Sort of raises questions about the meaning of “To protect and serve” don’t it?

Meanwhile, there really is a corporate media blackout on the Wall Street protest that started on September 17. It’s almost impossible to get a coherent account of events at the protests, from any ‘mainstream’ news source. But Global Revolution is Livestreaming as of this date, and tweets are live at #occupywallstreet.

Meanwhile, enjoy an inspirational video from ‘Anonymous’* (excerpted portion of ‘Occupy Wall Street September 17, 2011’  http://youtu.be/2svRa-VSaOU)

* ‘Anonymous’ was reportedly arrested by federal authorities yesterday, September 23, allegedly in connection with his threatened cyberaction against a variety of institutions scheduled for ‘Day of Vengeance‘ originally planned for noon today according to a variety of published sources.
