Meanwhile in America…
It’s not Egypt. It’s not Tunisia.. it’s not Yemen. And it’s not pretty. Last night, protesters from OccupyWallStreet had more than just chilly temperatures to deal with: Cops showed force with the use of horse..
The video is dramatic, and often language is not appropriate for children. But it’s real, raw, and true: It was uploaded to the We Are Change YouTube channel. It shows cops on animal facing down protesters. Things got heated throughout the course of the video, with cops often closing in on people with horses.
Some comments say it’s similar to the predicament protesters faced in Egypt during the summer riots in Cairo. While the New York City situation at this point is very different from the violent rage in the streets in the Middle East, it is clear that as the OccupyWallStreet protests continue, it is becoming a dicier situation and one with more tension and animosity between people and authorities..
