Occupy "We will not be moved"

How many times have you seen the video of the 11 college students sitting quietly, arms linked in protest at UC Davis? My guess is (if you watch any news at all) you've seen it at least FIVE times. I think I've seen it about 20 times. It's everywhere. But, what I've also noticed is that I have heard no outcry from President Obama (who should be standing up and defending these students against the senseless brutality of the police) I mean aren't these protestors the same group who came out in droves to support his candidacy in 2008? He owes them a great deal. But maybe he doesn't remember, as he has been eerily silent. That's probably one reason why today, he was Mic Checked, as he spoke to a group of students in Manchester NH. 

An alarming number of videos have surfaced showing the police dressed in full riot gear using unnecessarily harsh and extremely painful methods of gaining control over peaceful demonstrators. They have used everything from tear gas,and rubber bullets to club and batons (and who knows what else). They've sent an Iraq Vet to the hospital for 3 weeks and pepper sprayed and 84 year old woman.

When will it stop and WHERE is President Obama?

According to the website Truthout

For their efforts, they are being assaulted by a police force that has been turned, over the last decade of a fraudulent, trumped-up "War" on Terror, into a kind of American Gestapo, that "polices" communities with assault weapons, breaks into homes wearing masks, beats and gasses people without even bothering to arrest them, kills unarmed citizens with impunity, and considers criticism of its actions tantamount to a crime in itself, meriting assault and/or arrest--and that views peaceful public protest as inherently criminal behavior

The Obama presidency has been one of the greatest disasters for progressives in modern history, as a man who ran for office promising change and a new respect for the Constitution, almost immediately picked up where his predecessor had left off, escalating the country's illegal wars, enlarging the share of the nation's wealth going to the Pentagon and to the secret intelligence services, shoveling money to the biggest banks, endorsing the torture abuses at Guantanamo and at the many CIA black-sites around the world, authorizing the summary execution of American citizens abroad, and ignoring the looming catastrophe of global climate change.

We need a change "Like Rosa Parks, the Occupy movement sat down where it supposedly didn't belong and said, "I'm not moving," until what is wrong is set right once and for all."
I'm Just Sayin!
