I am not a cop, and think this police brutality is absurd. However I do have a solution
I think the best way to deal with Police is to convince them to JOIN OWS.
For example, OWS should hold signs and protest for "Do not steal Police Pensions" "99% for Police Fair Pay" "99% against Police Pension fund theft" I am sure you can get creative with ideas.
Then when protesting you tell the cops you are there for them.
Given this, what cop would pepper spray, or baton someone fighting for their cause. Then Simply bring in other groups, such as Fire Department and fight for there cause along with your own cause.
If the POLICE are on your Side the other side will LOOSE.
Bring the cops to your side. Protest for Cops Rights. Find other cops to protest with you in uniform, holding signs and protests for cops rights.
Look to 911 first responders to help. I am sure they will be there along with OWS to protest if they see how they are the 99% as well.
Get cops on your side. Fight for their cause.
Civilmack is right, contact the trade unions. Find a state where they have the minimum or no minimum wage. I think Oklahoma is 2 dollars an hour, not sure. http://www.dol.gov/whd/minwage/america.htm Anyway once you find the minimum wage then you contact the unions in those areas, as they have a wage disparity. Then promote your cause.
We have ammo already here in Australia, they are starting to merge: http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/5000-protesting-police-march-through-sydney-20111122-1ns3m.html
I agree with your sentiment, but I believe OWS protestors have been doing this from the beginning. We need to contact their union officials and convince them to have their forces refuse action against peaceful protestors.
I should add that we don't want them to strike... that could bring negative publicity (missing violent crime responses) and many have no-strike clauses in their contracts already.
Good idea. Good post amartin.
carry an American flag ( maybe 12"x18") in your pocket - if they attack - hold it up or in front of your face
