As the protest known as Occupy Wall Street is advancing to great lengths across America, police officials are beginning to defy the rights of the constitution and go against the protestors. The police in many cities/states are attempting to order protestors to stop and go home, therefore going against their rights in the U.S. Bill of Rights that states that citizens have the right to assemble regarding common interests or to petition against the government for any grievances.
Despite the efforts of officials, the protestors state their rights and use it. They will (as the right allows them) protest and petition the government for the grievances in which it has brought upon them. If this is not enough, the police are also blocking the protestors of from certain areas (or attempting to) and are wrongfully stopping them and frisking them with no reason to. They are coming together in a peaceable (non-hostile) manner, and they are being frisked. Must be the governments petty and annoying way of going back at the occupiers.
Above all, a new uncompromising movement against NYPD's notorious Stop & Frisk program began yesterday as hundreds of demonstrators marched from the Harlem State Office Building to Harlem’s 28th precinct. At the station, Cornel West, author and Princeton professor, Carl Dix of the Revolutionary Communist Party, Rev. Stephen Phelps, interim senior minister of Riverside Church, and dozens of others were arrested in an act of non-violent civil disobedience. Following this the crowd chanted loudly , "We are serious and we will continue until we Stop Stop & Frisk! Stop & Frisk don’t stop the crime, Stop & Frisk IS the crime!"
Government officials and police officials are beginning to unlawfully take away the citizens rights. They do exactly what the protesters are against, just to stop the protest. This is when you know our country is circling the drain...
