I feel the police at these demonstrations are always on the lookout for any excuse to clear the maximum number of people from the area. Whether we know the law or not, we will not be heard. There will come a time when someone will get hurt by an over-zealous member of the police, and that is when this protest will change. I fear not for the better. Thank you for standing up with the Occupy protesters and helping them to get their voices heard!
Thank you Naomi for standing up not only for your rights but for all of our rights. I know- had this been a different scenario such as if we were in the police state I envision in the future…it may not have turned out well for you at all. This is what I fear. That the protests could escelate to violence is almost without doubt. But with or without- it is the end result that is most important. We HAVE to make a Stand NOW. If this dies–we all die with it.
Thank you Naomi for being one of those who have the courage and inspiration to stand up for our free speech rights and for a more humane world. peace and hugs
remember the GLIK decision from the Boston Federal Appellate Circuit… not necessarily on point (regarding filming on public park property) , yet describes in great detail the rights of the public…
Interesting how our “leaders” stand on podiums to loudly condemn the leaders of others countries where peaceful demonstrators had been mistreated by their police or military–heck, isn’t that the excuse they gave us for flattening Libya with our bombs?…Yet these same “leaders” sit silently as people in this country are denied their Constitutional and Universal Right to free expression, and assembly, are harassed, threatened and abused by the police! There is major cognitive dissonance going on here!
I am so glad the police in my city, Philadelphia, PA, have thus far treated the protesters with respect, and have not done anything remotely similar to the bullies in NY and other cities!
Glad you are ok though!
Personally, I applaud you for your bravery, and self restraint. You clearly knew your rights, and I sincerely hope you hand the city it’s ass on a silver platter over this. They need to stop abusing their citizens. You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, when are this country’s politicians going to learn that they need to rebuild a bond of trust that has been shattered with their citizens and that the best way to do that isn’t by abusing them?
Bravo, Naomi, for knowing the law and standing by your right to be where you were. And a special congratulations for being willing to be arrested for asserting your rights. I assume that the city attorney will decline to prosecute but if not, then ask for a jury trial (as everyone arrested at Occupy protests should do). With the video evidence, you will be acquitted and, in the process, you will tie up the court over a nonsense charge.
Hello! Thank you so much for telling the story in such a transparent manner. I think it is important for people to hear the kinds of things that police say to try to intimidate people, such as the part about saying the record will follow you around the rest of your life. Interesting tactics. Thanks for standing with the people! Very brave!
ive read your books and agree with much of what you say in them………actually MOST of it……but your WAY too smart to go down their and NOT focus the protestors on the CORE issues: Federal Reserve, Patriot Act, Wars……not this “wall street” garbage. Wall street has Power ONLY through the govt-fed reserve system….C’mon

don’t particularly think the cops are obeying the law right now. They’ve become a bunch of mini Judge Dredd’s.
Hang in there Naomi, you’re doing great work. If it helps, you looked great! And your friend in the picture seems to be having a decent time.
