At Least 10k protesters gathered today 9/30/11 and many of them marched to Manhattan's 1st police precinct to protest police brutality.

A march is planned for tomorrow at 3pm, which is likely to attract thousands more.

I wish I could be there. I live so far away and I have a court appearance I don't dare miss. It finally looks like things are getting geared up. I hope things go well and it gets something done.

What's actually happening is that they are not allowed to use megaphones so the crowd close to the speaker has to repeat every sentence the the speaker says so that others can hear.

Darksky, you mention a very important point: the non-violence.

It's really important that the movement stays non-violent. So far it is and I really hope it will stay that way.
Even when some cops start the violence, like Mr. Bologna.

It's sometimes really hard to keep the calm when you see fellow protestesters being maced and arrested for no reason at all. But it is mandadory.
When the movies go viral with some cops spraying and the people being peaceful this is a very strong statement.
As soon as one bottle or a fist flies, you' ll here them say, we needed to protect us, against violent portesters yad yadi ya...

As well a lot of officers keep their calm. In one of the Bologna Videos you see an officcers saying: "Please mam, move back, thank you mam." Asked like this, i would step back.
When the other guy comes, and says "Move to the f**ing sidewalk or you get arrested" (can be heard in another video) he is askin for trouble.

So i hope it stays peaceful on both sides. And it s looking good.

Unfortunately, there is no revolution without martyrs. Soon or later, all this will get to that stage. Remember our history.
