I thought I had read that he was arrested last night......

 

Yes, he was arrested yesterday. He was out in Zuccotti on Wednesday night.

 

Note to Mayor Bloomberg: When a former Philly cop describes your police force as brutal, you would do well to sit up and take notice.

 

^^^ Truth ^^^

 

Brotherly Love in NY??.. Never.

 

Remember how dangerous and crime ridden N.Y. city was in the early eighties ? And now look at how low their crime statistics have become . They went to far with "zero tolerance" agendas and crackdowns . With an everyone goes to jail mentality , and now some brutal assaults on innocent "citizens" protesting their constitutional rights . It shows what a totalitarian police state they have let themselves become . The more they use violence against the o.w.s. protesters the larger it will grow .

Mr. Ray Lewis is proof that there are some good union cops left wearing brass . A cop for the people by the people , and he understands and is correct on where his loyalties lie . I commend him , and it took real guts to stand against his own blue line brotherhood . More should be like him , but too many today are nothing more than scabs . Who know nothing about union labor history , and which side they are supposed to represent . Unions should stick together always , and it's a fatal flaw that has developed in union labor . Because to many of their members are ignorant to what being a union member is all about , and the history of labor struggles .

While The rank and file union N.Y.P.D. officers are on the street brutalizing some of their own people , the N.Y.P.D. accepted millions and millions of dollars in " donation" money from a MAJOR U.S. bank . This should have been a MAJOR conflict of interest to the N.Y.P.D. " union" officers and representatives . And as far as I know to date , since the O.W.S. protest started and the money was accepted , their hasn't been a peep out of these so called "union" representatives about the N.Y.P.D. accepting these monies . Just what kind of union do they represent ? Where big banks can buy and sway the N.Y.P.D. favor against the o.w.s. protesters and other unions. Police departments should be funded with tax dollars , not ill timed " donations" from big business . And for their union reps. to stand by and take it , is a slap in the face to ALL union labor !
