent (which it is in the US where this appears to have happened)

The police wouldnt have used violence against the entire community Jack, no matter how gung-ho they were, becuase by doing so they would only be signing their own death warrants as the community would turn on them and anyone in a uniform and beat the living hell out of them if not kill them all.

um, the NYPD emblems are front and center in the video...

and they have, what, 10+ rounds in the barrel of every officer's gun?

Now talk all you want, you obviously don't live here, so you wouldn't really know!

Go research unions versus police in America... that oughta give ya some recent trends...

remember the Boston Massacre?
not a world history student, eh?

nobody beat their asses, despite outnumbering them...
and the police largely if not totally got off,
in large part because of a spirited defense by a well-meaning American patriot who truly lived what he believed,
that everyone has a right to a spirited defense.


count on the people to have their day in court.

Now shut your face, you are putting people in grave danger with your reckless "advice".

That's a really nice theory, but practice has proven otherwise, especially in places like New York. It would not take long for the police to out number the protesters. And yes, they would use violence. Kind like what happened not that long ago in the UK.

I don't know why my phone is quoting Comp geek, but I meant to quote Kit-Fox.

you previously suggested that it has already happened in the USA, care to say where, or cite your source?

Anyone here ever been roughed up or beaten by a police officer, peace officer, or other law enforcement officer?

Tis not for the faint of heart...

Yep I have, 16 yo and tripping off my face having a laugh and not hurting anyone, copper tried to grab me and I nutted him without even realising he was a copper, split his lip and broke his tooth, next thing I know I was pinned down, couldnt even see how many were on me, got lifted into a van where the one I nutted put his knee on my chest and punch me in the face 3 or 4 times while the others were still holding my arms & legs.

I got done for section 47 assault ( ABH on police ), made a complaint and they said they had the word of 3 police against my word, no independent witnesses, and they claimed my bruises came from resisting arrest.


I do NOT recommend fighting police, they fight dirty and they get away with it.

I also do NOT recommend LSD in crowded places, if you want to try it, do it in private with a small group of friends on the same buzz.

I wouldn't recommend hard drugs at all whether it's crowded places or small group...
I mean, seriously? "if you want to try it do it in private..."

Bit off topic but YES it's good advice, people who want to try it will try it regardless as I did in my mid teens. Better for someone who has experienced it first hand to give them honest factual advice than to just spout the propaganda BS 'Drugs are evil, illegal etc blah blah blah' and be ignored.

Funny actually, I was watching a documentary on Discovery a few nights ago called 'How Steve Jobs changed the world', he took a lot of LSD in his teens too, who knows, maybe if he hadnt been a trippy hippy from the sixties we wouldnt have Apple, Pixar movies, IPods, maybe not even PCs to play this game on. Hundreds of thousands of other people also tried it, not just criminals & artists, normal people.

Personally I tried several types over a period of just under a year, in small groups we had some great times from laid out on the mountain watching the stars dance on microdots, to playing games and laughing for hours on end on Strawberry tabs, only bad time I ever had on it was at a festival where I got arrested ( trippy behavior kinda makes you stand out lol ). On the down side the comedowns are horrible, feels like all your nerves have been scraped, headaches, basically curl up in bed unable to sleep and wait for it to go away.

Now now, guys, we either play nice or i take the ball away and request the topic be locked

Has the story gone mainstream?

[Dubby_CompGamerGeek2]

relatively speaking, yea...

citibank had to issue a statement defending themselves...

and it's on a number of occupy wall street websites...

I didn't check the NYT or anything yet, but it's on AOL, and some others.

[[KMA]Avenger]

So not completely out in the mainstream, but is being reported...good, shows how corrupt banks are

[Dubby_CompGamerGeek2]

ya, from the looks of it, both NYPD and citibank have "new lawsuit" written all over themselves...

and while I do believe in climate change, and some of the other things you think are part of the conspiracy, I also believe the banks are corrupt, and OWS is doing a decent job under the circumstances...

and the video in your post might not be the only one out there.

[[KMA]Avenger]

TBH, (text speak lol) when i provide a link (especially YT links) i don't want people to think they are the be all and end all. they are meant to encourage peeps to look for themselves and if found, provide better links/videos


As for climate change...please don't get me started on all that! it's a fragging joke

Actually, it was on the TV in the breakroom at work when I clocked out. I didn't bother to watch it, as I was in a hurry. Needed to get a pie and my ride was waiting.
