fully geared riot police surrounded the poor peoples rally
at the united natons EVEN BEFORE IT REALLY BEGAN..
the intention to march was well known BUT not permitted..
the police ALMOST suppressed the rally in Dag Hammerskold Plaza
IN FRONT OF THE UNITED NATIONS..only a blitz negotiation..
mediated by NLG observers.. forerstalled the inevitable..
the group marched down 2nd avenue to 23rd street..
where they turned west and headed towards 8th avenue..
(the only “incident” being an undercover policeman
being ejected from the ranks of marchers)
all along twenty third street people draped bed sheets..
clothing…anything they could wave..out their windows..
to show unity with the poor and unemployed..the marchers ROARED back
seeming to be charged by the display..
after making it to 29th street and 8th ave..IT BEGAN
the police WITH NO WARNING invaded the crowd swinging billy clubs..
and riot batons and deploying interlocking metal barriers to “split the march”

THIS IS A TACTIC..citizen x has seen it used before..
it is unbeleivable in its BLATANT inflammatory nature..
IT MUST BE SEEN FIRST HAND TO BE UNDERSTOOD..
there was NO announcement..
i asked every senior official on the scene..
what the meaning of the police behavior was..
I WAS THREATENED WITH ARREST AND VIOLENCE..
there were NO corporate media present on the scene..
the early reports were conducted from 25th street and 8th ave.
well out of sight of the now isolated marchers..
all but the indymedia were either elsewhere or..
ALLOWED THEMSELVES TO BE kept..
at an extreme distance from “the action”..
citizen x followed phalanxes of riot police..
who themselves were following young students..
as they attempted to EXIT THE AREA..when it seemed..
that the youth were safely away..OUT OF DANGER of being beaten..
in the abandoned side street..i returned to 29th and 8th..
at this point i loudly demanded an explanation as to why?
the poor people were being treated..
IN SO DIFFERENT A WAY than other protesters PERMITTED OR NOT..
i declared that the police were employing unconstitutional mechanisms..
to deny citizens THEIR RIGHT to free speech and assembly..
IN DIRECT CONTEMPT of a New York State court order..
regarding the use of PENNING TACTICS..again i was THREATENED..
without compunction without any sense of ethic or professionalism..
THESE WERE THUGS IN UNIFORMS.
citizen x has praised the NYPD for their conduct in earlier protests..
now I CONDEMN THEM.
TOMORROW IS A31..
A DAY OF DIRECT ACTION
AGAINST DELEGATES AND THEIR EVENTS
ladies and gentlemen
its ON.
