NEW YORK - More than 1,000 demonstrators speaking out against corporate greed and social inequality have taken their protest to the New York Police Department headquarters.

The Occupy Wall Street protesters camping out in lower Manhattan marched several blocks north Friday to police headquarters. They demonstrated there for about two hours against the police response to the downtown protest, which is in its second week.

For "Occupy Wall Street," Radiohead just a sideshow
Michael Moore helps to "Occupy Wall Street"

Critics have accused officers of being heavy-handed, saying they have roughed up people who did nothing wrong. The NYPD has disputed that claim.

The protesters also say they're upset about reports from The Associated Press that an NYPD intelligence unit has sought to infiltrate the city's Muslim community.

Friday's march was peaceful. Police say there were no arrests.

These demonstrators willfully refuse to:

One, become educated in modern governmental undermining and plundering of our wealth creation enterprises, and . .

Two, refine their aim and attack the right target.

Our money-grubbing politicians of both parties, but mainly my former party, have emplaced for themselves the most plunderous and successful money-grabbing machine on earth, and they don't even have to work one hour for it! They just tax the living sh_t out of our corporations (at the highest rate on earth), forcing our corporations to go overseas to survive in this new NAFTA world, a world generated by East Coast academics, liberal and progressive theorists, democrats, UN people and other corrupt plunderers of our national treasury.

The target for these demonstrators should be the democrats, RINO's and their NY/DC/public unionists/UN/Internationalist/Cloward-Piven-ist 'friends' who've enriched themselves through DC corruption and have purposely allowed this horrendous situation to develop for the rest of us, (and who have also enriched their friends and allies handsomely by means of their insider robberies dating back for the last fifty years).

Sharing the wealth, I mean sharing the plunder, with friends and like types, so to speak.


It is Congress and their bureaucratic allies who make the rules for the "evil corporations" to follow, not the other way around.

It's about time the people protested these bloodsucking parasites who charge you a fortune for pushing buttons to let you use your own money, who steal everything they can get their hands on, who use all their insider information to cheat everyone, who knowingly sell bogus products that have no value, and who own the politicians so nothing will ever change. Our economic system is so corrupt it stinks to high heaven, these people want to lance the boil and bring back sanity. They have my full support. I hate the banks and investment firms almost as much as I hate insurance companies.

Thank goodness the American Autumn has finally started. It is way past time but never too late. The greedy right wingers don't know when to stop. They and their big corporate masters have awakened the sleeping giant.

First the young, then labor joins in, and then all the progressive and liberal groups and Voila! Victory for the virtuous over the violent vermin, vehemently, violating the vox populi.

you are a clown.

These protesters are clueless and it's halarious.

They want jobs and homes. No bailouts for the rich. Who are the people who can't understand this?

coucou,
""""Friday's march was peaceful. Police say there were no arrests. """"
======================
Yet the images seen on TV, prove otherwise, the police assaulted some protesters
"au revoir"

OMG. A protest going on in America against corporate greed and social inequality. And CBS news is covering it! Congratulations, CBS. Now, you might try covering the truth of their claims. Now, THAT would be news.

but the article was written by a 6th grade aspiring journalist... or so it appears.

1000 people is absolutely nothing. This isn't even worthy of the press covering it.

[notyrants]

1,000 representatives each backed by millions of people. The tea party is backed by the money of corporate monarchies like the Koch brothers.

I live thousands of miles away from NYC and though I would love to be there for this, I can't make it. For every occupier there are a million people like me. Got 200 occupiers? You got 200 million people supporting them from a distance. We send them food, we send them money, we send them Love. Don't underestimate the "size" of this thing.
