Police State Brutality @OCCUPYOAKLAND

OPD have been denying up and down that they didn’t use any rubber bullets or flash grenades, when clearly all the evidence is there. A year ago if people saw these photos, they wouldn’t believe this was on American soil. The media somehow has convinced people to ignore this and go about their day. Nothing wrong here citizens, move along.

it is beyond awful that this is going on but i would just like to remind everyone that what was done in this photoset (i.e. documenting the abuses that are happening) is the best thing we can do to fight back.  watch the police - it isn’t illegal.  use video, audio, photo documentation to hold them accountable.  use twitter, use tumblr, use facebook. we live in a generation of access, information and citizen journalism, you have so much more power than you think you do, than they want you to think you do.  don’t be afraid to use it.
