Ok I'm not to sure on the name but 'Our side, your side' is the best i can think of so far. I’m sure you guys will be able to think of something better.

Basically the point of this day is to direct the global protests on police and the army. But in a positive way! The main focus is explaining to the authority that they are on the government payroll, and that soon all governments will be in debt and unable to pay them. Not to mention the people who pay taxes will be in debt too.

After reading this thread I have decided it could have great effects so I decided to share it with you all: (Good read if you haven’t read this already.) Portuguese military says "if people riot, it will side with them, not the government"!

Of course it’s not going to change all of the police and army’s views, but if we can even convince a few it may spread and help to prematurely bring down the force that is continuing to oppress protesters.

Some possible chants and/or placard slogans: -What will you do when they cant afford to pay you. -Your employer is in debt and about to fall, if this was a building you’d be climbing down the walls. -Join us now save the wait. -Your a human, I'm a human. Stop being stupid and join the movement. -You can’t protect society after your dead, so come join the fight and let’s end the fed (or debt) -Were fighting for you too, come join the revolution. -We are the 99%, authority (police) are no different. -We pay your wages, we are broke.

Not really the best slogans but I’m sure we can make some good ones.

Anyway, what do you guys think? I think its worth a shot if only for a day. Look at how the CIA operates, if they can destroy something from the inside they don’t need to go to war. So lets try and crumble authority from the inside by opening their eyes. People if you do not agree with this please dont down the thread, at the end of the day this is trying to help the authority. What im saying is fact and they need to understand we have a chance to make things better before they get a lot worse. With the authorities on our side, the 1% wont have much choice but to give us the power. We can make the world a better place for you, me and our childrens children.

Lets spread the word people! Thanks for reading.

"The main focus is explaining to the authority that they are on the government payroll, and that soon all governments will be in debt and unable to pay them. Not to mention the people who pay taxes will be in debt too."

Do you actually think that these people do not KNOW they are being paid by the government? Are you serious? Not to mention the fact that YOU are trying to bring down Wall Street-where their retirement funds are, and their union benefits. Why on earth would they want to help you destroy THEIR future?

"We pay your wages, we are broke." No, sorry. The top 30% of the taxpayers in this country pay the vast majority of the taxes that fund the police and military. That some of us are "broke" doesn't mean we all are, and trust me, if you decide to wreak havoc on society, and you turn this country into an every man for himself situation, the SMART men will be shooting/killing the people who caused the instability and defending those who they feel are innocent or have the power to feed and clothe their families.
