Students Arrested at New Orleans Protest Against Budget Cuts

WWL-TV Video Shows Police Brutality and Innocence of Arrestees


Posted on September 2, 2010 by occupyla
This shocking video by WWL TV shows the police brutality at UNO today, and the innocence of the 2 people arrested while protesting the budget cuts. If you were an eyewitness to any arrests, or have any video or photos of what happened, GET IN TOUCH WITH US so we can put you in touch with the lawyers!

The statements by Chief Harrington in the videos below contradict the above video evidence, and proves the police chief was lying. Perhaps when he complains about students “not following the agreement” he shouldn’t be lying through his teeth at the same time?

#1) WDSU raw footage of arrest of maced student and the UNO Chief of Police’s buffoonish dramatics. He claims he was brutalized by the non-resisting student, and that this resulted in a twisted leg.  He is finally taken out on a stretcher.  Fortunately, the previous WWL footage shows what really happened.

#2) You get to see some BP propaganda and hear schmaltzy music before seeing this footage from WGNO in which the UNO Chief of police claims that “he was punched by a protestor and then dragged down a flight of stairs.”  The Chief says he “knows who’s behind this protest.” Don’t count on the Chief knowing how to deal with the chiefless.  Here’s the WGNO report:

Call UNO PD 504-280-6666 and demand they drop the charges against the 2 arrested students from today immediately. They were maced and beaten, then arrested for peacefully protesting! There were tons of witnesses to this event that said they did nothing wrong. One has asthma and was severely hurt by the mace.

Call Chancellor Tim Ryan’s office too: 504-280-5536

CALL NOW!! CALL OVER AND OVER!! If you are an eyewitness to the police brutality and arrests please send us your story and contact information so we can pass it along to lawyers of the arrested students.
