I'm a police officer. I'm part of the 99 percent. In the '60s when people would protest, would gather in order to bring about change, right? Those protests were nonviolent they were peaceful assemblies. They were broken up with dogs, hoses, sticks. It looks like there was a square, and police shot tear gas. That could be the photograph or the video for our generation. That s our Birmingham. So, twenty years from now this movement could be the turning point, the tipping point, right. It s about time your generation stood up for something. It's about time young people are in the streets. Ya'll don't need to throw gas canisters into a group of people occupying an intersection.

A Philadelphia Daily News/Franklin & Marshall College poll finds strong support for Occupy Wall Street among Pennsylvanians. Perhaps most surprisingly, the poll asked respondents if they would support a candidate who aligned themselves with the protesters. Fifty-seven percent said they would and 33 percent were opposed; 10 percent were unsure.

On the same day that the right-wing Weekly Standard produced yet another post intimating that the whole of the 99 Percent movement is anti-Semitic, a group of Jewish-American leaders denounced smears against the movement.
