Paul Krugman: How Occupy Wall Street Is Refocusing America

John Lennon quote for Occupy Wall Street

"When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you – pull your beard, flick your face – to make you fight.

Countdown with Keith Olbermann: Police violence at Occupy Wall Street protests

 
Keith and Occupy Wall Street protester Kelly Heresy discuss the latest documentation of police brutality at the marches and a New York Times report that calls the movement “noble but fractured and airy.” Ten days into the occupation, Heresy — who was one of the first to be pepper sprayed — clarified that the protesters support police officers: “We are not against the cops — the cops are part of the 99 percent — the cops, we would like to believe, are on our side. Because we understand that they have families, they have children, and with budget cuts they could be losing their jobs and pensions as well.”
