People, the Occupy Movement is obviously growing into a bigger social revolution.
The video above is of police pepper-spraying nonviolent, calm UC students who refused to leave their campsite on the university quad.
We need to recognize and discuss police hostility toward peaceful protesters happening all over the nation. Everyone has a right to express their dissatisfaction with the way things are going and they certainly shouldn’t be punished for it. Those acting upon their desire for significant, positive change in a broken system are being physically attacked for their nonviolent resistance. What message does this send to future generations of our nation?
At least the video ends on a positive note. I believe that with enough inspired and involved people, we can make significant change toward human compassion, social advancement and enlightenment — things we’ve lost along the way to becoming money- and material-obsessed robots.
Wake up. Act. Band together.
