Nonviolence at Liberty Plaza met with police brutality – video

Hero, who is a member of the media working group stresses that what drew him to Occupy Wall Street was a basic desire to be heard. In this video, Hero is seen making a passionate and emotional plea to the NYPD, appealing to their higher instincts and hoping to make them understand what their real purpose should be: public safety not suppressing speech. His plea for calm and common sense is juxtaposed against the jarring violence inflicted by the NYPD on innocent occupiers. (Video: OccupyTVNY)
