NYPD Counter Terrorism Unit Monitoring The Occupy Wall Street Protests

The New York City Counter Terrorism Unit has been filmed watching the peaceful Occupy Wall Street Protests.

The officers, part of the the New York City Counter Terrorism Bureau which has a police force bigger than the FBI, were filmed monitoring the Occupy Wall Street protesters by independent journalists who have been forced to do the job of the corporate controlled media which has largely ignored the wall street protests.

Apparently, peaceful protesters rallying against the very banks who created the economic crisis are now considered possible terrorists by a police force that has been largely used to monitor and intimidate innocent Americans.

Recently 60 Minutes ran a piece on this counter terrorism bureau, essentially worshiping unconstitutional checkpoints and pushing the fear of another terror attack in their explanation as to why New York needs 35,000 counter terrorism units to combat cave dwelling Muslims, not to mention the 2,000 and soon to be 3,000 cameras on every New York City street corner.

This disgusting piece of “journalism” also worshiped the idea of “Force On Display” and random police swarms of unsuspecting neighborhoods.

What the 60 Minute piece failed to acknowledge was that this unit is actually being used against innocent, politically active Americans!

The fact that the mainstream media is almost completely ignoring these protests while at the same time the NYPD Counter Terrorism Bureau is actively monitoring them, shows just how scared the establishment is of grassroots activism and protests.

It is also important to note that while this protest was at first promoted and started by what some have labeled open socialists, the fact of the matter is that many of the protesters now occupying wall street are actually anti Federal Reserve Ron Paul supporters.
