Update: Occupy Boston police arresting peaceful Occupiers...

[rasputin1952]

I have just returned from Occupy Boston, Dewey Square; I spent the entire day down there doing interviews with various news outlets and taunting the BPD with the only Veterans for Peace flag left for Occupy Boston.

Let me say this right off the top, everything that happened was instigated by the BPD. The lies that came out for media digestion were perpetrated by police commissioner Ed Davis, as far as I'm concerned, (and expressed to every media outlet I spoke to), Davis is nothing more than an ape.

The VfP moved in front of the Occupiers to protect them, they were pounced on by Davis' thugs. One of the excuses was that "$150,000" worth of landscaping was going to be "destroyed" by Occupiers, this was blatantly false! At about 10 pm, I saw one plant that had been accidentally stepped on, and three Occupiers stating that it needed to replaced as they intended to leave the Greenway with only the sod being disturbed. Throughout the Occupation, Occupiers have been adamant about keeping the area clean and have collected enough money to reseed the area in the Spring. The Occupiers are extremely conscious of everything they do, and they are environmentally aware on just about everything they do.

The BPD destroyed the recently landscaped Greenway during their rampage, then, the ape, (Davis), blamed Occupiers for the destruction. Everything that came from BPD is a lie, (the latest being some officers were spit upon). The BPD has concocted stories to exonerate themselves from any blame. Occupiers were tossed to the ground, after the BPD knocked veterans down, to include a 74 year old that lost a filling and injured his leg during the take down. The American flag was the first to go down, and the BPD stomped all over it as they went ballistic. Watching some tear down and throw tents and personal belongings, it reminded me of Ghengis Khan's Mongol horde on a rampage. $300 worth of VfP flags were tossed into the trash truck, and a personal American Flag was confiscated, probably sitting in some cop's house as a "war trophy"...:grr:

One of the most despicable acts was the confiscation of prescription meds that were in the medical tents for safe keeping. How the BPD thought that taking Rx meds is somehow justified baffles me to no end. The thought that an inhaler, insulin, antibiotics or scheduled meds have anything to do with this arrest is completely insane, especially since many of the people these meds belonged to never got arrested. Imagine someone having to go to a Dr to try and get meds replaced w a/story like this. What gave the BPD any "right" to do this?

I'll update as news becomes available. Everyone that was arrested has been released.

I have added a link to a realtime video shot by an Occupier. It's grainy, but what does one expect from the time this was taken.
