Greetings from Occupied Wall Street,

Occupy Wall Street has recently come into the media spotlight, not
because of our political message, but because certain high-ranking
members of the NYPD punched, threw, and stepped on peaceful marchers.
Arrestees were handcuffed so tight their hands turned blue. Many of
these people have yet to regain feeling in their extremities. A senior
police officer infamously forced women into pens and maced them at
point-blank range. While we vehemently condemn these abuses of power, we
urge all who read this to remain focused on our intended message. Abuse
of power is abuse of power. Whether perpetrated by Wall Street bankers
or members of the NYPD, it is the duty of all citizens to oppose
injustice. We condemn the actions of unprofessional police who used
excessive force in subduing a peaceful march. But we are foremost here
to oppose the growing power of the ruling class.
Let us also be clear that, when approached as individuals, members of
the NYPD have expressed solidarity with our cause. It has been inspiring
to receive this support. Over these thirteen days, we have learned that
no one supports corporations' disproportionate influence in the
political sphere. We have learned that no one is in favor of evicting
struggling families to the street while banks continue to profit. No
one, that is, except the corporations and banks. We urge members of the
NYPD to remain in solidarity with our cause. These men and women could
lose their pensions and benefits during the next round of budget cuts.
We ask that members of the NYPD treat all peaceful human beings with
respect and care. This will be a great step towards reclaiming power for
the working class. Those who profit off the suffering of others will
held accountable. We are the 99%, and we are too big to fail.
Tonight we march to One Police Plaza.
