Earlier, we posted our take on the mass arrests yesterday in New York. We held that it was clearly the police who created the situation in order to split and harass the crowd and highlighted the obvious propaganda spin which the NY Times employed in its coverage. We are doubling down on this. The following video shows the NYPD actually leading marchers onto the Brooklyn Bridge roadway. No attempts are being made to stop them.

Distorting The Narrative

Oct 2nd, 2011
UPDATE 10:00am CST 10/02/11 There is video of the NYPD actually leading the marchers into the Brooklyn Bridge roadway.

From multiple sources, it seems clear that yesterday's mass arrests of at least 700 people who marched on the Brooklyn Bridge as part of the Occupy Wall Street movement was an event engineered by law enforcement rather than the result of intentional violations of ordinances.

The image below shows that this narrative was squashed almost from the beginning.

If anyone can identify officers who have used violence or excessive force during Occupy Wall Street, contact the New York ACLU at 212-607-3300

The coverage is biased, but at least it's something.
