Good old Mayor Jean Quan. Not satisfied with being world-famous as the most bumbling Mayor in history, she speaks to inter-State collusion behind the scenes, regarding Occupy evictions in cities across America.

Mayor Jean Quan aka the mayor that sent in riot police with flash bang grenades rubber bullets & tear gas to fire on unarmed civilians then recanted apologised & said they could stay, then last night sent in MORE riot police to do it all over again – has just lost her legal advisor. Resigned in protest, at the abuses of her office.
At least SOMEONE in her office had a conscience…

Watch this video (you will have your mouth hanging open) then call this number 001-510-642-6760 (direct dial from NZ) and tell the person on the end of the phone exactly what you think (yes its a toll call but worth every cent). That could be your child. Or your co-worker, considering one of the professors at this university occupation is now in intensive care.
And here is a CBS video version of the arrests:

Since the media probably hasn’t told you, in the USA, today is the first General Strike in 65 years. It was called in solidarity with an Iraq war veteran who participated in Occupy Oakland (CA) and was shot in the head by riot police. To see an AMAZING photo of the protest (bearing in mind that the march doesn’t even officially start for another 15 minutes so this massive crowd is just the early birds…) here:
