When will the police support the Occupy Movement?

Every day there are reports of police officers using force against peaceful protestors exercising their Right to Assemble and Freedom of Speech.

History repeats itself. All social movements in the U.S. have been plagued by the police protecting factory owners, coal mine operators, the railroads, racist governments, and the military-industrial complex which we now identify as the One Percent. The police in all these cases did not realize that they were defending the very ones who oppressed them and duped them in believing that they were defending the public good. In the long run, those protesting were supporting the ‘right thing’ and the police were supporting the status quo.

Sometimes, the military and the police, like in Egypt, come to the conclusion that they must side with their fellow citizens. When will our police have this change of heart?

In this posted video, there are some brave policemen who recognize that they are ‘cogs in the wheel’ supporting the One Percent. However, many police are afraid to join the ranks of the Occupy Movement and defend the Constitution, not the One Percent. Why are they afraid, because the One Percent pay their salaries and benefits, which without them they would be out of a job. The One Percent are using the unemployment and under-employment situation for their advantage to ‘brow beat’ the ninety-nine percent into submission. This is not democracy, this is tyranny.

The police in the U.S are acting as puppets for the One Percent. But, for how long will this last? When will they join forces and defend those in the Occupy Movement? That moment might come sooner than we think. When it does occur, this will be the turning point which will demonstrate that change is coming.
