As previously reported, the police in Chapel Hill were armed with assault rifles as they went to arrest protesters who had occupied several buildings. According to the newsobserver
The former University Chrysler and Yates Motor Co. on West Franklin Street in downtown Chapel Hill was abandoned for “many years.” The only fact that police and protesters seem to agree on is that the protesters occupied the building.
wral reports that the protests claim the building was open. According to the protesters, the building was open. The police say they were responding to a report of a break in.
Of course, the police also say that they were watching the building since Saturday night, but they waited until Sunday to make any arrests. As reported by wral:
“Police said more than 70 attendees from an anarchist book fair broke into the former Yates Motor Co. building, at 419 W. Franklin St., on Saturday. Police monitored the group until the crowd reached a more manageable size, and then a tactical team moved in late Sunday and arrested seven people.”
The Culture of Violence Is By The Police Not The Occupy Movement
Notice they only talk about police and not Offical Homeland Security fusion centers coordinated action against protesters. My question is why??? Ommitted information like that effects your perception of who and what to blame for this. Local police are following orders from above and their Bosses are in Public office. Meet force with exposure on those really pulling the strings.Force them into the light
