Occupy -- A few hundred pigs raided the Occupy SF tent city around 2:00 a.m. this morning, and by around 6:00 a.m. the raid wound down, around 70 to 75 protesters were arrested and hauled away in a white SF County pig bus with bars on the windows. Other protesters cheered for their comrads on that were arrested, as the bus drove away.

The tent city was destroyed (over a hundred tents) and tossed into garbage trucks along with the personal belongings of the protesters, such as IDs, food, passports, photos, everything, etc... The protesters received around a 5 minute warning from the pigs to remove their stuff this morning... Impossible to comply with...

I captured over an hour (news broadcasts) of the raid on the SF Occupy tent city on video tape, mostly live footage of the standoff between the protesters in the streets, and the hundreds of pigs trying to round them up.

News Broadcasts: I have day to day video coverage of the Occupy movement and it's protests, etc... -- including raids of their encampments in around 21 hours of taped video (VCR) coverage. Including the November 14, 2011 second raid on the Oakland Occupy tent city, with day to day coverage through today, including the December 7, 2011 raid on the SF Occupy tent city.

In total, the video coverage includes some very interesting events, and many battles along the way with the pigs in Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, UC Davis, New York, Portland, Seattle, Washington D.C., and other hot spots around the country, trying to destroy the Occupy movement.

Battles with banks, foreclosed properties, shutting down the Port of Oakland, taking over the Brooklyn Bridge, and Wall Street, etc... Wild stuff!

I have had very little time to watch what I recorded since first recording it, but what I have watched seems to be absolutely incredible.

There has been a HUGE battle raging across the nation and the pigs have been militarized, and have been tearing down most of the encampments in larger cities all across the country. I captured some of it on video tape during the past 24 days or so, and am amazed at the beauty of the movement and all the wonderful people who are a part of it....

Regardless of the pigs/mainstream media attempts to stop the message of the Occupy Wall Street movement from reaching the public at large, the Occupy movement has been brilliant in it's moves to gain public attention, and has reached millions upon millions across the country with it's message...

Hope is still alive and well in this country!
